Jason Beghe escapes Scientology

A celebrity poster boy for the Church of Scientology has escaped the religion and slammed it on YouTube, dubbing it "destructive" and a "rip off".

Jason Beghe, who starred as Demi Moore's love interest in G.I. Jane and featured in TV dramas such as Criminal Minds and CSI, became a Scientologist in 1994.

Beghe, who has completed so many courses that he's considered a top Scientologist like Tom Cruise and John Travolta, started appearing in promotional spots for the church during 2005. But now he's slammed the religion, saying that it's "very, very dangerous for your spiritual, psychological, mental, emotional health and evolution."

"If Scientology is real, then something's f*** up," he said.

Watch what Beghe has to say. **WARNING - he says the F-word a lot.

The video is billed as a three-minute teaser to a longer interview with Beghe. But the short video packs a powerful punch. Watch it -- Here --
