David Oyelowo plays Joseph of Arimathea

Description
David Oyelowo admits his deeply-held, personal faith made him wary of accepting the pivotal role of Joseph of Arimathea in The Passion. “Of all the projects I’ve ever done it was the one I had to think hardest about as a Christian,” says the actor. David’s biggest concern was that the production would present a sanitised or safe version of the story of Jesus’s final days on earth.
