A Long List of [Famous] Scientologists

My sister had a rule in her house that she wouldn't watch a movie if it starred a Scientologist. This was the summer Tom Cruise seemed to lose his mind, and effectively shut her out of War of the Worlds and Be Cool. I adopted her policy recently, knowing it could, at the very least, get me out of discussing movies of television I didn't like, and thus avoid friendship-ending conversations. I know it's not right to show prejudice against specific groups of people, but do Scientologists really count? There's certainly evidence that the organization is scary and dangerous.

Whether or not you embark on this boycott, it's hard to remember who's a Scientologist, because the organization is so deeply entrenched in Hollywood. Because I love making lists, and because I often forget (only to repeat a meeting with crushing disappointment) myself, here's a list of confirmed Scientologists.

In the interest of transparency, I make an exception for Beck and Menace II Society. And Whip It. And The Simpsons. I loved Whip It. Please don't take them away from me. (I also make an exception for Modest Mouse in my Not Supporting Rapists boycott. I feel guilty about both.) Hey! I do a fairly consistent job in boycotting Nike.
