99 Days of POI | Day 97 - Favorite Quote
We’re gearing up for the Madison Regatta! Here are some interviews from Jim Caviezel and the director about the film Madison that profiles the 1971 Regatta race.
Here, Jim Caviezel is on The View discussing why the film was delayed in its release and what eventually got it into theaters. He begins discussing the movie at the 4:25 mark.
Some more pictures from Cannes 2004. Jim looks so tanned, strong and healthy in these pix. I’m a bit worried for him when I look at the last photos posted on tumblr. He really seems to be in need of some pasta (as savhcaro said) and good home cooking!
Ok, as I read on another post I know I’m a day behind but I really wanted to participate. I think it will be fun to do this until the 3rd season premieres and maybe it will help with the withdrawal I am experiencing.
So… Day 99: Favorite Character
John Reese. Absolutely. I mean, all four main characters are awesome in their own way but I really like this kind of character. Since the beginning of the show John has evolved from a “suicidal/revengeful” person to a “caring/protective/goal oriented” kind of person (although he wouldn’t hesitate to risk his life for strangers and mainly for his friends). He knows he had done many horrible things in the past but he wants to be good after all and helping people in danger may help him reach the redemption he is looking for. I think that all the things that had happened in his past molded his “dark” & strong soul but there’s still kindness and love inside of him; sometimes we are lucky and we get the chance to watch some of that in little special scenes during an episode. This is always welcomed in my opinion, because as good as it is to see him doing lots of badass things around NY its still important to remember that he is human with weaknesses and all. That he particularly cares more about children, war veterans and women says a lot about him too. I love the way in which he interacts with the numbers especially with the ones before the Kara’s incident. I hope that in season 3 we see him more connected with them because that’s the way we get details (hopefully more flashbacks of his CIA mission days) that help us understand his decisions in a better way.
I think that Jim Caviezel was an excellent casting choice from the creators. His voice is just perfect for the character and he portrays him flawlessly.
An older article but I think it’s nevertheless worth being posted. I really hold Jim in veneration for his attitude which – as far as I know – didn’t change till this day.
CAVIEZEL TURNS DOWN MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR PAYDAY
May 26, 2004
Movie star Jim Caviezel has turned down the chance to become a multi-millionaire by starring in a series of TV commercials — because he wants to stay true to his strict Catholic beliefs.
The actor has become hot property since starring as Jesus in Mel Gibson’s epic “The Passion of the Christ,” but the 35-year-old has turned down a series of deals — worth an estimated $75 million.
He says, “I think if I had given way on just one scheme, I would have been tempted to do more. It would have been the easiest thing in the world to make that kind of money quickly.
“That sum would secure your future, but I would never be able to forgive myself.”
Among the deals Caviezel turned down was one for a T-shirt company’s new “Heavenly” line of apparel.
He adds, “I could see the humor in it … but I think I would have upset a lot of people who got something special from the film.”
