The rock star economist honed his acting skills on the set of the new Russell Brand-Jonah Hill film "Get Him to the Greek", and he's getting rave reviews.

We're not sure why he's in the film, but check out Krugman's star turn below:

The economics Nobel was funded by the Royal Bank of Sweden. It's not as prestigious as the 'hard science' Prizes, but certainly more so then the say, Peace Prize.

A Nobel prize in Economics isn't really a Nobel prize. It's kind of joke how the "Nobel" prize in Economics came about.

It takes a heap of sorry to be awarded a Nobel Prize for Economics, then, Mr. Sour Grapes?

Let see.

He's got several books published, Teaching gig at a university. NY Times Column. A Nobel Prize.

Probably got some other irons in the fire...

You?

A moniker than makes you out to be a Republican Dog.

krugman is defintely a pop culture icon -- the voice for the intelligent, educated "elite" that has been silenced by snowbillies and crime families.

Just more evidence that Krugman is sexy.

Yes! But more in a cuddly, teddy-bear kind of way.
