Longtime television actor Jason Beghe has come out and slammed Scientology as a total rip off and false religion.

Fox reports that Beghe was best man at the wedding of pal David Duchovny and actress Tea Leoni.
He also starred as Demi Moore’s love interest in "G.I. Jane." Beghe has also appeared in "Criminal Minds," "Numb3rs" and "CSI."
Once a devout Scientologist, beginning in 1994, Beghe did promos for the Church of Scientology.
"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---ed up."
The YouTube is the precursor to a longer more revealing interview with Beghe that’s promising to blow the lid of the secretive cult.
Beghe notes in his video he is considered a top Scientologist, or "OT 5" — similar to Tom Cruise, John Travolta and Kirstie Alley. But Beghe reveals: "The further up the bridge, the worse you get."
Beghe adds: "I don’t have an agenda. I’m just trying to help. I have the luxury of having gotten into Scientology and after having been in it, been out. And that’s a perspective that people who are still in and not out do not have."
