“Jesus is the only character who I would hope to stay in character as all the time,” Jonathan Roumie, the actor who plays Jesus Christ in “The Chosen,” said.
Jonathan Roumie, the forty-nine-year-old actor who plays Jesus Christ in “The Chosen,” a popular crowdfunded TV series about the New Testament’s protagonist, ascended the steps of St. Patrick’s Cathedral for noon Mass. Before he could make it through the sanctuary’s nine-ton bronze doors, he was spotted by fans. “We just want a picture with Jesus!” one woman said.
Born in Hell’s Kitchen—God has a sense of humor—and baptized Greek Orthodox, Roumie and his family began attending a Catholic church after moving to the suburbs. His faith deepened in May, 2018, following an incident that has become gospel to his fans. After two decades struggling in the industry , Roumie was broke. He fell to his knees in his tiny apartment, surrendered to God, and had a mystical experience.
He ordered the Skyscraper Deluxe, essentially a cheeseburger topped with pastrami, but he asked for lettuce instead of a bun. After saying grace, he tackled the sandwich, relieved that his fellow-diners were leaving him be. “I never wanted to lose my anonymity,” he said. “God had other plans.”
