Once Skeptical, 'The Chosen' Actor Says Series Changed Her: 'God Has Been There the Whole Time'
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 жов 2022
- Elizabeth Tabish is one of the first actors viewers see when they start watching the first episode of “The Chosen,” but her role in the hit Bible-based series almost didn’t happen.
The joy on the 35-year-old actor’s face is undeniable. Underneath her smile, though, is a complicated story punctuated with complex questions about the very existence of God and what that would mean for her - a circumstance coloring the unique place in which she now finds herself: Playing a pivotal role in telling the story of Jesus.

This show has God’s hands on it, no doubts. We feel HIS POWER watching the characters in action. During my 64 years of life I never saw a movie that made me fall in love this deep to Jesus and all of his disciples. I can’t wait to see the fourth season.
Did you forget about Passion of Christ?
@@danielpickrell8311 Definitely no! But The Chosen makes me feel them more real, more human, more like me… They have limits, failures, fears… And joy!!!
I agree 💯 with you that's exactly how I feel
I don't think God's hands are on it, especially when Dallas Jenkins said that probably 95% of the show isn't directly from scripture
@@davidahart2476 My dear, that’s not the point. Don’t forget GOD is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent(It’s in the BIBLE)… That means GOD is in everything and everywhere. So God is in this show too. Just not to enlongate too much this talk, GOD speaks in many ways! Not everything that GOD does is written on The BIBLE… There is much more…
I can sense her resistance to belief and yet, the surrender to the reality of the divine is falling all over her. God bless her, and I pray she continues to gain strength in her walk towards Christ.
There ISN'T a "walk towards Christ"....the truth is this:
At the moment, she HATES God. Period.
She may say differently but that's what the bible teaches...one of these days if God permits, He may change her heart and CAUSE her to be BORN-AGAIN...and if He does...she will do a 180 degree turn around...what she once hated...she will now love and cherish...
there is no "almost there"
You are either pagan...or born-again.
Oh my goodness, everyone has a revelation of Christ who has ever accepted Him, the walk is a walk of life… as we walk through life we discover there is a God- there is a Savior and yes we come to a place of making a decision but Saul said, “when it was pleasing to God to reveal Christ to me.” He had walked along going to the rabbinical teachings, persecuting Jews who were born- again until he met Jesus on the road!
@@rpavich you are very wrong. I got saved as a kid, but fled.from the legalism that was portrayed to me as I got older. It was only 3 years ago that I really appreciated what God has done for me in my life. I've always been bound to heaven because I made that choice when I was young. I never rejected God, I rejected religion. This woman is rejecting religion, but is really starting to understand that Jesus isn't religious. He hated religion. For the record, for some people, it is a journey. One day, it will click for her.and she will accept him. Instead of the attitude you have, pray for her salvation to come quickly...she has to understand to believe.
@@rpavich I agree that to some people it happened 180 degrees like St. Paul. But a lot of people, the conversion is a process. Once you are baptized that doesn't mean you are stop sinning. As for faith, it is not stationary, but you either going up or sliding down. Even St. Peter denied the Lord 3 times right after Jesus told him he is the rock and on this rock the Church will be built. Only God knows men's hearts.
Absolute nonsense!
I'm 62. I was saved in 2018 but was still lost trying to navigate the Bible. The Chosen opened my eyes, gave the Bible clarity, and, most important, gave me a relationship with Jesus. As Elizabeth said, "I was one way, and now I'm completely different, and the thing that happened in between was Him" and The Chosen. I can't thank Dallas Jenkins enough for creating this show.
My life as well! This series could not have come along at a better time for me in my journey with Jesus!
Stick to scripture
God loves you ❤️ man
Ok did she hear the Gospel and believed? "Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God!" Romans 10:17 KJB. This chosen story is blasphemous.
And you had 62 years to read the Bible you old fool.
Elizabeth Tabish is a great actress! I love the way she plays Mary Magdalene.
They called her "Lilith" before meeting Jesus. That is blasphemous Gnostic propaganda on Dallas Jenkins' part.
@@joshuab2437 But the Bible doesn't tell us about her before she met Jesus... It's not blasphemous because the bible never explained her backstory.
