Tom Cruise is an American Psycho
I read this
interview where the director of American Psycho revealed that Bale's performance was based on Tom Cruise.
Below is the reference to this topic in the article:
It was definitely a process. We talked a lot, but he was in L.A. and I was in New York. We didn’t actually meet in person a lot, just talked on the phone. We talked about how Martian-like Patrick Bateman was, how he was looking at the world like somebody from another planet, watching what people did and trying to work out the right way to behave. And then one day he called me and he had been watching Tom Cruise on David Letterman, and he just had this very intense friendliness with nothing behind the eyes, and he was really taken with this energy.
Trivia:
In the book, Tom Cruise is mentioned as living in the same building the where the psycho character currently resides and they even meet in the elevator.
My take on this:
Don't Scientologists believe that they are souls that have lived on other planets before living on Earth. So if Bale was looking for a human Martian to copy for the role in American Psycho, Cruise is a pretty good choice.

TMI
As much as I admire honesty, there is such a thing as over-share. Dude, TMI!

Faith is going to kick your ass!
In the slideshow
Fanboys' favorite geek girls, Eliza Dushku is credited as being known as Echo from the show Dollhouse.
Sure, that is her current gig. But I believe that the fanboys still fondly know her as ass-kicking, five-by-fiving Faith from her Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel days.
