Caviezel Under Protection
The Passion Of The Christ star James Caviezel is being protected by a security team from attack by religious fanatics following his performance as Jesus Christ in the Mel Gibson movie. Studio bosses are concerned that zealots will attack Caviezel for his role in the controversial film and have hired a 'protection squad.' A furious mob have already screamed 'anti-Semite' and hurled a bucket of lamb's blood at Oscar-winning actor and director Gibson in a New York street. A studio source tells British tabloid newspaper Daily Star On Sunday, "There are some crazy people out there and everything is being done to protect Mel and Jim from physical attack." Caviezel, a devout Catholic, says, "Of course I'm scared that someone could get it in his head to make me a target. But I won't let this stop me doing my business. I'm an actor, helping to promote a movie I truly believe in."

Gee, no wonder the guy wouldn't want to reprise the role of Jesus. So ridiculous to try to hurt someone because you played Jesus in a movie. ::rolls eyes::

Interesting that you had to dig this out of IMDB (internet movie database) and not the mainstream press.

Hmm? I first saw it posted in a thread at the Box Office Mojo forum.

OK.....but still that is just a forum like this one. When I googled for the story, I turned up zero hits. Can I assume the news media is spiking the story?

Oh, I see what you are saying. Perhaps they are. I don't know.

"He says we lynched Jesus!" ==> "We never would have lynched Jesus!" ==> "Lynch him!"

"He says we lynched Jesus!" ==> "We never would have lynched Jesus!" ==> "Lynch him!" Yeah. Interesting logic, huh? And they were warning us about the rise in anti-Semitism from this and here, it's the other way around.
