Episode Summary. There seems to be widespread agreement that Jonathan Roumie’s portrayal of Jesus in Dallas Jenkins’, The Chosen, is remarkably well done. As someone has said, “If you’re aiming to make a TV show about the life of Jesus, you better cast the right person for the lead role.” There is something deep, personal, and even perhaps threatening to us in the way Jesus is portrayed by anyone.
