Melbourne
(ANI):
Once
a
strong
promoter
of
the
Church
of
Scientology,
US
TV
star
Jason
Beghe
has
left
the
religion
behind
and
dubbed
it
"destructive" and
a
"rip
off"
in
a
new
YouTube
video
rant.
According
to
Foxnews.com,
Beghe
has
slammed
the
Church
of
Scientology,
after
he
first
appeared
in
its
promotional
spots
in
2005.
The
video,
in
which
Beghe
has
acquired
an
abusive
tone,
is
touted
as
a
three-minute
teaser
to
a
longer
interview
with
the
actor
that
will
soon
be
released.
"It's
very,
very
dangerous
for
your
spiritual,
psychological,
mental,
emotional
health
and
evolution.
I
think
it
stunts
your
evolution.
If
Scientology
is
real,
then
something's
f***
up," News.com.au
quoted
him,
as
saying
IN
THE
VIDEO.
The
48-year-old
star
is
now
speaking
against
the
religion
as
he
has
turned
his
back
towards
Scientology
after
taking
courses
since
1994.
In
fact,
he
has
completed
so
many
courses
in
the
religion
that
he's
considered
a
top
Scientologist,
like
Tom
Cruise,
John
Travolta
and
Kirstie
Alley.
Beghe
starred
as
demi
moore's
beau
in
G.I.
Jane
and
was
also
seen
in
a
number
of
TV
dramas
such
as
Criminal
Minds,
Numb3rs,
and
CSI.
