A short study of the ten most successful actors <ref>http://www.toptenz.net/top-10-most-successful-actors-at-the-box-office.php 10 most successful actors] </ref> shows that only 50% are Christian (compared to 76% for the general population), with 30% expressing no religious beliefs at all (15% in the general public). These actors have had successful careers and it is very likely that religious affiliation in regular actors is much lower, exposing or predisposing them to the influence of Hollywood values. [[David Lynch]], for example, is apathetic towards all [[politics]] and [[religions]] and prefers [[transcedental meditation]] instead. Adrian Zmed, 1980s [[teen idol]] who starred alongside [[William Shatner]] in the [[1980s]] police drama, ''T.J. Hooker'', said in a June 20, 1983 interview with [[People Magazine]] that his rigid upbringing by his [[Romania]]n [[Eastern Orthodox]] [[priest]] father caused him to play juvenile deliquent and greaser roles (ex. in [[Broadway]]'s long running stage musical ''[[Grease]]'' and the 1982 sequel [[movie]] ''[[Grease 2]]'') as a relief from "having a [[Father]] who is *your* [[father]]", and had also said "Preachers kids have a sense of rebellion in them".
[[Scientology]] is practiced by many Hollywood personalities. [[Tom Cruise]], [[Krisite Alley]] and [[John Travolta]] are perhaps the most well known Hollywood Scientologists.
