James Caviezel

American actor James Patrick Caviezel has long lived in the shadow of his more eminent colleagues and played minor roles in third-rate films. However, the artist's business went uphill after participating in the film about the Second World War "The Thin Red Line". It was released in 1998 and was recognized by the National Society of Film Critics" organization of American film critics as "Best Film of the Year".

However, the real popularity of Caviezel gained thanks to the iconic role of Jesus Christ in Mel Gibson's "The Passion of christ." 2004 was the starting point in the career of the actor, after which film producers and directors began to notice his extraordinary play and ability to show himself in the frame.

Caviezel continues to star now.

James Patrick Caviezel was born on September 26, 1968, in Mount Vernon, Washington. The boy was one of five children - three sisters and a brother born to former actress Margaret and chiropractor James. The family of the future eminent actor was Catholic, which influenced the choice of James in the future. His wife Carey also belongs to this church.

Friends and parents described young James as a very active young man. As a child and a young man, he spent most of his time on the playground or in the church. The boy went there with his family every Sunday. But the real dream of the athletically gifted James was playing basketball in the NBA.

The star of the basketball team, Cavisel, was lucky enough to be at Kennedy Catholic High School, where he studied until 1987. After graduation, the boy went to Bellev college. In it, James continued to play basketball, but a serious leg injury in the second year ended the basketball career of the young man.

Shortly after failing in the sports field and graduating from college, the young Caviezel drew attention to acting lessons at the Juilliard School. He began to audition actively and in 1991 got his first role as an airline employee in The Gus Van Sant drama My Personal State of Idaho.

This picture did not bring the young actor fame, but remembered acquaintance with a celebrity - Keanu Reeves. James decided not to give up and moved to Los Angeles. In this city, in between auditions, he worked as a waiter and a model (at a height of 1.88 m weight - 71 kg). The guy agreed to even the most inconspicuous roles and eventually starred in a series of films without much success and reaction of film critics: "The Fight in Diggstown" (1992), "Wyatt Earp" (1994) and others.

The young actor continued to be invisible for a decade and even thought about quitting the game until he was called to star in Terrence Malick's "The Thin Red Line" in 1998. Thanks to the character of Private Witt in this military drama, James came to the attention of famous directors.

The following year, Ang Lee invited Caviezel to star in the sci-fi action film "The Devil's Chase." Further on the head of the artist just poured offers to star in the box office pictures: "Every Sunday" (1999), "Radio wave" (2000) and "Eye of the Angel" (2001). In the last film, James starred with the public favorite Jennifer Lopez, who discovered the actor's talent leader on the set.

In 2002, the adventure drama "The Count of Monte Cristo" was released, in which Caviezel was able to demonstrate how diverse an actor he can be. James defended his religious beliefs during the filming of the thriller "Serious Crimes" in 2002. Caviezel refused to star in love scenes with partner Ashley Judd because they contradicted the artist's faith in God.

In 2004, Mel Gibson, who looked after Caviezel as Jesus Christ in the drama "The Passion of Christ," drew attention to the actor. According to Gibson, part of the director was attracted to James's glorified "angelic" blue eyes.

This role becomes symbolic for the artist. First, Jesus Christ Caviezel played when he was 33 years old, as well as a hero. Second, james Caviezel's initials (J.C.) match the character's initials, Jesus Christ.

The film opens the creative personality's way into the great cinema. In 2006, James stars as Morgan Freeman in the sci-fi thriller Deja Vu, and in 2008 he gets a role in the film Vikings vs. Aliens. In 2011, Caviezel became the lead actor in the CBS crime series "In Sight."

James Caviezel met his wife, literature teacher Carrie Broitt, in 1993 during a blind date. The meeting was arranged by the sister of the talented actor Amy. Young people came together on the basis of common interests: Catholic faith and love of basketball. For three years, James and Carey dated and looked out for each other until they exchanged rings and pledges of allegiance in 1996.

Since then, the couple has not separated and today brings up three adopted children from China. The couple initially adopted a girl, Leanne Elizabeth (16), and subsequently decided to adopt two other boys, Beau (18) and David (7). Both were diagnosed with a brain tumor. Asked by reporters if the husband and wife were afraid to adopt children with diseases, James replied:

And speaking about the secret of longevity of the relationship with his wife, the actor once admitted that it is the ability to compromise and ask for forgiveness in time.