@@Ben-js9fg But the Bible does NOT condone Gnostic Freemasonic Satanism!
@@joshuab2437, I believe that's more of a reference to the pseudepigrapha story of Lilith and Adam; it was used to describe a woman who is not righteous. The name Lilith is also mentioned in Isaiah 34.
@@MR-yx8hj But to think that MM was Lilith? Doesn't say so.
I know all these actors of chosen aren't believers, but surely our prayers and as they learn more about Jesus through the show will change them
Absolutely. I love how this actress is starting to believe.
Some of the actors are already believers, for example Jonathan Roumie, the actor who plays Jesus Christ.
@@loremipsum2989 I think he is a Roman catholic
@@shinydsouza1180 Yes, he has recieved the entire Holy Faith, transmitted orally and in written form through the Roman Catholic Church, founded by Jesus Christ Himself and under the infallible guidance of the Holy Spirit from the Pentecost until now, thanks be to God!
@@loremipsum2989 I watched a video clip of him (not part of the film), where he gave a brief prayer in a language he was taught as a young child while talking to the volunteers of Season 3. It was beautiful.
For the actors on The Chosen, there must be times when the Holy Spirit is felt in an inspiring way to bring the story to life as it really happened 2000 years ago!
The Word of God draws the Spirit near.
Well, it's not "as it really happened", the show makes a lot of changes to the Gospels, but it does manage to bring to life the atmosphere and spirit of Christ's mission on earth.
Totally Agreee.....
I certainly believe that the Holy Spirit is not only working on the writers, but also the actors, and everyone involved in the production of this show.
@@Hoi4o They stay true to scripture and add supporting dialogue to provide a sense of depth to the characters and draw you into a sense of the culture of the day. It's supremely well done, with thoughtfulness and love.
It was, I believe, divine providence that put Elizabeth into this role. The impact of 'The Chosen' in general and her role in particular will be long lasting. I'm astonished at how well she can portray a wide range of emotions. Incredible, just incredible.
We can't understand God's plans, but we can recognise that from disaster comes hope. Very pleased for her. I had a religious experience many years ago, when I was an athiest, and took maybe 5 years to process and understand it, and to become a Christian. We're all on a unique path.
Wow 👏👏👏
Very true
That's why we shouldn't judge people
One of the few times I truly prayed for another anything, I prayed for my Dad, dying of cancer. I prayed the he rediscover God. A day before he died, he finally did. A week later my God came to me unexpected and unasked for... It was the most emotionally intense experience in my life. Even more so than the birth of my children. It has taken me years to process that moment. The aftereffects of which I may never truly understand this side of Life.
@@michaellemmons870 Thank you.
She plays Mary so well ❤️ i cry everytime i see the last scene of s1 e1
That scene always gets me too!
Same
Yeah, me too. Watched it about 8-times. Someone keeps bringing onions into our TV room.
Beautiful person. Beautiful actor. Beautiful portrayal. She was perfect. I cannot imagine anyone else playing Mary.
She’s a fantastic actress. She plays the role well.
Mary is the key to understanding Jesus compassion and redemption. My heart melts and I cry when I watch her scenes with Jesus.
Jesus has said that her story will be told generations to come. Are we in that generation when the majority of youth are depressed and lost, and her are story to show that Gods love is truly real and to renew their hearts and change their lives?
For me the Sean when she came back to Jesus, feeling so ashamed and not being able to look at Christ was so powerful, and when he said to her did you think you never sin again? It hit home for me, I was raised up you had to be perfect or else you were lost forever n burning in hell and when Christ said I forgive you wow he does love us so much
I love the way that the “characters” are portrayed. To me, it shows that we are all like Peter and Mary and don’t automatically become like Paul when we accept Christ. It’s a process.
Your not becoming a Paul, Peter, Mary but becoming to the likeness of Christ who is the image of God. You grow in the Grace and knowledge of the Lord to Maturity knowing and discerning Truth from Falsehood?
When did you accept Christ by saying a Sinners prayer at an altar call or did you Choose Christ because you believe that you have Free Will Choice to come to him?
The question is how can you come to Christ by your own ability as I explained above?
The answer to this question is in John chapter 6 read and see if you have eyes to see and ears to hear what the Spirit is teaching you!
