Celebrities Who Got Involved with Scientology

Jerry Seinfeld briefly dabbled in Scientology in the 1970s, taking a few courses early in his career. At the time, he was a struggling stand-up comic trying to refine his craft. While he never became a member, his short-lived involvement reflects how Scientology attracted curious entertainers in Hollywood.

Seinfeld has since clarified that his connection was minimal, calling the classes “helpful” but not life-changing. Unlike others, he never embraced Scientology as a lifestyle or faith. Instead, he used some of its teachings to sharpen his performance skills before moving on, making him a minor but notable brush with the church.
