Please do not compare the NEW Phillip's performance from Yoshi. Everyone is unique. It is hard to hear that "he did not bring anything to the role". How about giving him s chance?
@blazinjedi2008 I felt both had an impact. This show , and yes it's a show, has characters that we are paying very close attention to, being they are based on real people that are so important to our lives. Switching actors hurts the show, I I wish they'd work a bit harder to keep the crew through out.
To be fair, they really didn’t give the new Phillip much to do this season. So, give him a chance. I personally feel that the casting for The Chosen is devinely inspired ❤️
So basically after watching this video despite the title, we end up nowhere nearer actually knowing why he left! Its just either "I don't know" or "I don't THINK thats why" he left
He lived like a "hippie"; like a rogue. This is certainly one of the nuances Yoshi brought to the the that Reza does not really portray. In my view, he does not even look like one who would have lived that way. --- Miss Yoshi.! ___________________ Glad for Reza's acting performance.!!
I loved the way he portrayed Phillip and didn't care for the explanation we got as to why he left. He was my favorite discipline because he had a gentle helpful nature and reached out to help Matthew with such sweetness He also reached out to others in the show and saved his friend, Nathaniel at a very dark time. He has shown the most maturity of all the disciples and I'm sure it came from his time with John the Baptist.
The Chosen is not about the people portraying the characters or their next big role. It’s about spreading the message of Jesus. Full stop. Until this video shined a light on it, I didn’t even notice the characters had changed. It’s not important. The message is.
I started out loving Andrew as one of my fav disciples...HOWEVER, it was Phillip tho that got my attention! He was so kind to Matthew...understanding etc. It was even better when he got hold of his friend Nathan and brought him to Jesus.
*Larry Burkett's book on "Giving and Tithing" drew me closer to God and helped my spirituality. 2020 was a year I literally lived it. I cashed in my life savings and gave it all away. My total giving amounted to 40,000 dollars. Everyone thought I was delusional. Today, 1 receive 85,000 dollars every two months. I have a property in Calabasas, CA, and travel a lot. God has promoted me more than once and opened doors for me to live beyond my dreams. God kept to his promises to and for me*
It is the digital market. That's been the secret to this wealth transfer. A lot of folks in the US and abroad are getting so much from it, God has been good to my household Thank you Jesus
this is not aacurate, close to Season 3 ended, they announced he would not be longer with this project.... they do not need to give explannations about anything, please just focus that the name of Jesus would get to all instead of comparing actors...
Yes, Yoshi brought a huge personality to Philip. I loved how Yoshi was able to match the bravado of Simon... With his wit and accepting charm. I love the scene where Philip tells Matthew what to say when Simon was riding him. Yoshi was just a perfect balance for the other disciples personalities. Hopefully Reza will rise to the occasion when called upon. There is a potential scene where Philip is miraculously transported... This could be his breakthrough scene.🙏🙏🙏❤
Everyone always forgets that actors ACT differently on screen than they're like in person. Just because someone oozes compassion and warmth on-screen doesn't mean they really are that way, we don't know what's happening behind the scenes.
@@FaithfulHorrorhound it’s good to know that Jesus loves you, I only said that comment to spread God’s love. I’m sure you know that Jesus loves you but it’s good to hear it from others as well to always be reminded
The problem is the new actor does not do justice to the role of Phillip. Yoshi had a magical, loveable presence on the screen. He made the character of Phillip really come to life in a way that never occurred to me before.
He hasn’t had time to develop the character- focus isn’t on what Phillip is going at this time. I applaud him being willing to take this challenge on, you’ve got to realize it isn’t easy…. Give him a break and some time! 🤨
I just wish we had gotten an explanation as to why Yoshi left because that would have helped us all to understand and accept the new person playing Phillip. I wouldn't want to be the replacement of such a beloved character. Reza has a hard job to fill Yoshi's shoes and I hope he succeeds! 4:26
@@mersearuane9553 - He hasn't had time to develop the character????? The character was already developed by Yoshi, and all Reza had to do was act the part like Yoshi did. Add to that the fact that Reza is a professional actor. He should get it right the first time.....guaranteed his performance will not change. But it is only partially his fault. Dallas cast him, and directs him, so Dallas is to blame as well.
