Jim Caviezel: "Passion of the Christ" ødelagde min karriere

Mel Gibson har brug for hjælp.

Jim Caviezel (The Thin Red Line, Frequency), der er en stærkt troende katolik, holdt for nylig en tale i First Baptist Church i Orlando, hvor han fortalte, at han blev afvist af Hollywood efter at have spillet Jesus i Mel Gibsons "The Passion of the Christ".

"You'll never work in this town again," advarede Gibson ham inden optagelserne. "We all have to embrace our crosses," svarede Caviezel. "We have to give up our names, our reputations, our lives to speak the truth."

Skuespillere som Willem Dafoe (The Last Temptation of Christ), Max von Sydow (The Greatest Story Ever Told) og Jeffrey Hunter (King of Kings) vil dog formentlig ikke være enige med Caviezels udtalelser, da deres karrierer ikke led under at spille Jesus.

Samtidig havde Caviezel knap så pæne ord at sige om Gibson.

"Mel Gibson, he's a horrible sinner, isn't he? Mel Gibson doesn't need your judgment, he needs your prayers."
