The actor revealed that the opportunity to star in the biblical epic came out of left field for him. But after reading the script, he knew it was something he had to be part of. Faulkner described his role in the film as nothing short of “extraordinary.”

The 70-year-old British actor noted how different it was being part of a faith-based film compared to the secular projects he’s worked on throughout his career.

“It took me on a journey,” Faulkner said. “My wife was amazed at the difference in me. She said, ‘If only you can be like this all the time. It’s fantastic; you’re filled with a completely different spirit.”

What Faulkner was filled with, he said, was the Holy Spirit, admitting that before he began working on the film his faith wasn’t as strong as it is now.

In a previous interview with CP Jim Caviezel, who is a devout man, said he encouraged Faulkner to put himself aside and embody the role of the beloved Apostle while on set.

“I prayed for James in ‘Paul: Apostle of Christ.’ I recently read an interview where he (James) said, ‘I didn’t play Paul, He played me.’ That was my prayer for him, that he would, and he did, and he became him,” Caviezel said.