What I notice is that Phillip just wasn't given many lines and didn't have a chance to shine. I expected the writers to include him more to let the fans get to know him, and it didn't happen. After Yoshi's personality, I don't think we can expect anyone to play him the same. Let's give Reza a chance!
They play Phillip differently Yoshi’s Phillip was very charismatic and Reza’s Philip is very quite and introspective. It different but we will still see God.
I liked Yoshi, but Reza has been put in an impossible situation that is being made worse by certain fans piling onto him. It seems to me that the writers and showrunners have chosen to script Reza as the "new guy", which is definitely out of place for a character who was a long time-disciple of John the Baptist. That's not Reza's fault, though. Additionally, if he had tried to act exactly like Yoshi, certain vocal fans would be saying "Who does this guy think he is?" and treat him as an impostor, but if he had tried to act differently and make the part his own, many of the same fans would berate him for coopting and changing the role. It's lose-lose for the guy.
@ByOurLove That's because Philip is not a main character in the story arcs at this time. We expect grace and mercy ... let us do unto others as we would have done unto us.
thats an understatement!!! The new guy has no personality. You cant act personality and likability. Yoshi's Phillip was full of charm and fun and caring. This guy presents as a villain.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the most important thing. To keep mourning his departure is idolatry. This is the risk of spreading the Gospel without completely focusing on Jesus Christ.
Maybe that's why God might have let it happen... God saw it before how it would turn out. Yoshi had a chance, he played it too well, almost in par with Jonathan, which might be an idolatry kind of distraction.
@@anamata461 Well, yes... as it should be... but people tend to idolize nowadays, maybe that's why God wanted his people to realise that maybe? by this actor to leaving the show. I am just trying to come in terms with God, wanting us to focus Bible through the lens the Chosen shows us.
You don’t follow the nicene creed like most Christian’s do you? Maybe it’s not mourning his absence, but patiently (sometimes impatiently) his second coming.
I really appreciate Yoshi’s Phillip. His eyes sparked spirit. I hope all the best for both and respect both. Not good to pit one against another. Be the change
We should remember that this cast has had years to get to know each other, help each other, trust each other and have the kind of character development they do. Reza gets thrown in the deep end and is expected to do something that takes years to develop, and I personally thought he did it brilliantly. Well done and welcome to the chosen family, Reza. I'm excited to see what you will bring to the role.
To be fair they didn’t exactly give the new actor much to do. He had a few lines that could just as easily been given to any of the other disciples. Hopefully in time they will give him more of a spotlight and we can see him shine.
I'm guessing there was probably some sort of conflict. If Dallas doesn't have anything nice to say, he doesn't say anything at all. And he hasn't said much on this issue. I'll put it that way
Like many others I love Yoshi he was super natural fitted the role of Philip so well. Reza is different but everyone is different. We need time to adjust to the change and give him a chance. Is never easy to fit in someone’s shoes.
When getting to know 12 dark haired black bearded men, their distinctive features set them apart after seeing them enough. Yoshi was easily set apart. I just finished season 4 and had no idea the new Philip wasn't just a random follower. I remember a scene when he spoke up and I had no idea who he was and wondered if I had missed something.
The Chosen series is there to tell people of Christ, and His life. This series shares salvation, God's love, and redemption. We SHOULD be focusing on all of the lives that this series has touched, rather than gossiping about these side issues, and greasing the rumor mill. I'm sure that there are personal issues associated with the change, making it an unnecessary issue to discuss publicly. Being a fan of the show doesn't automaticaly mean that everything has to be privvy for discussion. Instead, let's pray for Yoshi. Let's pray for each and every actor and actress that is involved and for those new faces that we may see as The Chosen approaches its Season 5 completion, as well as up and coming seasons 6 and 7. Prayer is truly more fruitful than giving attention to things that are happening BTS. If it's a "need to know," I'm sure that Dallas, or the actors themselves, will share it with the public if it becomes necessary.
