Michael Peña

Peña has starred in several films, like American Hustle, Fury, and The Martian. He gives credit to Scientology. The religion helped him with his acting to become a more confident reader and actor. He credits one of the Scientology programs, Study Tech, and said it made him a better reader and ultimately “Which made me a better actor because I felt like it helped my understanding of scripts.” He originally joined to help with his drinking habit, stating he continued with the practice and said, “And then there was the next thing and the next thing. For me, it isn’t a religion like a belief; it’s practical things you do.” Peńa has reaped the benefits of practicing Scientology (The Guardian).
