There aren’t many people who need to preface speeches with reminders they are not, in fact, God incarnate, but actor Jonathan Roumie is part of an elite club of creatives who have starred in widely known portrayals of Jesus.
Jesus and Simon the Zealot feed the 5,000 in a scene of Season Three of "The Chosen."“All right, let’s give it up for Jesus!” said Jonathan Falwell, son of conservative Christian activist Jerry Falwell and the campus pastor at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va.
“I’m not the real Jesus. Let’s just get that out of the way. TV Jesus, real Jesus,” said Roumie, gesturing first to himself, then skyward. “Jim Caviezel movie Jesus,” he added in a playful nod to the actor best known for his role as Jesus in Mel Gibson’s 2004 film, “There aren’t many people who need to preface speeches with reminders they are not, in fact, God incarnate, but Roumie is part of an elite club of creatives who have starred in widely known portrayals of Jesus.
The approach has earned Roumie 412,000 Instagram followers and another role as the troubled Jesus look-alike, Lonnie Frisbee, in the new filmfrom Lions Gate and the faith-based Kingdom Story Co. The movie tells the true story of a large-scale conversion of hippies in a coastal California town. “I know who I am, and I know my identity in God, and my faith helps keep me on track,” Roumie told RNS. “For me, Mass is a part of that. The sacraments are a part of that.”
Roumie may be carving out a less strident form of political engagement compared to Caviezel. “The Chosen” actor will headline this year’s National Men’s Conference in Cincinnati — a Catholic conference that lost its sponsorship from the Archdiocese of Cincinnati in 2022 due to concerns about the “baggage” carried by keynote speakers, which included Caviezel.
“He had a very strong Christological sensibility and portrayed Jesus as empathetic but basically as a paragon of suffering and took a conservative religious and theological perspective to heart in framing his picture,” she said. “That’s going to, in general, attract a different kind of audience.” “For some actors, it’s just a gig, a good famous role,” film critic Peter Chattaway said. “For others, like Jim Caviezel … he was known before the “Passion” was made for being an openly Catholic actor.”
