    It broke my heart that he admitted he wasn't a Christian, and I'm compelled to pray for him. I truly want him to know life with Jesus. I can't even imagine my life without Jesus, now that He is my everything. I lived my life my way, and nothing compares to the abundance of Life I have, after giving my life to Jesus. God bless Kirk. Keep showing Yourself to him, I think he wants to know You.

      I have 3 theories about Gaius... which one is most likely?
      1) Gaius is going to be the "first christian", the centurion who comes to jesus and requests healing for his servant.
      2) Gaius is the centurion who stabs jesus on the cross (to end the pain), and water come out and he recognises him as the messiah
      3) Gaius is the biblical character Gaius who accompanies St. Paul (in Acts).. the first generation of missionaries/evangelists
      OR it might be all 3 together, the same character

    In the scene in episode 7 where Matthew responds to Jesus’ call to follow him, most of the attention has been given to Paras’ acting (for good reason), but I’m always impressed by Kirk’s acting in that scene as well. His reactions to Matthew’s actions seems so real and natural. Gaius looks dumb-founded that Matthew is going to throw away all the financial and material benefits of working for Rome for a reason he can’t even begin to understand.

    • @Carolannsegraves
      @Carolannsegraves ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Just awesome acting..., just to genuinely appear to be sending Jesus away to leave Matthew alone..., then hearing, behind himself, Matthew leaving his booth and coming out the door behind himself (Gaius), and ABRUPTLY switching his attention to CATCHING Matthew, trying to reason with him, because he CANNOT understand WHY Matthew would just DROP EVERYTHING he's attained and just "throw his life away!" Great acting! So believably realistic! Even though you're acting, you seemed to be genuinely shocked! You are endearing!

Really hoping he shows up in future seasons and that he does end up becoming the centurion with so much faith from Matthew 8. So much faith that even Jesus could hardly believe it! : D Such an interesting and complex character : )

    In this interview you can see Kirk's heart. I see exactly what Dallas and Amanda mean when they say that he's more Christian than a lot of Christians that they know. He's one of those rare people who lives his life by what his heart tells him to do. I would love to see another interview with him discussing the changes in Gaius in season 2. I really want to know what Gaius thinks of Atticus. No one seems to understand what Atticus is up to with his snooping on Jesus and I want to know what Gaius thinks is going on and how Kirk is interpreting that.

    Thank you for the wonderful interview with actor Kirk B. R. Woller. His character portrayal as Gaius in the Chosen fascinated me from the beginning. But I didn't know anything about Kirk B. R. Woller as a person, so I am extremely grateful for his statement about his work and his feelings. I must express my deep admiration to him for speaking so openly about his inner feelings and sharing them with us the viewers. He is truly a wonderful, brilliant actor and a lovely and kind man to whom I must pay my respects.
    The Chosen is, for me, one of the most impressive series I've ever seen. You talk in this interview that at the time, of the interview, about 50 million people have seen the show. How tremendous it is, and what a deserved success it is, that now in 2023 it is reported in the media that in the meantime the number of viewers has risen to about 500 million or even more worldwide. Unnamed and hidden remains the number of viewers whose lives have been changed for the better by "The Chosen". I am one of those viewers.
    Thank you again and God bless you all. ❤🙏🙏🙏

The relationship between Matthew and Gaius is one of my favorites, having a son much like Matthew's character. Nicodemus is also a favorite and Erik Avari is masterful. It is always a heart wrenching moment when Nicodemus stays behind when he wants to go with Jesus. I do cry every time. Also when he kneels before the Savior and kisses his hand and says Kiss the son....OMGOSH! Thank you for this series and I plan to get it for all my kids...all six of them. God Bless.

I know there is a person in the bible with that name but wasn't sure if that is who is in the Chosen or if the name was a coincidence. I also get choked up rewatching episodes and I've watched it several times. I always see something different each time. I can't wait for new episodes and I already mourn the end of the show. I'm hoping for spinoffs!

(it depends how you see the geographical data about them). Consult a good Bible dictionary or encyclopedia for more info.

