00:00
A woman was in the back of the church crying out to him and calling him Jesus.
00:05
This is like the best day of my life.
00:07
This is just bizarre.
00:09
I want Jesus.
00:11
Playing Jesus Christ, that has to be a huge responsibility.
00:15
So this is it? This is the beginning? This is the start?
00:19
This is the start. Right now is the start.
00:21
My life has gotten pretty insane the last year.
00:27
The Chosen is the first multi-season series about the life of Christ.
00:31
It's also the highest crowdfunded TV project of all time.
00:35
Christianity is the largest religious audience in the world.
00:37
And there's nobody that's playing Jesus at this scale.
00:40
When you're playing a really iconic character like Jesus, you feel like you have extra responsibilities.
00:46
When you look over the centuries, Jesus is depicted in every medium.
00:49
And he continues to be referenced over and over again in culture.
00:53
You're telling Jesus.
00:54
I like to picture Jesus in a tuxedo t-shirt.
00:56
Jesus Christ at our dinner table.
00:58
Does anything make you feel more uncomfortable than some stranger going, "I'd like to talk to you about Jesus."
01:04
He has expressed to me that he does have a desire to learn more about Jesus.
01:08
What could this carpenter from a forgotten corner of the Roman Empire possibly have to say to our world today?
01:14
I have so much to talk to you about. I am serious.
01:18
The whole Jesus Christ thing, what do you do with that?
01:22
I meet people that tell me that when they pray to Jesus, they see my eyes.
01:26
But is he the Messiah? He's not trying to be the Messiah. He's not on that trip.
01:31
It's starting to scare me.
01:33
My life has always been, in some way, hiding behind the character.
01:39
You can't make everyone happy, so you do what you can.
01:42
For somebody who cares about control, the idea of surrender seems like the absolute worst outcome.
01:51
How do I not be this when I don't want to be?
01:54
How do I turn it off?
01:56
Everyone is looking for three things in life. Purpose, love, and connection.
02:04
It's not until you get to the end of yourself that you get to the beginning of something else.
02:08
I know it's a lot of pressure, but some people will form an opinion about God based on you.
02:13
Hey, Jesus!
02:14
What's going on?
02:15
You excited? You ready?
02:17
It's an entirely life-altering experience, and I have no idea where it's going to go.
02:24
But, here I am.
