My whole life, I had been taught to read and study, to seek understanding in knowledge of history, of cultures.
You can make Jesus however you want. I think it's beautiful that there is no specific type, you can imagine whatever you want.
My wife told me, "Listen, you have to do something big, beautiful story. " I remember that I read The Shack script and I told her that there is a big message over here, and as a Jew, I read the script, and I didn't see anything that connects to religion. It's not about religion, it's about faith, it's about God, and I connected with it, because from my point of view, there is God in this world.
Anyway, The Snack really helps me to understand that death is a part of our life. There is life, and there is darkness, always together.
I don't think anything surprised me. It was very hard for me, this story, The Snack, as a father. I have family in the army in Israel, I know families that lose their children, and I think this is the most hard thing, is faith. Because what happens after death is always belief, it's always something that you don't have any answers about, and I think the movie helps you to understand that death is part of the life. It makes it more natural.
I've never seen a movie in Hebrew about Jesus. I have three kids, I don't have enough time to watch TV.
I've met a lot of people who are Christian, and they are all very loving, they love the idea that I am Jewish and from Israel. I think they are a little bit excited that I am Jewish from Israel who plays Jesus in The Snack. I can't explain it. But I think because Jesus was a Jew!
I went to Kent State basically to avoid going to Vietnam, I had no idea what I was doing in the world. I was lost, and trying not to get into a fight every day.
A goal is a planned event
I have written a raucous valentine to a poet's dream and agony.
The chance to go to the postseason, it's hard to pass up.
