Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not sure that I would have become a Christian if I had continued to live in Hollywood because the notion wouldn't have occurred to me.
I'm not afraid to use Christ as an icon.
I was warned not to do it. Actors who play Jesus are supposed to have a hard time getting other roles to follow, but I felt this was a myth. After all, how can you be typecast as Christ?

If I wasn't an actor, I think I would be a pastor.
I grew up as a Christian. I suppose at some level I wanted to believe someone was watching over me.
