Paul Haggis vs the Church of Scientology "He concluded, 'I hereby resign my membership in the Church of Scientology.' Haggis was prominent in both Scientology and Hollywood, two communities that often converge. Although he is less famous than certain other Scientologists, such as Tom Cruise and John Travolta, he had been in the organization for nearly 35 years." — New Yorker
