Stunning actress Nazanin Boniadi made TV debut on the hit series Homeland on Sunday night, and if she looks familiar it's because she's the same woman who was purportedly recruited and vetted by the Church of Scientology in 2004 to become Tom Cruise's wife.

The 31-year-old actress plays rookie CIA analyst Fara on the Showtime series but she first made headlines last year when Vanity Fair did an expose reporting that Boniadi was secretly chosen by Scientology to date Cruise before he ultimately married Katie Holmes.
