Reel Dialogue’s Russ Matthews had the honour of interviewing Abe Bueno Jallad (Big James)

Questions from fans:

Being from El Paso… if Abe was to come to the last supper… what would you bring to the dinner table from home?

How to remain humble playing not only real life characters, but one of Jesus’ disciples?

How does that change your preparations for the role? As the Last Supper unfolds, how do you all prepare for the intensity of the dinner setting?

The dramatic highs and lows of this season are anchored in what is to come for Jesus and his disciples after the legendary dinner. How did this make this season unique for you and others?

Reel Dialogue community question: Many fans talk about your convincing friendship with John (Australia’s George H. Xanthis)… how do you both prepare to build this on screen Friendship?
