Stephen Baldwin on choosing born-again Christianity over Hollywood after a life-changing encounter with God

Stephen Baldwin believes he could have been one of Hollywood's biggest stars, but he doesn't regret leaving the business for something far more important: his faith.

In a new interview, Baldwin, 60, reflected on the career-defining success that followed his role in the Oscar-winning 1995 crime thriller, "The Usual Suspects," and opened up about why he never felt drawn to chase stardom.

"I probably could have pointed myself in the direction of becoming a big star," Baldwin told People.

I didn't want to be Tom Cruise, and have to make $100 million at the box office.
