By Elaine Liner Elaine Liner Archives

At last, see the controversial interview with actor Jason Beghe, ex-Scientologist. The Village Voice was first with the footage Monday, provided by videographer Mark Bunker, who conducted the interview.

The videos were posted on Vimeo and Blip, after YouTube yanked Bunker’s three-minute “teaser” of Beghe ranting against the cult-like religion last week.

In the eight-part conversation, Beghe talks about how he got into the Church of Scientology, why he was drawn to its beliefs about personal empowerment and what prompted him to “blow” (Scientologese for quitting) after spending $1 million on courses and auditing that he now says didn’t deliver what was promised.
