Jim Caviezel va muy contra corriente
Uno de los casos más admirables de todos cuantos hemos traído a este blog. Manifestar ideas políticas situadas del centro hacia la derecha y actuar en consecuencia es decisión complicada para un actor. Si además se defiende la fe católica, lo es más. Y si además se trata de un joven actor en pleno nacimiento de su carrera, merece más que nadie el calificativo de contracorriente. Es el caso de Jim Caviezel. Este actor nacido en Washington en 1968 iba para jugador de la NBA, pero las lesiones le hicieron cambiar de vocación, y en el año 1991 hacía su debut cinematográfico en "My Idaho privado". Le siguieron "Waytt Earp", "La teniente O'Neil", "La Roca" y "La delgada línea roja" o "Frequency", coprotagonizada con Dennis Quaid. Y así en el año 2004 Mel Gibson le daba la oportunidad de su vida interpretando a Jesús en "La Pasión de Cristo". El furibundo y absurdo ataque de gran parte de la extrema izquierda mundial no consiguieron mitigar el arrollador éxito de la que es una de las más conmovedoras películas de la historia, en la que Caviezel llega a resultar el vivo e indistinguible retrato de Jesús de Nazareth, en un papel al que se entregó por completo incluso con riesgo para su salud. Jim ha continuado trabando en títulos como "Deja Vu", y forma parte del reducido y vilipendiado grupo de actores que ha defendido causas pro-vida o apoyado al centro-derecha político estadounidense.
On October 24, 2006, Caviezel was featured (along with Patricia Heaton, Kurt Warner, and Mike Sweeney) in an advertisement opposing Missouri Amendment 2 (to provide state funds for somatic cell nuclear transfer, the scientific term for cloning). While non-partisan, the advertisement was widely seen as supporting the Republican Party position on the issue. Caviezel began the advertisement by saying "Le-bar nash be-neshak", Aramaic for "You betray the Son of Man with a kiss," a reference to Judas' betraying Christ and a phrase used in the Greek of Luke's Gospel.[5] The line however, did not include a translation into English. Caviezel closed the commercial with the line, "You know now. Don't do it," referring to the voting in favor of the amendment. [...]
Caviezel donated $2,100 in 2006 to the unsuccessful campaign to re-elect US Senator Rick Santorum.[6]

Caviezel on 9-11
"These terrorists, they wanted to decimate the American spirit not only by taking thousands of lives, but by destroying symbols of military and economic strength. But instead of demoralizing our country, it rejuvenated our spirit of being American. We are one people, and we will rebuild--financially, emotionally and, more importantly than ever, spiritually."
