Films

Has he been in a decent film at all?

Born on the 4th of July
The Last Samurai
Magnolia
Collateral
Tropic Thunder - less so perhaps but he stole it with those dance moves LOL.

I'm led to believe that he's been in decent films but I'm always put off going to see anything with him in it because of his frankly absurd religious views.

Firstly I'm not a fan of Scientology or off Tom Cruise. His crazy religious views should not stop you from seeing him as an accomplished actor. I can see why some people are turned off from his films, especially in America. In fact Paramount fell out with him over his public statements and behaviour. Which just made him start his own production company since he is has his own cash, and financing his films in most cases for some investors is probably a no-brainer.

I enjoyed him in eyes wide shut with kidman. Both their wooden acting worked with that films premise

Don't get me started on that film.
