Milton Katselas

Famed producer, acting coach, and Broadway producer Milton Katselas ran the Beverly Hills Playhouse for 30 years. Some of his students have said that they felt pressure to join the church of Scientology because he was so passionate about his beliefs

Though he ultimately sought to leave the organized church in later years, he remained loyal until his death in 2008. What could cause him to seek a break with this seemingly solid institution is unclear, but he certainly isn’t alone.
