Jonathan Roumie has become a well-known actor around the world for his role portraying Jesus Christ in the TV show The Chosen. Now in its fifth season, EWTN’s Colm Flynn sits down with Jonathan in Rome to talk about his recent meeting with Pope Leo XIV. Jonathan also opens up about the struggles of the film industry, and how—before landing the role—he was trying to make it as an actor in Los Angeles with only $20 in his pocket. He tells Colm about the moment his life changed forever, and why he says his faith in God is now what sustains him.
