Jim Caviezel is back in action with Ghost Soldier, a new thriller that recalls the action heroes of the '80s and '90s. But why isn't he returning as Jesus in Mel Gibson's The Resurrection of the Christ? Caviezel joins Raymond Arroyo to reveal why he was heartbroken over the decision, discuss his extraordinary experiences filming The Passion of the Christ, and explain the faith behind his latest action hero. Plus, his transformation into King Herod in the upcoming biblical epic Zero A.D., his memories of Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and why Hollywood needs heroes again.
