For those liberals who don't recognize it, this is called "character".

I'm sure I'll be excoriated for this view, but I think Caviezel should have taken the money and donated it to causes that he believes in. Think of the good that he could do with 70+ million dollars. He could end hunger for an entire city's worth of people. I remember thinking this when the Calvin & Hobbes creator turned down what would have been over $100 million for licensing his creations. Think of the good that one could do for that money. I'm not saying they were wrong for making the decision that they made... but if I were in the position where I had the opportunity to make many millions of dollars off of a creation I made, my moral dilemma would be what to do with the money, not whether or not to take it.

I don't think he was morally obligated to reject these offers if they were similar to the one included in the article, but his decision shows great piety, and is probably a wise decision, even if he had decided to donate the proceeds to charity.

In an interview with EWTN, Caviezel was asked if he worried that speaking out with such "audacity" about his faith might antagonize the powers that be in Hollywood and the media, and possibly prevent him from rising to superstar status. The soft-spoken actor answered with more audacity.
"I’m here for a reason," Caviezel said, "to express, to preach to the nation that this is God — this is who our God is, Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And for saying that, yeah, it could be death, but ‘to live is Christ and to die is gain.’ [Philippians 1:21]
You know, at worst, you die a martyr or you lose your career. Then I lose the career. Then that’s the way it’s supposed to be. I’m not going to do one more film than I’m supposed to do."

The devils road is a broad and easy road to follow until the end but the Lords' road is narrow and difficult to travel but its' end is far better.

What a minute! The guy isn't really Jesus, he just played him in a movie. He's an actor, he ACTS for a living. Jim, you're an actor. It's okay to make money, it isn't evil or a substandard approach to life. Good grief!! The only way this would be a great moral achievement is if making money were evil.
