The Resume

    (April 18, 1965- )
    Cousin of Tom Cruise
    Appeared in movies such as ‘Without Limits,’ ‘Magnolia,’ ‘Almost Famous,’ ‘In The Bedroom,’ ‘Swordfish,’ ‘Suspect Zero,’ ‘The Grudge,’ ‘Lords of Dogtown,’ ‘The Zodiac,’ ‘Vanilla Sky’ and ‘The Kiss’
    Portrayed Ethan Rom in ‘Lost

Why he might be annoying:

    He was his cousin’s personal/production assistant.
    Some of the movies he appeared in starred Tom such as ‘Vanilla Sky,’ ‘Magnolia’ and ‘The Minority Report.’
    When shooting ‘The Grudge’ in Tokyo, he was surprised how the city was not noisy.
    He describes his ideal woman as ‘a screwball comedienne.’

Why he might not be annoying:

    Strangely if you replace the P in Mapother to an N it is an anagram for his Lost character, Ethan Rom (and Other Man).
    He is not under Tom Cruise’s shadow and is a recognized as an actor in his own right.
    His father is a former judge.
    Tom Cruise is not only his cousin but also one of his closest friends.
    He is a former high school teacher.
    He has a B.A. in English from the University of Notre Dame.
