Don't think I know any of them enough to like them except Tesla which seemed to be one of the few good and selfless human beings

As far as some more commonly documented mathematicians with references available, the following.

Paul Erdős
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Erd%C5%91s

For his prolific contributions to a variety of publications and his relatively open use of amphetamines. A proper meth-matician.

John Von Neumann
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_von_Neumann

For stories around his eccentricities and for projects such as his Von Neumann architecture, which was fairly innovative at the time.

Kurt Gödel
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_G%C3%B6del

Largely due to his Incompleteness Theorem, which is one of my favorite results and approaches in a proof I've read.

Srinivasa Ramanujan
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Srinivasa_Ramanujan

For his unconventional story and for some scans I found years ago of his personal notebooks that I haven't been able to locate the versions of since. This was years before a film was released about him, which I haven't bothered to watch.

Martin Gardner
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Gardner

For his work in recreational mathematics publications.

Grigori Perelman
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grigori_Perelman

For his work on solving one of the Millenium Prize Problems involving The Poincaré Conjecture and his somewhat reclusive nature. He sort of reminds me vaguely of a mathematics version of Aphex Twin or something, based on what little resources I've found.

There are many others that are less documented and that I've had first-hand experience with for various reasons including unconventional calculation methods they introduced to me, though unfortunately I've forgotten many of these.

I didn't realize Woody Allen was a historic academic, or possibly so ancient.

Scratch that, I meant Woody Harrelson.