Twiceborn_by_grace, absolutely, we all have our walk with Jesus! He knows us individually, He called us by name before we were born!
I love how she talks about Jesus knowing how Jesus loved and cared for women at the same level as men. This is so true and I love this about our Lord!
Worth noting that Paul also didn't automatically become like Paul when he encountered Christ on the road to Damascus. Paul spent years in seclusion after his conversion
@@FOMC6780 Do you have eyes yourself to see what's been taught? Would you dare to tell Jesus that you got it all right? So, if not, maybe don't teach others. And if yes, reconsider your selfrighteousness and repent.
I am so happy to hear Liz being more aware of God’s love for her personally. That alone is a great gift.
Mary is not a character, she was a real person , with an infancy and full life. She did not begin when pen hit paper but her revealed role did. You can read the gospel in a day or so but it covers 33 years. There’s a bit unsaid. I love how “The Chosen “ fleshes out the people along with God’s message. Everyone involved is a gift. Thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻
The casting of this actress into the historical character Mary was a flash of brilliance. It sounds like becoming Mary puts Liz into a very good place. I couldn't imagine the boss not being over the moon to have her on board. Genius move, whoever hired her.
Your acting skills are phenomenal. Your 2 moments of Jesus meeting you and later "I forgive you" brought tears to my eyes and still do, everytime I watch them. Bravo! 👏
Now she has played this role, she won’t ‘escape’ faith. It will pursue her and it will (has) change(d) the course of her life for ever. It’s a great conversion story.
Lol...secular pagan actors play biblical parts all of the time...don't confuse an acting roll with salvation...
IF God chooses to save her...He will...and everyone on earth will know it because she won't talk the same way she used to...she won't act the same way she used to....she'll be a totally NEW creature who LOVES Jesus Christ and can't wait to tell folks about Him.
She will be "born again"...a bible thumper...
@@LitteLoneSparrow well said
@@rpavich a bible thumper.... you are so lost and miserable... I pray you come around and find God.
This is literally the best show of all time 🎉 Thank you to all who are part of the Chosen ✨🙌🏼 I love you guys!

Stay wirh your Bible This movie is not Christian
That woman is going to go so freaking far in her life and career.
Have you seen Hollywood lately? Lol
Love her laugh. She’s done it on set and she did it in this interview. It’s genuine happiness and joy. What a blessing.
Indeed!!!
Just say you’ve got a crush 🤣
I love how the show treats women as equals, no eye candy, no "hey look, there's that funny gal!" Just realness. Especially at a time when women were essentially treated as possessions.
Love her she was the perfect pick for the role.
It is great to 'see' some of the women in the Bible being fleshed out and allowed to speak to us now. Season 1 ep 1 is still the most moving one for me. Watching Jesus's love and compassion bring healing in an embrace.. Beautiful!
Me too. S1E1 was really well done.
Me too. I cry every time I watch it. Beautiful portrayal
Sometimes God sends a dove: this series is a dove for many of us. God bless all actors involved in this project. The LORD deserves all the glory forever and ever. Amen.
Elizabeth is such a beautiful and relatable person. I'm astounded that she would have had problems getting work as an actor. She portrays Mary Magdalene wonderfully!
Liz does a beautiful job in her portrayal. Great representation of the struggles of women.
My brother is building the sets for this movie and Midlothian Texas we live in Joshua Texas and it has changed them so much the movie has changed me tremendously but I was already saved this movie is absolutely lovely but anyways my brother has pictures with these people that are playing these movies that's awesome but he has his father-in-law and his brother-in-law working with him on the sets and the entire family got saved because of this movie hallelujah thank you our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ I love you family God bless you all
She was Chosen. Excellent in this series. Blessings for what's to come.🙏🏾
What interesting to me is that Tabish makes a big point about the disappointment in acting as far as appearance, having to 'look a certain way' to have success for women but as far as I can see, she's a gorgeous woman... No less beautiful than any other who might be at the top right now. That's how the world is, any one of us who is especially unique and wonderful can be made to feel that we aren't good enough. See yourself the way God sees you! Good stuff!
Well, she followed that by saying that what she got wasn't well-written. Because she's beautiful, she got shallow, one-dimensional parts. Beautiful people are just as complicated as anyone else!