    I am loving this channel! Just started watching last night & I was so excited when I seen the recommendation for interviews with the chosen cast. I absolutely love the chosen & can not wait for season 2 but getting to see this side of the actors has been truly amazing.
    I love his relationship with Matthew his character shows that not all Roman's was violent & had no heart. You can see the bond that could have been formed from that time in history between the Roman & the jesus followers. He plays his role very well cant wait to see him in season 2 😊

    Thank you for this opportunity to hear Kirk and learn more about him as a man and as an actor. His portrayal of Gaius, along with the emotional connection between Gaius and Matthew that Kirk and Paras provide, are excellent. Kirk's transparency and honesty in this interview are refreshing in light of what we see from much of Hollywood ... but not surprisingly are in keeping with what the other actors on The Chosen have also shared in such interviews.
    I found it surprising that Kirk is not a professing Christian. Even though I don't know him personally, I recognize through what I have seen of him, and heard from Dallas about him, an authentic reflection of the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Without being a Christian and having the Holy Spirit indwell him, it seems that Kirk chooses to live out the fruit of the Spirit anyway. In him, and through his words,
    I discern love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. These are the qualities that God the Holy Spirit develops within us (Galatians 5:22-23). As Christians, it is our choice to represent His fruit in our interactions with others. It is our choice to represent Christ Jesus in this world. Evidently, Kirk chooses to live that way, even without being a professing Christian. I can understand why Amanda would tell Kirk that he is more Christian/Christ-like than many others who profess to be.
    The power, peace and guidance of the Holy Spirit in every aspect of The Chosen is evident to those who are followers of Jesus. Kirk, and each of The Chosen actors who have been interviewed for Chosen-related release, have spoken of the difference they feel on this set compared to other sets they have worked on in their careers. They speak of kindness, humility, personal and professional integrity, cheerfulness, camaraderie, the feeling of caring teamwork while working hard together for success of a project of integrity that is affecting the world for good. They find a peace pervading it all, even in the most challenging times on set.
    Whether they recognize and proclaim it to be the power of God through the peace of the Holy Spirit, or not, that is the truth of why The Chosen set and people interactions are different from other sets. Dallas and Amanda (and multitudes of others) asked the heavenly Father to be sovereign in this project and place. Many of the writers, cast, crew, direction & production teams have humbly emptied themselves and asked Jesus to fill them with His attributes and power to perform their jobs in a way that lifts Him high, glorifies Him and draws others to His saving grace. God hears every prayer and He is faithful. He will do and has done that for those who have asked him to be overseer of every aspect of The Chosen. And THAT ... the fact that the very presence of the living and loving God is moving in and through those who trust Him and have made themselves available and open for Him to work through them, is the reason why this project is different in every way from projects developed through secular-minded writers, directors, cast and crew members.
    Kirk mentioned that his belief of why The Chosen is so special is the result of choosing good people ... not just good actors who are skilled, but good people in personal character. That is true, and also the result of Dallas, Amanda and many of the production team having surrendered this project, as well as themselves and their choices, to God in His guidance and wisdom, and in their choice to follow His faithfulness to lead them in the right and best direction concerning it all.
    It would be an honor to actually have a discussion with Kirk and hear more about him. In lieu of that being possible, I am thankful that Noah, Darren and Kirk gave generously to us of their time and their transparency in discussion, which made possible for us to have this opportunity. Great interview!!! Thank you all.

    It is difficult to watch this without wanting to cry. Kirk does such a great job. Am really loving how his character is progressing now that we are at the end of S2. So many are seeing ourselves in the various character. All amazing, talented and gifted.
    I'm so moved by TC and all those who are working on it. Totally blessed.
    Wish I could more to help. Volunteering would be a blessing. Keeping them in prayer. Thank you for doing this interview.

    So glad Kirk nipped the "cheap trick"/"first date" questions in the bud ("What is your favorite color?") by saying he likes all the colors lol. (As an artist, I can relate. I like them all & resent being forced to pick one 😝)

  • @veronicabrokaw-wm1nm

    Watching Kirk as Gaius is emotional. To see the Roman soften and see when his mind is spinning because of the things Jesus does,, I just pray that for Kirk this will make his own heart turn so he will seek Jesus as his own Savior. We know that God's timing is different than our own -"soon" is such a difficult thing. ❤

  • @faireplaymedia7622
    @faireplaymedia7622 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    What you and Kirk are describing is the love principle of Christianity. People who truly follow Jesus Christ exude love for other people.“They will know us by our love“
    Jesus said, “By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another” (John 13:35.)

    I love the scene where Gias tells Mathew to go home after he’s been roughed up and he admires Mathew for sticking to his job saying that Mathew must’ve had Roman blood it’s such a really father son scene with Mathew and Gias and shows just how similar circumstances those two have
