For Real or Acting
Coming up to easter, I came across this clip, and thought it was worth posting again, mainly to listen to what the actor James Caviezel says about how he felt playing the role of Christ, in The Passion.

Listening to him, you see, that you have to go through the same things yourself as Christ did in order to become like him and identify with him. Its not enough to just know about him. Becoming like him, is a Way. Our crosses are in no way as heavy as the one he carried, but you can identify with him in your own circumstances, and see that he bears the weight that would crush us if we did not know him.
In the interview James Caviezel states that some of his fellow actors were 'indifferent', like all people in society. Listening to the interview again I was really struck by some of the things he saw hanging from his cross, how he dealt with it, and more importantly how he lives his life today. So many actors, just act.
