What do these three TV characters have in common?

• Shari Rothenberg (played by Kate Mara) on "24"


• Michael Tribbiani (played by Paulo Costanzo) on "Joey"


• Tyson Mao (as himself) on "Beauty & the Geek 2"

(+/-)answer

All three TV characters attended Caltech.

Last night on "24," Shari Rothenberg used her Caltech Chemistry degree to deduce that a natural gas plant must lower the operating pressure before adding nerve gas into the supply stream.

Michael Tribbiani, Joey's nephew, was a graduate student at Caltech.

Tyson Mao is currently a senior at Caltech majoring in Astrophysics.
