**I hope I never forget how poorly he treats his fellow actors.

huh?

The temperature is frigid. [...] Jim Caviezel, who plays Jesus in the new Mel Gibson film The Passion, is beyond cold. Beyond bone-tired. [...] the actor has been trussed, practically naked, to a cross in a field in southern Italy for the past 15 days.

"After my first day on the cross, I had borderline hypothermia"

huh?

Sorry you don't understand. The guy was tied practically naked to a cross in FRIGID weather for 15 days, he had borderline hypothermia, they had heaters blasting on him that burned his skin. I find that to be poor treatment of an actor.

Wouldn't it have been more sensible to do those difficult scenes in a warmer climate? Mel Gibson, as the producer, had a responsibility to see that the working conditions were better. Was it all just to save a few bucks? They could have done those outdoor scenes ANYWHERE.
