Doing the Passion of The Christ movie killed his career?


Seems like it, also probably being vocal about being a Catholic. Hollywood doesn't like that no no.

Well he did have a role on a tv show for 5 years so his career isn't entirely dead. I do wonder though if it was a case that he wasn't getting offered roles, or he wasn't taking roles he was offered? Has he ever said?

reply

Don't think he has said anything about that but he really seemed to be set to take off and have a big career in Hollywood but then he did the Passion and things went downhill from there.

reply

He did 3 films that came out in 2008 which was after Passion(not sure they were all filmed after passion). I'm just wondering if making Passion he felt that he could make movies that he wanted to instead of just taking any role that came to him.

reply

And I'm not saying that Hollywood didn't give him the boot, it's just he did have Person of Interest after Passion, so that makes me curious.

reply

Was he ever all that famous before Passion? Seemed like he was never an A-lister.

reply

I agree. Not like he sizzles with charisma.