Well the Chosen has had 3 big James, and no one said anything as to why they were changed! As far as I'm concerned, each actor brings their own flair to the character...and none of these guys are at all what I've ever pictured from scripture! Lol! But then we really have nothing to compare...and I'm pretty sure Matthew wasn't autistic, but its kinda kool to watch Paras play him that way! They have also put mother Mary in a lot more of the show than scripture ever did...but it's fun to picture how Jesus and His mom might've interacted...but probably not! So there are many, many character aspects not found anywhere in scripture that are depicted in the series. It just keeps us on our toes to not get fact and fiction mixed up!❤😊
So you made a video to say absolutely nothing useful and then titled it with a question we all would like to answered clearly. This feels like bot activity
i liked him till he was yelling f ya from a stage twice to all the people around. I thought that is terrible and I'm sure that's what he had to go. We need Christians or respectful people in the roles.
If we are watching The Chosen for the spritual truths that God has chosen to reveal thru the show, then won't those truths will shine through all the cast, even new members? God's Truth can withstand cast changes just as it shines despite historical inaccuracies. If we truly believe that everything works to the good for those who love Him (God), can we be open minded that there are good things in store for Yoshi and for the show with Reza? I wish all involved well. Thank you, Yoshi, for sharing your talents with us in your portrayal of Philip, esp. his unjudging kindness to Matthew. May your next chapter be blessed & guided by the Lord. Good luck, Reza. May you draw divine inspiration to portray Philip in a way that enlightens people, as well as grace to withstand the challenging period while people prejudge you in the role.
It's a TV show. I recommend getting Spiritual Truths from Scripture, not a dramatization with added content. It's dangerous to look to a modern dramatization for God's Truth.
I enjoyed Yoshi but, in truth, the disciples are secondary to Jesus and Yoshi’s “personality” is not supposed to be one of the primary people in the Chosen. The outrage at Jesus not raising Ramah shows that people want to see “fun” characters rather than see the Biblical Truth on the screen. Quit watching The Chosen if you’re solely wanting to be entertained and to not have anything bad happen to your favorite characters. Like is tough and the Bible is Truth for life.
Ramah dying and Jesus not saving her and the while scene is unbiblical. The chosen is supposed to add secondary stories to the gospel, not change the whole gospel with events so significant that would surely have been included in the gospels. Is Dallas sure Jesus would have reacted this way? If not, he shouldn't have added this. Keep the fictional stories to the secondary characters, or else it becomes a heresy.
This new actor is much better as Phillip, much more humble. The original Phillip was too much, "hey, look at me!' trying to steal every scene he was in So, Dallas had no choice but to shit can his primadona ass
Keep your comparison for yourself. Many of fans loved Yoshi he was perfect for the roll. Who are you to judge him or compare him to another? Did you go to university to learn how to do this job. You are just another one who does TH-cam videos with lots of bla bla bla talk to make money.
It's okay to judge and compare the actors' performances because The Chosen is first and foremost a TV show. Yoshi brought Philip to life. So far Reza has not. His performance is not just toned down in comparison to Yoshi's; it's expressionless and bland. Unless Reza changes his acting style, which is unlikely, it is what it is. Not sure what was seen during the audition but It's giving last minute hasty hire.
Unfortunately Dallas hasn’t been giving the new Philip the same screen time as the old one, and we’ve had 2 Seasons to get to know Yoshi, where the new guy has barely spoken. He’s a big guy, deep voice, very handsome, I believe that given a chance, and some solo time on screen, that we will come to love him like the former, maybe even more!
I don’t think people are being fair, either. To date, Reza has not been given the opportunity to show us what he can do or is capable of. He doesn’t write the scripts, and therefore can’t give himself on-screen lines.
I liked Yoshi better. I didn't even know who the new guy was, until I came across this video. I did notice the new guy, but noticed he was boring. Yoshi was not boring at all & I really enjoyed him in the role of Phillip. Buy don't really have a choice but to give Reza a chance, since I have no control or say in what happens in that show. :D
I loved Yoshi as Phillip he was my favorite character however I do not think the new Phillip lacks personality, I think you are just comparing him with Yoshi because you love Yoshi when he has not been giving enough scenes, I don't think you will change your mind you have already decided, as much as I miss Yoshi it does not matter to me who plays any of the apostles, they changed big James 3 times AND THE SHOW JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER so I will let Dallas and the actors make their own choices.
