Another person added, “Love this series so much and can understand why it appeals to so many! May God be glorified!”

Roumie told Fox News his role was “ordained” for him since he was 11 years old when he built a cross after watching the 1977 miniseries “Jesus of Nazareth.”

The 48-year-old actor starred as street preacher Lonnie Frisbee in the “Jesus Revolution” film.
