Mark Janicello is an American who lives in Berlin.
An Artist and Entertainer that Taliban Scientology set out to destroy.
We don't ALWAYS hear of Scientology draconian and evil thuggery played out in Europe but this is a good tale.
Mark became quite a know figure and has written a book. More on this, please follow all my comments on this thread.
When Leah left, he did another big TV Interview for German TV about Scientology Janicello's life reads like a typical American show business success story, until Scientology crossed the young performer's path. Janicello unexpectedly landed in the crossfire of a 13-year, international, hate campaign that befits a Hollywood fast action thriller ~~ more than the autobiography of an artist. Janicello's life has been more bizarre than any fiction. Crushed between Scientology's enemies within several European governments and the cult itself, he went from stardom to "persona non grata", virtually overnight. He lost millions in contracts and appearances. He was arrested, blacklisted, slandered, publicly humiliated, and was often forced to perform with police protection. At the time of the biggest protests.
Eventually with that amount of FAIR GAME from OSA deluging him with ambushes to destroy his career and well being, Mark wrote a book. It was more as a cathartic exercise than anything.
The book "Naked in the Spotlight" reads like a typical American show business success story, until Scientology crossed the young performer's path. Janicello unexpectedly landed in the crossfire of a 13-year, international hate campaign that befits a Tom Clancy novel, more than the autobiography of an artist.
