A: That was probably a while back when I was a teenager and a lot more dramatic. I grew up with Scientology – my parents at one point were clerical. It's a pragmatic philosophy, not merely a belief system. Yeah, it's had media exposure because certain luminaries do Scientology, but millions of people do it who are not celebrities. It's not a threat or some cult."

Giovanni Ribisi at Hollywood.com (1829 words)
Giovanni Ribisi began acting at the age of nine and was a familiar presence on television before making the move to the big screen.
Ribisi had a small, but entertaining role in Sofia Coppola's meditative "Lost In Translation" (2003), playing a workaholic photographer and absentee husband to a bored woman (Scarlett Johansson) looking for excitement—a role rumored to be inspired by Coppola's then-real-life husband, director Spike Jonez.
Ribisi had an amusing turn in "Cold Mountain" (2003) as a backwoods hick whose generosity with food, moonshine and the women of his hillbilly clan turns out to be less benevolent than it first appeared.
