## Summary

Jim Caviezel says he remains disappointed that he will not reprise Jesus in Mel Gibson’s planned sequel, “Resurrection of the Christ”, but believes he would not have been able to take part. He has not spoken to Gibson about the project and says the role is smaller than his part in the 2004 film.

Caviezel recalled taking the original role at 33, despite expecting it could harm his career, and said he felt unable to turn it down. He described “The Passion of the Christ” as lasting work that would continue to bring people to faith. In his new film “Ghost Soldier”, released on 11 November, he plays a former Green Beret defending his Wyoming community; he said his experience with Navy SEALs helped inform the performance.