@@jsharp3165 Yes, some even MORE SO!! ;D
I was surprised when I first heard Elizabeth talk. I thought she would have had the accent she puts on when she plays Mary. All of the actors put on very natural and believable performances. It's amazing.
Only one of the actors is from Israel, the guy who plays Peter. The rest all listened to him (and recordings of his relatives) to learn their accents.
@@jsharp3165
Ah yeah. Shahar Isaac. Love that guy!
I thought that must be where they got some inspiration. Makes perfect sense.
A very beautiful woman. Something very special about her… God works in many lovely, hopeful ways. She is now a gift to us all… “yes, God has been there the whole time!”❤️🙏
I love your portrayal of Mary Magdalene. Thank you for your honesty in this interview. I pray you get meaningful roles from now on, if you decide to continue acting. I hope you will continue. You’re an amazing actress! God bless! ❤
I'm happy for Liz. You can see how happy she is. Love the way that the writers took the time to give all of these characters distinct personalities. I feel like I know James and John's parents, Nicodemus and his wife, etc.
I love her role as Mary Magdalen. She brings her to life.
She’s BEAUTIFUL. A great actress as well.
Elizabeth is so beautiful in her portrayal of Mary. Thanks to CBN for this series of interviews with the actors of The Chosen.
God has always been there for us, and I am glad that you are recognizing that he is there, he never fails us. Elizabeth is excellent in the role she portrays as Mary. Mary is very human in her experience's successes and failures, but always forgiven. Chosen has opened the eyes of many a Christian and non-Christian that Jesus was very human complete with a real personality a sense of humor, compassion, sadness, mortal, feels emotional pain with dealing with loss, and not just some sterile figure that is above us and untouchable. I can't say enough how this has impacted myself.
I Love Mary and Liz! Awesome character and Awesome actress! Both precious and Chosen!🐑🐑😊😊
Yes!😊👍
I am glad you guys are happy, but Mary is not a character but a reall person
@@pauldonovan8036 Absolutely! And I can't wait to meet her in Heaven! ☺️
She really does do a beautiful job.
Wonderful interview. Thank you! I got to briefly meet Elizabeth Tabish while visiting the production during Season 1 in the summer of 2019. She was very sweet and genuine. Bless her for her life and work!
I pray she accepts Jesus as her Lord and Savior.
Amén
LOVE her portrayal of Mary. So honest and grounded. Love her first Shabbat. Such a FANTASTIC show.
"You're always still loved."👍🥰🙏
Elizabeth played this marvelously. Beautiful how god displayed himself through it.
I love Mary Magdalene in this series! She is so believable in the role! I get transported to Jesus’ time on earth watching her play this role!
смотрел первые 2 сезона, и больше всего запомнилась сцена, где Иисус назвал Марию по имени...
не терпится досмотреть весь сериал. такое же чувство было, когда впервые начал читать Новый Завет.
пусть Господь направляет и благословит вас.
She said you don’t have to change the world but yet through her humility she is doing just that in her role, her personal portrayal of M.M.
Elizabeth is so great, love to watch her in this role. Fantastic.
This interviewer did a great job. Kudos 👏
Love it. Blessings from Iceland 🇮🇸
Ironically, dear Liz, you DO look perfect, you act this part to perfection
Very good actress, very good job. I love The Chosen!
I like Liz Tabish so much🥰😍🤩
The Chosen changed my life…well God brought me back to him through the show…Praise Jesus !
Elizabeth Tabish is doing an excellent job of portraying Mary . Helping us understand who and what she was like , and what her life was like before she met Jesus.
“Jesus elevated women” YESSSSS!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The spirit of the Lord is so profound in these series with all the actors and the rolls they portray. It has strengthened my faith in so many ways. I love this series so much.
This actor maid me cry and my eyes fall in a tear like a stream in episodes 1&2. I really give her A+
Liz, Thanks for your amazing portrayal of Mary! What you’re doing is very life-changing for many people and I’m one of them, so thank you!
I love The Chosen! ❤
She is amazing!
Can’t wait to watch season 3.
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Elizabeth does a FANTASTIC job in this role.
She's a phenomenal actress and very naturally beautiful
She does an outstanding job in her role.
