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."

Catholic Ping - let me know if you want on/off this list
