I don't know why Rick Schroder was mentioned. He's barely a star compared to the rest of the line-up. If you had to force an LDS member in you should have picked Katherine Heigl, at least she's a big star. Although I'm doubtful, after posting all these other stars who changed faiths, you'd ever post a LDS star who left the church such as Katherine Heigl.
Dave Chappelle ... I used to watch him all the time. Interesting, I had no idea he was a follower of Islam. Nor that Richard Gere was a buddhist, a faith (or philosophy in my mind) that has always held my interest. Can't go wrong with promoting peace and happiness with one's self.
