Jonathan Roumie, who plays Jesus in the biblical TV series “The Chosen,” got candid with Kayleigh McEnany about his “salvation story” and the moment that launched his movie career.
“Today is a special day,” Roumie told McEnany on Friday’s “Fox News Tonight.” “Because five years ago today, I was literally in a pit and God sort of lent a hand and brought me out of the pit. I was broke. I was in debt. I had enough food for the day to last a day.”
He continued: “And I literally, as a result of having been struggling for the previous, oh, 15 to 17 years prior trying to make it as an actor, I literally surrendered my entire life, my career, everything that I had and didn’t have over to God. And that day, He blessed me with a bit of a massive financial miracle that changed my relationship with Him completely and forever.”

Roumie shared that “The Chosen” came into his life three months after surrendering to God.
“Everything’s been different since, so today’s five years to the day that actually happened.”
“The Chosen,” which brings the gospel to life through the eyes of “those who knew Jesus,” is available to stream on Fox Nation.
