Portraying Jesus ‘connects me to Christ’ he says, adding that giving his pro-life speech last month ‘was the right thing for me to do.’

Catholic actor Jonathan Roumie is trading in a tunic and sandals for bell bottoms and flare-sleeved tops as he takes on a new role in the upcoming film Jesus Revolution. Well-known for his role portraying Jesus in the hit series The Chosen, Roumie will be playing hippie street-preacher Lonnie Frisbee.

The true story takes place in Southern California at the height of the hippie counterculture in the early 1970s. The movie shows the national spiritual awakening that took place during this time and how a community of teenage hippies came to encounter Christ. The film will be released on Feb. 24.

CNA spoke with Roumie to discuss his upcoming role in Jesus Revolution, the Season Three finale of The Chosen, faith the March for Life, and the latest “Pray40 Challenge” he will be taking part in on the Hallow app this Lent.