I don't think it is hard to replace any actor as long as they do great acting Philip was the most experienced of the disciples and first known evangelist in the bible
Comparing one actor to another in the same role is fair. People do it all the times, e.g. actors playing Hamlet, Romeo, etc. The comparisons aren't personal, they're about a skill.
I’m not being critical of Reza but Yoshi has the personality to fulfill the Biblical acts of the Apostle Phillip. That said, it remains to be seen if Reza can fill those Texas-sized shoes left by Yoshi’s portrayal of Phillip.
Tell your video watchers to watch their subscriptions I was unsubscribed and just noticed when notified about this episode. Good luck and thank you for great videos!!
I didn’t give it a second thought. The actors isn’t what I’m watching the show for. Don’t get me wrong they are all fantastic but as long as they portray the story in a way that moves me I really don’t care. I’m surprised people are even saying anything about it

I think comparison is inevitable but you are right in that we should give him more time
So basically after watching this video despite the title, we end up nowhere nearer actually knowing why he left!
Its just either "I don't know" or "I don't THINK thats why" he left
Thanks for saving me the time
He left because he had work on another film he had to attend to
I loved the original Philip! He had a cool, laid back, hippy vibe. Hanging loose with JtB, in the wilderness, preparing the people for Jesus.
You described him perfectly!
He was just lovely!
I really connected with the original Phillip. Good luck and many blessings Yoshi I know we’ll hear from you soon…❤😀
Yes definitely a hippie vibe!!!! I will miss him
He lived like a "hippie"; like a rogue. This is certainly one of the nuances Yoshi brought to the the that Reza does not really portray. In my view, he does not even look like one who would have lived that way.

Yoshi was magical from the beginning. He didn't need to "warm up" to the role. But maybe Reza does need more time. Let's see...
I love Yoshi...so sad he isn't playing Philip anymore!
He’s moved on to other roles be happy for him 😊
I have not seen enough of the new character. I liked Yoshi Baragus! I liked his character. But I don't make the call
There is no replacing Yoshi ! He was a vital character and I loved him sad he was “let go “.
Character takes time to develop! He is a very handsome fellow!
I like his voice too!
The new guy who plays Philip seems more like a stand-in. Because he barely had any lines when Philip was so impactful and the last season. 😂
Yoshi was a magical person
It's not easy to be the new kid on the block. It's important to remember what the show is truly about.
you're right. it must have been quite difficult to adjust for him
Yoshi is just GREAT as an actor ... Big Shoes To Fill
He also had a great script!
Yoshi played Phillip very well and he was definitely my favorite disciple. Always pleasant and not part of the politics...
Yoshi gave Phillip charisma, waiting to see that from Reza.

I'm excited to see what you will bring to the role.
That's fair
To be fair they didn’t exactly give the new actor much to do. He had a few lines that could just as easily been given to any of the other disciples. Hopefully in time they will give him more of a spotlight and we can see him shine.
I'm guessing there was probably some sort of conflict. If Dallas doesn't have anything nice to say, he doesn't say anything at all. And he hasn't said much on this issue. I'll put it that way
Like many others I love Yoshi he was super natural fitted the role of Philip so well. Reza is different but everyone is different. We need time to adjust to the change and give him a chance. Is never easy to fit in someone’s shoes.
You're right
When getting to know 12 dark haired black bearded men, their distinctive features set them apart after seeing them enough. Yoshi was easily set apart. I just finished season 4 and had no idea the new Philip wasn't just a random follower. I remember a scene when he spoke up and I had no idea who he was and wondered if I had missed something.
The Chosen series is there to tell people of Christ, and His life. This series shares salvation, God's love, and redemption. We SHOULD be focusing on all of the lives that this series has touched, rather than gossiping about these side issues, and greasing the rumor mill.