She is stupendous in every episode... the best portrayal of Magdalene on film
She's so amazing the way she portrayed her character.
She is soo elegantly beautiful and sweet at the same time, incredible 🌷
I love the show love it an all of you
Incredible interview! Thank you, Liz Tabish, for bringing Mary Magdalene to life in such a beautiful way. God bless you!
What a blessed job she does! She’s fantastic, as are all the ladies! This show is blessed by God, for our time!
I cannot wait to watch this series! I’m so humbled to see actors speaking about our Father God so boldly in this way!
Praying that I can do the same one day. Thank you for inspiring us Elizabeth 🙏🏾
She's so beautiful and her portrayal of Mary is perfect for the The chosen. I love her psychological makeup she seems really intuitive as an actor. She has so many layers in her complex character and transcends all emotions in all scenes.
Liz, I'm so glad you got MM!! you made the series work. your range is absolutely incredible and everyone who sees you is captivated by your emotions. my wife and i have watched both seasons like 20 times, literally
She is beautiful 😍
I like the career that the show chose for you. I have been a hairdresser for the last 23 years. It tickled me! It also made her so relatable to women! GOD IS GOOD! God bless!
She's been astounding in the role.
Beautiful interview and testimony. Your acting felt so real, now I know why 🥲
Liz is the absolute perfect Actress for Mary Magdalene. She was born for that role. I connected to her when she fell into Yashua Messiah's chest, as He told her she was His. That forgiveness is freeing. Bought that painting and it hangs in my office as a reminder.
Appreciate the interview and Liz responses
I was born again at 43 years old. When God does this supernatural work to the heart of a lost human being there is no mistaking it. The conversion experience is not dragged out over a long period but is instantaneous along with Justification, Adoption and reception of the indwelling Holy Spirit. Everything changes at conversion and I am praying that her exposure to the truth of Christ will cause her to repent and embrace Christ as her Lord and Savior. She admittedly isn't there yet but is recognizing and experiencing the love of God around her. One day hopefully her testimony will be complete in the love of Christ.
I think Tabish's acting is something I've never seen before. She's brilliant in adding effect with her facial expressions. I can't place it, it's just so natural. you don't get the feeling she has rehearsed lines.
All the GLORY and PRAISE belong to our LORD and SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST ALONE.
What a beautiful woman and great actress…
“It’s about a process more than being perfect.” Thank You, Jesus for the process. ❤❤❤
Season 1 Episode 1 is hands down my favorite episode. I relate to the feeling of being one way and now I'm not and He's the difference. That love, that feeling of being seen...
She is Beautiful inside n out.
My God, she is a beautiful woman.
This interviewer is great! May God bless everyone sharing and acting and working for the Lord through this show
I'm praying for you, Liz. May the Holy Spirit continue to move you towards truth, towards Jesus. 🙏🏼♥️
Thanks for being part of this film because you miss Elizabeth Tabish are doing very very well in making the message of the bible vivid and relatable to us. To God be the glory. God loves you and now is using you to bless others.
Wow a great interview. Really enjoyed hearing Elizabeth talk about her past experiences and yet God placed her in the role of Mary Magdalene in The Chosen. Her acting is awesome and she truly is a beautiful gorgeous woman inside and outside!!! May our Lord bless you greatly Elizabeth and hopefully this production will open many doors for you to have continued success. I pray that you have peace and joy and that you grow closer to JESUS. Lord Jesus bless her and award her and protect her I pray in Jesus’s name‼️
Hallelujah Amen
Beautiful woman
Best show on television - looking forward to Season 3
I Love how Liz portrays Mary Magdalene, she really brings the character to life, making her relatable.
She's beautiful 😍
Mary is dear and the wisest! God bless you Elizabeth!
I've always struggled to read anything being ADD I've read Genesis and Revelations.. they held my interest and fascinated me. I love Jesus and God, been in church since birth, baptized at 15 but turned away in my 20s came back in my 30s so this has been so enlightening and opened my world to that these were real imperfect people even Jesus has a sense of humor and brought it all to life! Thank you!
God bless you Liz. Continue to share His love and live in it!
She’s so gifted! Beautiful portrayal of MM
