Tom Cruise—say what you will about him—his espousal of, you know, certain thetanic… tenets, his heartfelt and misunderstood need to jump on couches, whatever. He’s still the most savvy action producer-star out there.

In the role of Ethan Hunt, he’s out-Bonded every Bond actor longevity-wise, he has great movie-making integrity, and he’s one of our most underrated actors. We could all use some of his thetanic conviction, apparently. “Thetan” is an L. Ron Hubbard-coined Scientology term, in case you weren’t aware.
