As we wait to see how nasty the Tom Cruise-Katie Holmes divorce becomes, we asked Tom's former Scientology auditor and legal affairs adviser, Marty Rathbun, to speak to us about the last time Cruise was in this position.

In 2001, Cruise and Nicole Kidman ended their 10-year marriage, and it was Rathbun's job to bring the actor back into the church.

What the public didn't know at the time was that Kidman had been successful at keeping Tom almost entirely out of the church during their marriage, which is part of the reason that Scientology spied on his every move with the use of one of his employees. Once the couple split, however, Rathbun was tasked with luring Tom back into the fold. (He did such a good job, by 2004 Cruise was a rabid Scientologist.)
