Bruce Marchiano
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bruce Marchiano is an American actor and author, best known for his portrayals of Jesus Christ in the Visual Bible film series.
Marchiano began acting at the age of 13 when he had a small role in a school play. Acting soon became his career. Before his roles as Jesus he was often cast as a villian. He joked that Jesus was the first nice guy he ever played.
Although he grew up in a strong Catholic home, Marchiano does not believe he became a Christian until much later in life.
He currently runs Marchiano Ministries, a non-profit ministry based out of North Hollywood, California.
He is also developing a word-for-word film adaptation of "The Gospel According to John."

[edit] Quotes
"I once separated myself for a time of seeking God, asking, 'What is my purpose, Father?' He revealed to me, 'Your purpose, the purpose for which I birthed you, is to share My Son with My people. To take advantage of every opportunity I place before you whether it be film, print, personal appearance... and give My people Jesus."
