The main difference is that she accepted the role and then dropped out because her nutcase boyfriend's cult frowns upon drugs.

Criminal activities...? Like what? As I understand it, they get plenty of money by overcharging for books, services, and travel expenses. It may be bizarre but I don't see where it becomes illegal.

You obviously haven't really researched Scientology. Once you get in, it's virtually impossible to get out. They brainwash you, they extort money and they can harrass you. Hell, "Fair Game" is considered an adequate practice for dealing with those considered "Enemy" within their Sea Org group (which is their elite status for their properly brainwashed followers):

May be deprived of property or injured by
any means by any Scientologist without any discipline of the
Scientologist. May be tricked, sued or lied to or destroyed.

... Sounds legit to me!

Giovanni Ribisi (Beck is married to his sister) and Christina Ricci (a friend of Beck's who contributed the Japanese girl's lines to Hell Yes) are both Scientologists if I recall correctly, but unfortunately I can't verify that against the NYT article from March that contained it since it's now behind their paid subscription service; if anyone that has a NYT subscription cares enough, just Google "site:http://www.nytimes.com Beck Guero" and it's the only match there.
 
The NY post? And we should all be thanking Cruise for this, if true. And what religion isn't weird and full of loonies.

WHAT RELIGION ISN'T LABELLED AS ORGANIZED CRIME BY COUNTRIES (AS WELL AS BANNED), BRAINWASHES THEIR FOLLOWERS, ALLOWS FOR THE PHYSICAL HARRASSMENT OF ITS FOLLOWERS AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR A HANDFUL OF DEATHS LOL AM I RITE?

Then, with the assistance of psychiatrists, he summoned billions of people to paralyse them with injections of alcohol and glycol, under the pretense that they were being called for "income tax inspections." The kidnapped populace was loaded into space planes for transport to the site of extermination, the planet of Teegeeack (Earth). The space planes were exact copies of Douglas DC-8s, "except the DC-8 had fans, propellers on it and the space plane didn't." DC-8s have jet engines, not propellers, although Hubbard may have meant the turbine fans.

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

Scientology is just plain scary. I've heard it's officially classified as a "dangerous cult" by quite a few sources, right up there with good old cults like Heaven's Gate and People's Temple, both of which were responsible for large mass murder/suicides. Ugh. :(

Luckily for Cruise he's rich and famous and could probably break free from the chains of Scientology if he wanted. Any average Joe off the street who gets suckered into that shit is pretty much stuck for life it seems

So is John Travolta, but apparently they got him by the balls because of his shady past.

income tax inspections

you can't make this shit up :p

what i'm finding highly hilarious is that tom cruise's belief system revolves around these things - i wish someone would quiz him on xenu's super colossal motion picture! :lol :lol

I see it was ok for Cruise to play a heartless killer though. There must be a clause in Scientology for him to do what he wants.

I had forgotten how fascinating browsing Scientology sites could be...

i'm reading a horror story about a woman's 12 year stint in scientology - pure insanity

In which Cruise played a drug-addicted cop. Cruise is a hypocrite. :D

You said it before I could. Wasn't his character snorting coke or something in Magnolia? That couldn't have been a natural machismo.
