Tom Cruise. Happy Birthday.
 

Tom Cruise - Film Actor, Producer, Actor - Biography

Really enjoyed many of his movies and I had e-mailed him for years back in the early 2000s. Not sure if he ever replied or not as I was sending a very large number of e-mails out in the early 2000s. These e-mails did have a topic of quite a lot of interest to Scientology. Many were critical of psychiatry and its use for social engineering rather than healing or at least coping with mental illness. They do go way too far though IMHO in their criticisms.

Cruise's religion, IMHO, is nothing but...a wacky cult. :oops:

But even more galling to me, is casting him as...Jack Reacher. :swear:

Reacher is 6'-5"...250lbs.

NOT 5'-6"...150lbs.
