Mimi Rogers

Mimi Rogers began working in television and film in the early 1980s, taking the professional name that would accompany a long acting career. Born Miriam Spickler, she first won attention in guest roles on series such as Hill Street Blues before moving into features, including Ron Howard's comedy Gung Ho (1986).

Her breakthrough came in 1987 with Ridley Scott's Someone to Watch Over Me, in which she played a wealthy murder witness opposite Tom Berenger. The role established her in studio thrillers, but she resisted being confined to one genre. In The Rapture (1991), she gave one of her most discussed performances as a woman who joins a fundamentalist Christian group and faces an apocalyptic crisis.

Rogers brought a poised, comic edge to Mrs. Kensington in Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997) and played Dr. Maureen Robinson in the 1998 film Lost in Space. She also appeared in the werewolf horror film Ginger Snaps (2000). On television, she was Diana Fowley in The X-Files and later Honey Chandler in Bosch, a role that introduced her to a new generation of streaming viewers.

Offscreen, Rogers was married to Tom Cruise from 1987 to 1990. A longtime Scientologist, she has been widely credited with introducing Cruise to Scientology. Her later career has continued in television and independent films, with character roles that draw on her versatility.
