Why did Tom Cruise join the church of Scientology?

Question

Update:

He’s a brilliant actor and personally, I like him.

But early on in his career I think he witnessed how easily Hollywood can destroy the very stars they make and he wanted a grounding influence that would give some guidance to his future.

He HAS made some mistakes but not as bad as they might otherwise have been.
