Portraying Jesus’ disciples 2000 years after they lived

Is there a lot of pressure in portraying someone who actually lived? What about portraying someone who’s been important and iconic for 2,000 years? The answer is yes, and each of our actors in this roundtable prepare for and handle it in different ways.

I think the character of Matthew was outstanding! He literally portrayed a transformation from despised as a tax collector to someone accepted by Jesus!

[@lindabeattie5511]

I just love Matthew .... and I loved the way Jesus, after calling him said "Get used to different".... brilliant.

[@marciecorda5209]

I wish to all actors there that they INDEED WILL BECOME JESUS REAL DISCIPLES not just on the stage .

[@laurelsternberg5861]

Having read the Bible every day for over thirty years, their portrayals are so successful, I feel like I'm watching old (young) friends.

I'm still very sick Im praying to God I would appreciate it if anyone could pray for me I'm still suffering please pray for me I'm praying for everyone everyday God bless you all 🙏

Love The Chosen! Praying that the show would bring more and more lost people to Christ

What Paras did with his role! I fell in love with him when he made his first appearance. I didn't even know why! Maybe it was the depth of his eyes. The roll was so unusual. Yet he played it so authentically. It is so refreshing to see a series without a lot of blond characters. All the men are just gorgeous, but not a Hollywood gorgeous, a natural handsomeness inside and out in so many unique versions. Casting has been brilliant!

O'yeah, I forgot. When Simon called John the Baptist Creepy John I almost fell out of my chair laughing. Shalom

I really liked what "Zebedee" said, We don't know what is in us until it comes out of us. So true! What a great confirmation of what the Bible says.. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. - Matthew 12:34

[@miltongrossjunior715]

Despite they can’t find all the clues about their characters, the actors are doing great filling the lack of knowledge about their roles, being such well directed. I can’t wait to watch Season 2. 😉

5 years clean and sober by the Grace of God completely clean completely different person full of the holy spirit God still answers prayer today free from death and into a new life with jesus who is the God of all Grace hallelujah to that amen to that thank you so much for your Grace and mercy amen to that thank you amen

[@misspriss2482]

Wow! What Noah said was spot on and it is what usually brings us to Christ. Nothing else that we have tried has worked and we are desperate. When Jesus meets us where we are, we are out of ego and we have nothing left. Then we are eager to follow Him. As Christians, we have to be reminded not to rely on our own strength and get back to relying on the Lord, too.

[@anneconnors1]

I just love Andrew. Noah has really made Andrew come alive!

[@stel2985]

I love the humor the depth of the acting is so full of energy...i think the holy spirit is guiding u all..... 👏 👏 👏 👏

[@catw5294]

Yeah!!! When I clicked on this I also clicked on the Pay-It-Forward page and just cleared 7M!! I'm watching my few fish dollars turn into something far bigger and thank you to everyone else who donated so this mission can keep going farther. Praise Jesus!!!

[@thecastorclan3017]

Matthew is my FAVORITE character. Prior to this show I read Matthew with not much connection. I can’t wait to go back and read it understanding Matthew and his logical and rational mind. The humility that all of you are showing to make these characters comes alive makes them so much more human. God bless you guys and being obedient to the vision the Spirit has given you.

[@dreamalove5407]

Thank you for adding these real-life discussions with the actors along the way. I'm so excited to see how God is working through all of you to bring a greater understanding of the reality of Jesus and those He interacted with when He was here on earth. Praying for you all as you prepare for Season 2.

[@childofelohim9375]

I love the way Noah expresses himself as Andrew💗💗

[@parysethibodeau9474]

Love hearing the insights!!! I would love to see a round table with some of the other characters... Roman guards Quintus, Gaius, Marcus their sarcastic and cocky attitudes crack me up 😆

[@lenang9332]

Is nice to remember the disciples following Christ.
