In 1998, he became a follower of the Falun Gong spiritual movement, which he says helped him to overcome substance abuse issues which had plagued him for years. In February 2002, he travelled with some other Falun Gong practitioners to China, to peacefully protest the Chinese government's ban of the religion. He was arrested, detained, and finally expelled from the country.
