A short study of the ten most successful actors <ref>Johnson, Bryan (July 15, 2009). [http://www.toptenz.net/top-10-most-successful-actors-at-the-box-office.php "Top 10 most successful actors at the box office"].  TopTenz website/Entertainment/Movies & Television/People.</ref> shows that only 50% are Christian (compared to 76% for the general population), with 30% expressing no religious beliefs at all (compared to 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 [[transcendental 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|''People'']] Magazine that his rigid upbringing by his [[Romania]]n [[Eastern Orthodox]] [[priest]] father caused him to play juvenile deliquent and greaser roles (ex. "Danny Zucko" in [[Broadway]]'s long running stage musical, ''[[Grease]]'', "Socks Palermo" in TV's short lived sitcom, "Flatbush" and the head T-Bird in the 1982 sequel [[movie]] ''[[Grease 2]]'') as a relief from "having a [[Father]] who is *your* [[father]]", and had also said in the same interview "Preachers kids have a sense of rebellion in them". ''Once Bitten'' (1985 teen 'comedy') [[vampire]] "Countess" lead character says to her male target's girlfriend that "the [[cross]] won't 'work on me' (keep vampires away) cause I'm an [[atheist]], but having sex will".
