The Christian Post
Emmy-nominated actor Max Ehrich
knows firsthand
just how powerful movies can be.
The actor,
who stars in the inspirational film
“Southern Gospel,”
revealed
in an interview with The Christian Post
that he got baptized while on set for the film, which tells
the true story
of Samuel Allen, a rockstar given a second chance to overcome his past.
“I actually got baptized during the movie,”
the 31-year-old actor said. “While my character was getting baptized,
I came to the conclusion that I wanted to get baptized.
It was kind of cool how it correlated;
I was going through some personal challenges, and
I felt like this movie really brought me closer to
Jesus, closer to God.
I was really, really excited to get baptized.”
“This has had such a lasting impact on my life,” he added.
“I feel like I've always been a man of faith, but I think it's gotten
to such a deeper level of what I think my purpose
is and how I can use this industry and
my platform to continue to
spread the Good Word.”
