The tv series was a ratings bonanza for ABC and lasted for 6 seasons ending in 2010. Think someone on this board actually worked the show and gave away branded bottles of water to local Pelicans in L.A. a few years ago.

TC's cousin was a major character involved in a plot twist. Think he died in season 1 but made many appearances in flashbacks and alternative timelines in later episodes.

Not really. If you really want a good clue, piece together the puzzle from post #63 above. All shall be revealed.

Will Smith should do it!!!

[Steve Carlton]

Clive Owen has the right look. Couldn't say if he could play the part or have a believable accent.

Think about it for a minute... we pay people millions of dollars to get in front of a camera and pretend to be someone... then we get all upset about that persons personal life.

A lot of hate (or sour grapes) in this thread.
Just my two cents.

I don't see it as hate. I used to like Cruise a lot. On and off screen I thought he was a compelling guy. Quite a gear head too. I don't hate the guy, no sour grapes. On the contrary, it is a commentary on how such a great actor can be taken in by something as insidious as Scientology. This cult masquerading as a religion is a hateful, vindictive dangerous group of narcissists that destroy people, families, marriages and anything else that dares to oppose or criticize it's activities.

By virtue of his celebrity, Cruise is the cult's most visible spokesperson. As such he is surly aware of the Scientology's misdeeds and alleged crimes. That he would still identify with such a farce makes him either a total stooge or willing co-conspirator to a complete sociopath (David Miscavige - Scientology leader). Either one is enough to convince me to keep my $15 and watch a different movie.
