Easter: Behind the Scenes of "The Chosen"
Listen now
Description
"The Chosen" is a global phenomenon. The streaming series about the life of Jesus is now in its 4th season, which is building toward Jesus's final week in Jerusalem. Helen and Dave were thrilled to chat with actor Richard Fancy, who plays high priest Caiaphas on "The Chosen." Richard did some serious research to prepare for his role — he even read Helen's book! Find out why Richard  sympathizes with Caiaphas, a biblical "baddie" who was caught between warring political factions. And learn how Richard worked hard to portray Caiaphas without the ugly antisemitic tropes so often attached to Jewish characters in the New Testament. If you missed it, check out our episode "Who Was High Priest Joseph Caiaphas?" from Season 1. GET YOUR BIBLICAL TIME MACHINE MERCH The Biblical Time Machine Store  is open!
