1. Tom Cruise--I. Just. Can't. Stand. Him.
Oh, it's just so hip to hate Tom Cruise now! Call me crazy, I like him as an actor.
Collateral,
Magnolia,
Jerry Maguire,
A Few Good Men,
Minority Report are all good performances.
As for the Scientology thing, yeah, I admit it's weird, but nobody gives the same shit to Jason Lee, Beck, or Nancy Cartwright. My God, it's not like Voo-Doo or Snakehandling.