I'm sure that there are personal issues associated with the change, making it an unnecessary issue to discuss publicly. Being a fan of the show doesn't automaticaly mean that everything has to be privvy for discussion.
Instead, let's pray for Yoshi. Let's pray for each and every actor and actress that is involved and for those new faces that we may see as The Chosen approaches its Season 5 completion, as well as up and coming seasons 6 and 7.
Prayer is truly more fruitful than giving attention to things that are happening BTS. If it's a "need to know," I'm sure that Dallas, or the actors themselves, will share it with the public if it becomes necessary.
Thumbs down for not answering the question in the title.
Well the Chosen has had 3 big James, and no one said anything as to why they were changed! As far as I'm concerned, each actor brings their own flair to the character...and none of these guys are at all what I've ever pictured from scripture! Lol! But then we really have nothing to compare...and I'm pretty sure Matthew wasn't autistic, but its kinda kool to watch Paras play him that way! They have also put mother Mary in a lot more of the show than scripture ever did...but it's fun to picture how Jesus and His mom might've interacted...but probably not! So there are many, many character aspects not found anywhere in scripture that are depicted in the series. It just keeps us on our toes to not get fact and fiction mixed up!❤😊
my favorite character. sad to not have him there.
This is quite the gossip session, yikes
Omg!! No wonder i couldn't keep up with who was who cause the actors kept changing..
YOSHI WOULD'VE FIT IN BETTER AS PLAYING BIG JAMES .. EVEN LOOKS MORE LIKE HIM. LOL
Phillip was the most experienced apostle in the group after being the prophet johns prodigy, I thought Phillip shined in the chosen theme
Quit judging, who cares what you think. Its about Jesus, the Bible.
So you made a video to say absolutely nothing useful and then titled it with a question we all would like to answered clearly.
This feels like bot activity
i liked him till he was yelling f ya from a stage twice to all the people around. I thought that is terrible and I'm sure that's what he had to go. We need Christians or respectful people in the roles.
You people are something else . Why does he have to be like the other one ..come on man ..cha
If we are watching The Chosen for the spritual truths that God has chosen to reveal thru the show, then won't those truths will shine through all the cast, even new members?
God's Truth can withstand cast changes just as it shines despite historical inaccuracies.
If we truly believe that everything works to the good for those who love Him (God), can we be open minded that there are good things in store for Yoshi and for the show with Reza?
I wish all involved well. Thank you, Yoshi, for sharing your talents with us in your portrayal of Philip, esp. his unjudging kindness to Matthew. May your next chapter be blessed & guided by the Lord.
Good luck, Reza. May you draw divine inspiration to portray Philip in a way that enlightens people, as well as grace to withstand the challenging period while people prejudge you in the role.
It's a TV show. I recommend getting Spiritual Truths from Scripture, not a dramatization with added content. It's dangerous to look to a modern dramatization for God's Truth.
Sorry I didn’t even notice the change 🤷♀️
Pouting Yoshi.
It’s not fair to compare the 2 because Yoshi has had so many more scenes to develop his character.
That being said Yoshi was amazing in the part.
That's fair
I enjoyed Yoshi but, in truth, the disciples are secondary to Jesus and Yoshi’s “personality” is not supposed to be one of the primary people in the Chosen. The outrage at Jesus not raising Ramah shows that people want to see “fun” characters rather than see the Biblical Truth on the screen. Quit watching The Chosen if you’re solely wanting to be entertained and to not have anything bad happen to your favorite characters. Like is tough and the Bible is Truth for life.
Thank you. Finally, someone who speaks the truth.
Ramah dying and Jesus not saving her and the while scene is unbiblical.
The chosen is supposed to add secondary stories to the gospel, not change the whole gospel with events so significant that would surely have been included in the gospels.
Is Dallas sure Jesus would have reacted this way? If not, he shouldn't have added this.
Keep the fictional stories to the secondary characters, or else it becomes a heresy.
I know right the gospels show how dark and brutal those times were … wait untill they show the crucifixion .
I know Dallas won’t back down for that .
