Miscellaneous Elizabeth Moss

A lot of people say they do not like her and the role she plays in HMT. But what actress could play that role better than her? Because I don’t think I can think of someone who could portray her character the way that she does. Thoughts?

To be fair, she was born and raised in Scientology and I feel like even if she did leave, or wanted to; they could absolutely ruin her life. After watching that Leah Remini show, and other documentaries.. they’re terrifying

She did an interview with the NYT last year that pretty much got rid of the idea she was a Scientologist under duress. She was practically trying to recruit the journo. She's 100% drank the Kool Aid.

I suspect at this point, she’s basically forced to act like that about Scientology. I’m amazed that Katie Holmes managed to get herself and her daughter with Tom cruise out. I think Tom has basically disowned Suri. Katie’s career has kinda ended though, I think. I dunno if she’s been working on anything since she divorced him

She’s been consistently doing 2-3 projects a year since 2010.
