Actor Jonathan Roumie opened up about the grueling process of filming the crucifixion for Season 6 of "The Chosen," at this year's ChosenCon, revealing how stepping into the footsteps of Jesus during his final hours has left a permanent mark on his life and faith.
"It was a one-of-a-kind experience," Roumie told Fox News Digital at the fan event in Charlotte, North Carolina, this month. "It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life — both professionally and personally as a human being."
For Roumie, a devout Catholic, portraying these moments took a heavy physical, emotional and spiritual toll.
"I spent a lot of time asking the Lord to show me what he wanted people to see and what he wanted them to experience and if it was at all possible for me to try to experience a fraction of a fraction of what he went through," Roumie said. "I was willing to offer myself in that way, and he gave me some really challenging experiences on set, physically and emotionally."
On the first day of filming, Roumie suffered a painful shoulder injury after a fall.
"Oh, that's the shoulder I'm going to be carrying the cross on. OK, you got my message," Roumie quipped during a conversation with Rev. Mike Schmitz at ChosenCon.
Another scene resulted in a head injury that left "cervical issues" for months afterward, he said.
Roumie explained how he offered up this pain to God and prayed it would touch others and be used for God's glory.

I remember watching one of his interviews about his experiences, both physical and spiritual. What strikes me about his story and listening to some of the stories from the director of The Chosen-a lot of non-believer crewmembers turned to Christ. Some during filming and some after. Truly remarkable.
Season #6 probably this time next
Year for Release of the DVD.
.
I feel your pain John.
Their are some very important things in
This Series but Johnathan personal choice Should be Down played.
It was told from the perspective of the Roman Tribune and started at the day of the cruxifiction of Yeshua.
Was he expecting it not to be? Any believer playing any important role in a play about Jesus would have similar experience if truly involved and cared about what they were doing. God would reward them with such an overwhelming spiritually intense experience, its part of His growing us.
“A day without death.”
This is the guy who practices grave soaking.
I think these movies are breaking the second commandment.
Playing dice with the giods requires a completely purified heart.
We cannot live in that world until we die.