This new actor is much better as Phillip, much more humble.
The original Phillip was too much, "hey, look at me!' trying to steal every scene he was in
So, Dallas had no choice but to shit can his primadona ass
Yes the narcissistic personality shining through that everyone seems to be "in love" with 🙄
Poor Reza.
Not fair. I don’t like the comparisons it’s not fair it really isn’t. Let’s be happy we had Yoshi and now let’s be happy. We have Reza.
Keep your comparison for yourself.
Many of fans loved Yoshi he was perfect for the roll.
Who are you to judge him or compare him to another?
Did you go to university to learn how to do this job.
You are just another one who does TH-cam videos with lots of bla bla bla talk to make money.
you don't have to watch if you don't like my opinions. you know that right?
It's okay to judge and compare the actors' performances because The Chosen is first and foremost a TV show. Yoshi brought Philip to life. So far Reza has not. His performance is not just toned down in comparison to Yoshi's; it's expressionless and bland. Unless Reza changes his acting style, which is unlikely, it is what it is. Not sure what was seen during the audition but It's giving last minute hasty hire.
I agree, the writers didn’t give him much dialog and kept him in the background. Hopefully they will allow him to contribute.
I hope so ❤️
I loved the original Phillip too but let’s give the new Philip a chance! We might love him just as much in time. I wish both men the the very best ❤️
Maybe Phillip's character is still mourning the loss of his friend John the Baptist and it is reflected in his role in these last episodes
Conjecture. Give it time. Comparison unfair.
I like this guy just fine. no need for comparisons.
He wasn't let go. He chose to accept a different role elsewhere
I think he is starting slowly so we couldn't feel the change. As you said it was a planned thing so we can adjust to it.
Unfortunately Dallas hasn’t been giving the new Philip the same screen time as the old one, and we’ve had 2 Seasons to get to know Yoshi, where the new guy has barely spoken. He’s a big guy, deep voice, very handsome, I believe that given a chance, and some solo time on screen, that we will come to love him like the former, maybe even more!
It happens that’s showbiz
Some people just find things to complain about rather than focusing on the message. Sad
You have lost me..your a bit nasty with your words 😱
Still stay well..
i think it's alright to criticize an actor's performance. i'm not saying anything bad about his personality
I don’t think people are being fair, either. To date, Reza has not been given the opportunity to show us what he can do or is capable of. He doesn’t write the scripts, and therefore can’t give himself on-screen lines.
Yes, I want to see him more
I liked Yoshi better. I didn't even know who the new guy was, until I came across this video. I did notice the new guy, but noticed he was boring. Yoshi was not boring at all & I really enjoyed him in the role of Phillip. Buy don't really have a choice but to give Reza a chance, since I have no control or say in what happens in that show. :D
I loved Yoshi as Phillip he was my favorite character however I do not think the new Phillip lacks personality, I think you are just comparing him with Yoshi because you love Yoshi when he has not been giving enough scenes, I don't think you will change your mind you have already decided, as much as I miss Yoshi it does not matter to me who plays any of the apostles, they changed big James 3 times AND THE SHOW JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER so I will let Dallas and the actors make their own choices.
I am open minded no worries. If he has more scenes and proves to be good, there shouldn't be any issue
I enjoy the humbler, "still waters" style of Reza.
Same 🥰
I don't think it is hard to replace any actor as long as they do great acting Philip was the most experienced of the disciples and first known evangelist in the bible
I loved Yoshi as Philip. Reza is great too. Both things can be true. Surely you have better things to concern yourself with.
It's just a simple comparison. No bad intentions
Comparing one actor to another in the same role is fair. People do it all the times, e.g. actors playing Hamlet, Romeo, etc. The comparisons aren't personal, they're about a skill.
Bye yoshii , thankyou for ur acting ..God bless
We had 3 Big James give the guy some Grace
I’m not being critical of Reza but Yoshi has the personality to fulfill the Biblical acts of the Apostle Phillip. That said, it remains to be seen if Reza can fill those Texas-sized shoes left by Yoshi’s portrayal of Phillip.
