Answer:
Quoting krudebox
Matt Damon and James Croll.
Croll was a janitor in Andersonian College and Museum, Glasgow when he published his paper explaining the effects of variations in Earth’s orbit around the sun on global climatic conditions, and specifically the onset and retreat of ice-ages.
Similar to Matt Damon’s character in Good Will Hunting who solves a problem on algebraic graph theory while working as a janitor in MIT.

The connector between Matt Damon and James Croll should be the film, Good Will Hunting, since Croll was a janitor (in a museum and not in a school)

After some time, I must say..
Well, it’s James Croll and his reel-life imitation, Will Hunting, from the ‘Goodwill Hunting’ fame.

Good Will Hunting depicted an autodidact
James Croll who came up with a theory of the ice ages was an autodidact
