I don't find Katie Holmes to be a particularly outstanding actress. Her biggest breaks were Dawson's Creek and being Mr

I am sorry, but by the end of Dawson's creek they were avg 4 million viewers. That's peanuts. At the height of their show it was 6 million viewers. In contrast friends had an average of 14 to 24 millions viewers ( this info is taken from Wiki) This is why Rachel ( JA) could make the transition and KM could not. 4 million viewers is not a lot of viewers. The soaps average 3 million. She was a small time TV star. For people who watched Dawson's Creek she was a mega star, but the average person she was a nobody until she got with TC. If anything that raised her star. People would want to see a movie with her in it just because she was TC wife. TC has a wildly successful acting career so I doubt people were turned off by the Scientology. I also doubt TC really controlled what she did that much. From 2003 - 2006 (when she married TC and DC ended) She did 6 movies or TV shows. So about 2 a year. Nothing besides Batman Returns was a mega success. Thank you for Smoking did ok ( had a 10 million budget and made 40 million) So obviously, she wasn't riding the success of Dawson's Creek into big time Hollywood. She was in 6 roles from 06- 11. But you also have to factor in she had a kid. None of those movies were the best. I think Jack and Jill did ok at the box office.
She is nothing more than TC ex wife. I like others would suggest she move back into TV because over the last 10 years the big screen hasn't liked her. She's been in 12 TV/movie roles in the last 10 years and still hasn't "made it". She is a TV star and will never be a movie star. -

Nothing more than TC ex-wife? Oh,pleaseshe had a caree5b4r BEFORE she met him, and will continue to have one afterwards. Her career was never dependent on his,anyway-he didn't make or break her, regardless.
