Has Tom Cruise Ever Tried to Give Sanity a Bad Name?

INTERVIEW WITH A VAMPIRE Cruise How did Tom Cruise transform himself from struggling young actor to Scientology god? With help from the Church of Scientology's "SEC WHOLE TRACK" questionnaire, that's how. The internal church document was developed by Scientology founder and onetime science fiction writer L.
