I always enjoyed michael keaton on screen.
He sort of disappeared for a few years.

Nice to know he had a Catholic upbringing.
Is he a practicing Catholic today does anyone know?

His portrayal of James Jesus Angleton in “The Company” is one of the finest performances I have seen in my life, easily surpassing that of Matt Damon in “The Good Shepherd. Angleton himself, of course, was the son of a devoutly Catholic mother, hence his middle name.
