Jerry O’Connell: Suddenly Funny

"Tomcats." "Body Shots." "Kangaroo Jack." Jerry O'Connell doesn't often star in movies worth watching. So we were understandably surprised to stumble across a clip that made us re-think our "stay away" stance.
The viral video, not coming to a theater near you, features the c-lister doing a dead-on impression of Tom Cruise's recent Scientology video. It's an impressive performance full of subtle grins and terrifying guffaws worthy of the Top Gun himself.
Searches on Jerry surged into the thousands and related queries on "jerry o'connell tom cruise spoof" and "jerry o'connell parody" also posted gains. Additionally, interest in FunnyOrDie.com, the site that hosts the clip, jumped 25%. The attention is good news for O'Connell, but we doubt Cruise will be inviting his former co-star back for "Jerry Maguire 2" any time soon.
