Roumie—a devout Catholic from New York City—sees his work portraying Jesus on the hit Bible-based series "The Chosen" as ministry, he told CBN News. The 49-year-old actor made the comment during a brief interview from the Four Seasons Hotel at Beverly Hills in Los Angeles.

He was relaxed but engaged, composing himself after learning seconds earlier his image—dressed in first-century clothing, of course—is one of the top results that appear in a Google search for "Jesus."

It's no surprise Roumie's face has, for many, become inextricably linked to their perception of their Savior—a complex phenomenon no doubt weighing heavily on the celebrity's mind. But with a series that has been streamed more than 500 million times, the correlation was bound to happen.

Snapped back to reality, where he was wearing a velvet fedora and blazer adorned with leopard spots, Roumie said it's "completely humbling to be even in the same sentence as Jesus."

"But He kind of put me here," Roumie said after exhaling his emotion. "So I can't shy away from the association completely. There is, for me, a sense of mission about what I'm doing and it happens to be in the form of entertainment. And that's the gifts that I was equipped with by God, I believe."

"I'm just kind of following where He's leading me"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
