The official cast and crew photo from the filming of "Matthew"
...set against 2000 year old Roman ruins in North Africa. |
| |

On my way to scene one of day
one...40 days in the wilderness.
Is this a happy guy, or what!? |

A hug for Moroccan make-up artist,
Khadija.
What a blessing...she cared
for me like I was her own son. |
| |

Down time with my donkey,
"Rocky,"
and "Mary Magdalene"
(Pippa Duffy).
On location
in Meknes, Morocco. |

One of the biggest blessings of
"Matthew" - lifelong friendships.
Here, Bruce Rudnick and I are
having the time of our lives on
location for the feeding of the 5000. |

|

The view from the cross. |
| |
|

Final crucifixion touches from wardrobe
designer, Diana Cilliers..."the
blood." |
| |
|

What a thing to rehearse. Notice the thorns waiting on
me in
prop master, Leon's, right hand. |
| |

Bruce Rudnick read scripture to
me
all through the filming
of the crucifixion...even while
I was getting my "lashes"
touched up. |

It was horrific, filming the
crucifixion.
My face and posture
say it all,
as director, Regardt,
confers with his continuity supervisor. |
| |
|

My face says it all... and not even a grain of sand compared to
what He went through.
Oh, thank you, Jesus! Praise Your wonderful name! |
| |

Regardt Van den Bergh on a
break
among the "temple"
crowd ...a born-again director
moving in the kingdom blend of
talent, passion, and purpose.
Glory to the Living God |

What's that song Michael W.
Smith sings,
"Friends are
Friends Forever"?
I'll tell you,
it was 100 degrees in the
shade that day,
but what an exciting
time we had feeding the 5000. |
| |

Not yet in costume,
I rehearse the calling of
Matthew.
Dig those first
century sunglasses,
Apostle Andrew!! |

Trying to stay warm with
Moroccan production coordinator,
Isshane.
Nothing like sitting on
a 2000 year old Roman ruin! |
| |

Bruce Rudnick calls this
my "hallelujah hair" shot.
Hallelujah!! |

Actor and Director discuss
the "Simon the Leper Feast" scene,
trying to stay warm over a pot of coals. |
| |

On the temple set waiting
out a
rain storm with sound
man, Simon Rice. |

Kicking back between scenes on
location in Quarzazate, Morocco.
Just like 2000 years ago,
there's
always a Pharisee lurking close by! |

Rehearsing..."Go into the village...you
will find a donkey tied there." |
