Daniel Jackson in Stargate SG-1, actually. I knew that he was more of an Egyptologist, but his generalist knowledge in all-things-human made me look into anthropology as a teenager. I wanted to be the guy with an encyclopedic knowledge of human history, cultures, and languages, who could tie it all back to contemporary crises.
