Teen Wolf actor Dylan Sprayberry has revealed that he became a Scientologist after years of struggling with addiction, anxiety, and depression.
The 28-year-old actor shared the personal news in an Instagram video posted Sunday, telling followers that he joined the Church of Scientology three years ago.
Sprayberry described the experience as “epic” and said it has been “so fantastic” for him.
The actor said his path to Scientology began after he got sober. According to Sprayberry, he quit drugs and alcohol at age 23 after spending about a decade battling addiction.
He said he first turned to drugs as a teenager while trying to cope with anxiety and depression.
But even after he stopped using drugs and alcohol, Sprayberry said the deeper emotional struggles did not disappear.
After two years of sobriety, he realized he still had not addressed the issues that had pushed him toward substance abuse in the first place.
Sprayberry said that changed after he met people involved in Scientology. That connection eventually led him to the church’s “purification rundown,” a detox program that includes exercise and sauna sessions.
The actor described the program as transformative and said it helped him in a way he had not experienced before.
Sprayberry also credited L. Ron Hubbard’s self-help book The Way to Happiness with changing the way he looked at his own life.
He said the book helped him understand happiness as something shaped by his daily choices and actions.
The revelation puts Sprayberry among a long list of Hollywood figures who have embraced Scientology over the years. Some of the church’s most famous celebrity members include Tom Cruise and John Travolta.
Sprayberry is best known to many fans for playing Liam Dunbar on Teen Wolf. His new comments offer a rare public look at the private struggles he says continued long after he got sober.
