 What? You mean: 
  
 Nearly 40 years later, Scientology has arrived in Hollywood in a big 
 way. The list of celebrity Scientologists now includes Cruise, Kidman, 
 Priscilla Presley, Lisa Marie Presley, Anne Archer, Juliette Lewis, 
 Kelly Preston, John Travolta, Mimi Rogers, Karen Black, and Kirstie 
 Alley. There are dozens of lesser-known Scientologists in show biz as 
 well: Lee Purcell (big Wednesday), Jeff Pomerantz (General Hospital), 
 Geoffrey Lewis (Juliette's dad, who was in Every Which Way but Loose, 
 among other movies), Judy Norton-Taylor (The Waltons), Nancy 
 Cartwright (the voice of Bart Simpson), child TV actor Vonni Ribisi 
 (My Two Dads), Michael Wiserman (Predator 2), Kimberly Kates (Bill & 
 Ted's Excellent Adventure), Michael D. Roberts (Rain Man), and Gary 
 Imhoff (the forth-coming Thumbeliina). Then there are the 
 behind-the-scenes talents: Dick Tracy screenwriter Floyd Mutrux; 
 composer Mark Isham (A River Runs Through It); actor and acting 
 teacher Manu Tupou (Hawaii); and director Dror Soref (The Seventh 
 Coin), who cut his teeth on Scientology films and now has a deal with 
 Paramount. Scientology even claims one of Hollywood's most successful 
 acting teacher, Milton Ketselas, who heads the Beverly Hills 
 Playhouse. People who have drifted trough Scientology include Jerry 
 Seinfeld, Patrick Swayze, Top Gun producer Don Simpson, Harvey Heber 
 (brother of CAA cofounder Bill Heber), actor Brad Pitt, and Ernest 
 Lehman, screenwriter of The Sound of Music. 
  
 may be involved in this??
