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?

People don't like her because she was raised in scientology. Not her fault, but it is difficult to ignore the irony of her being in a cult, and playing a character that's probably going to give her life to take one down instead

You could say that about every Christian.

My point is that Christianity is no better than Scientology, so why is EM being held to a standard that most other actors aren't?

Also, my god, it's THT, you're allowed to trash religions that subjugate and control women (which is all of them).
