Yes, you really should watch the whole interview now that it is up at xenutv and everywhere else. You'll see that he's not crazy.

@Juancho: I live in Vancouver, and the store in the city which is most famous for stocking masks can't keep V for Vendetta masks in stock, according to one girl who works there. They don't know if it's Anonymous or Co$ buying them up, but they're flying off the shelves. The fact they're a block from the Co$ shop might be a tipoff.

Of course the "C"o$ is real--a real scam.

@Crinkelbert_Fishtybuns:
Nah. He's out and well out. He makes fun of the whole 'clears don't get diseases but there are post-clears suffering from migraines and they're all happy'

This guy's not crazy. He's been through some wacky shit and is still probably deprogramming a bit. But he realizes the rabbit hole he's come out of. His laugh was clearly satirical.

Molly... do your homework, honey. If this was posted back home at Deadspin we'd have already raked Will over the coals.

I watched the 3-minute thing on youtube. What makes him seem crazy to me is that at times he sounds less like he's calling bullshit on the whole thing and more like he accepts the basic "ideas" behind Scientology, but has issues with how they were implemented. But that was just my impression.

There are plenty of non Scientologists in LA. He seems like he can take the heat. He'll be fine.

If you want your cult investigatory committee to be taken seriously, maybe don't name it "Operation Clambake"?

@Juancho: Don't need a mask - I'll tell anyone what I think of their creepy cult.

If you have to pay someone for enlightenment, well there's your enlighenment right there (...in your wallet).

He doesn't sound crazy, just confusing, he is spouting nonstop cult jargon that Scientology teaches its followers so that what they say can't be interpreted unless you're already in the crazy fold. Good luck to him; Scientologists don't play nice.

Oh, wait, this isn't just another bad Tom Cruise imitation?

It's an interesting dynamic, getting press for oneself while simultaneously killing one's career.

I spent 6 years at the BHP and know Jason quite well. While not a close friend, I respected him as an actor. He is NOT crazy.....just one intense MOFO. He's right about the correlation between more time at L Ron's "Church" and the more Fucked Up people get. It's especially worse with women.....they lose their sense of self the most.

Do you realize that Jason Beghe is the FIRST ex-Scientology celebrity to speak out about his experiences and abuses he witnessed while a member of this Cult? You may think he's "crazy" but to me he appears to be pissed off and venting more than anything. His "ha ha, ha ha" laugh is in reference to how Scientologists in general behave in their brainwashed euphoric states - i.e. Tommy Boy. Scientology is a dangerous mind control Cult and its tax exempt status needs major review and revocation.

I posted a link to this clip on Monday in the article about Tom wanting Katies to find non-Spicy friends. I thought the laugh was him referring to Tom Cruise, not his own. In any case, yes, he's pissed off. Fucking clear 3x thank-you-very-much, but pissed off nonetheless.

I know of Beghe's work, name, etc, I'm really good with actors and actress. Got to say, this clip was totally cool.

@Tiger_Tanaka:

Yeah, same here. He doesn't come off crazy, just extremely pissed off that he wasted all that time and money, and for what: the boyfriend role in G.I. Jane???

How come nobody mentions his Monkey Shines? The monkey peed on him.

Oh, and he'll be dead inside a week. Just watch.

This is awesome. Taking down the wacko cult, and any "pay-to-play" self-help organization, is heroic.

man do I hate the SciTi's. They ruin Hollywood/LA. I live right near the damn Center on Sunset and I slam the door on them everytime they show up (which is thankfully rare). I feel bad for people who are such suckers and can't wait for that think to implode... I'm sure it will be glorious (at least it is in my head).

Remember: Xenu loves you!

My crime? I love too much.

Maybe it's me, but I don't read him as crazy as much as very pissed off about his experiences. The laugh is an imitation of a poor lemming who drinks the kool-aid, no? Anyway, I'd have a beer with him.
