The late Sons of Anarchy star, 29 — whose body was found in the driveway of his L.A. home after falling or leaping to his own death on Wednesday afternoon — not only had many run-ins with the law in recent months, but his behavior left probation officials concerned about his mental health.

The actor's father, Michael Lewis, was a high-profile member of the controversial, star-studded religion — which counts Tom Cruise, John Travolta and Will Smith among its adherents — and even co-wrote a film with the faith's founder, L. Ron Hubbard. What was the actor's attachment to the church? Lewis was involved in Scientology's drug abuse program, Narconon.
