Or, if you are looking for someone from the later-days, what about Philastus Hurlbut?
He's the guy that got the whole anti/ex-Mormon movement going.
Or, his predicessor, John C Bennett.
Lest we forget the ladies, what about Fanny Stenhouse or Fawn Brodie or Sonia Johnson?
Then, more recently we have such luminaries as Brian David Mitchel and Wanda Ileen Barzee.
Thanks, -Wade Englund-
How about Ed Decker who probably encouraged a spate of Church bombings in Chili (while his own son was serving there I hear) with his FBI/Mormon connection statements?
Amy Adams, of "Enchanted" fame, is an exmo. Between her and Katherine Heigl, exmo women are burning up the silver screen these days.
You're missing some of my favorite exmos. Lola Van Wagenen, former wife of Robert Redford. Kurt Bestor (but he was a convert anyway, and now has one toe in and nine toes out). Larry King's wife, Shawn Southwick, might as well be.
I'm sure some of us are celebrities.
The road is beautiful, treacherous, and full of twists and turns.

I think I could definitely go for Fawn Brodie in this conversation.
Actually I'm quite positively inclined toward William Law nowadays. I wish he'd actually recognized the fundementally manmade nature of the church as a whole, and not just disagreed with Joseph Smith's rampant sexual predation, but hey, he was doing the best he could in the milieu in which he found himself.
Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen
So do 'exmos' have to meet certian criteria? Do they have to be off the records of the Church or just inactive? Do they have to be antagonistic towards the Church or can they be indifferent?

I think the point of the poll is that these people are "celebrities" apart from any association with the Church (which would make Dutcher's inclusion tenuous at best). Everyone you mentioned has only gained notoriety in connection with the Church.
I vote for Paul Walker, since he has achieved the most with the least. But I was just listening to Kurt Nilsen's cover of "She's So High" this morning, and I haven't watched a Paul Walker movie since "Fast and the Furious" years ago, so props to Tal as well. It's a great song.

I voted for Izzie.
