“The Chosen” is a TV series that was recently released and all the episodes are now available for free on YouTube! It is about the life of Jesus. Father Mark Goring has been watching it and highly recommends it as a feel good show that brings joy to the soul. The actor who plays Jesus, Jonathan Roumie, is Catholic.

How has your Catholicism influenced your performance?

Roumie: Catholicism has influenced my performance in that it’s the oldest branch of Christianity. There’s so much history. There’s so much to delve into as far as the experiences in the lives of the saints, of martyrs, of how the faith sort of evolved over time. I think it’s made me a very open and tolerant person as far as other faiths and other denominations of the faith … and I think going into this kind of project when not everybody believes the same thing as you do, it just kind of gives you an already open mind to be able to work with people.
