Player #3441974
Nobody ever mentions his performance in TAPS. Doesn't anyone remember that movie? That movie was loaded with terrific actors, my favorite having been the late, great George C. Scott. The movie is about a LOT of different issues but what stood out most to me was how the families of these children basically threw them away and the General (George C. Scott) loved them while being firm.

he and David Miscavage are laughing all the way to the bank with their scientology freakshow scam!

Liked him in All the right moves, but when they picked him to portray Jack Reacher, I think they made a mistake. The Lee Child/Jack Reacher series needs someone SERIOUSLY larger for that character!

Player #3441974, He was also on the movie "The Outsiders"

I have ZERO respect for a man who favors his "religious beliefs" over his child! Katie was brilliant in handling the divorce to save her child from being indoctrinated into that cult!!
KookyOrangutan5005
his two front teeth are not lined up right. he decided early in his career not to have them fixed for Hollywood. I believe scientology is evil and a cult. I like his acting, I don't judge the man. 😊⭐

Let's not forget the Vampire Lestat! Brad Pitt as Louis. Being an Anne Rice Fanatic...I screamed at "The Powers That Be" when I heard Tom was going to play Lestat. After seeing the movie, I can't imagine anyone who could have brought him to 'life' as well as he did!

Player #3441974, Agreed, TAPS was one of my favorites growing up. Scientology is so ridiculous though.

Scientology kills.

Hey, let's not forget the 1985 movie "Legend" with Tom Cruise, Mia Sara and Tim Curry. This was directed by Ridley Scott, it's an epic dark fantasy adventure. Personally, I really liked it. I have yet to see the Director's cut.

KookyOrangutan5005, he wears false teeth
