Hey Chosen fam and friends! Wow... I am so moved and humbled by your response and comments to this interview. Huge thanks to Joseph for allowing me to jump in head first. What a wonderful ride we all get to go on with this show, right? Justice, Mercy, Faithfulness... to our family, our friends, our co-workers, to our community. Many blessings and much love! 🙌🏽🙏🏽
Hello Philip! What would you say to people who have the viewpoint of Sibrand (from Assassin's Creed) in his memory corridor, that they are afraid if there is nothing after? Thank you!
Wow! How awesome that Philip made us understand where his character comes from. He REALLY felt he was protecting his people and was taking care of them by closely following religious laws. Aside from this, Philip is a very good, believable actor. He was spot-on when he explained that he doesn't judge his character so that he can portray it the best way possible. He was meant to play Rabbi Akeva!
Philip, you have a wonderful and blessed Christian heritage. God has been good to you and your family. Even though the Pharisees are the protagonists, the characterizations of the actors who play the Pharisees are one of my favorite parts of the show. Thank you, Philip and the other Pharisees actors who are doing such an amazing job in bringing the story to life. I always look forward to the Pharisee's scenes. (Also, thank you for this awesome interview)
Joseph, thank you for interviewing this wonderful actor! Philip, I will never look at Rabbi Akeva the same! Thank you for revealing so much of your background, your faith, and your interpretation of Akeva and his motivation. Your explanation of how The Chosen makes Scripture come to life, is exactly my feeling about this inspired show. Thank you!!❤
I must admit that Philip's character gets my back up, but after this interview he has opened my eyes about his character. This was a great interview. Thank you for sharing. Hugs from, Gina Mac of Queensland, Australia. 😊❤️🙏🇦🇺
Thank you!! Appreciate the feedback and Philip is such an incredible human being. Gina Mac appreciate the love! If you wanna make sure you are notified for my next interview with the actors who portray Lazarus and Mary…subscribe today 😎 also give a like for this video! Truly helps my channel.
Amazing interview. Philip, wonderful performance and wonderful insight in this conversation. As you say, we are looking for God…in his glory and power, and miss the savior of gentleness and love that is right in front of us. I feel a need to revisit Mathew 25:40 again and don’t look for Jesus in the clouds but find him close at hand. Inspiring talk!
Philip, it’s so wonderful to see your wonderful smile after so many angry and outraged faces as Rabbi Akeva. Well done, and thanks for teaching us where Rabbi Akeva is coming from.
The Chosen Brought me Back to The Gospel and To get to know Jesus. Raised catholic I have Always had faith and prayed to God and St Jude however alone in my home…. And had so many concerns with catholic hypocrisy… 😞😢Proud to say I have started to read the Bible every morning also with other faith filled books and prayers and realize doesn’t matter church or religion what matters is we follow Jesus and His Ways!! As best we can!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
What a great actor Philip is. His sweet heart and personality so different from his Rabbi Akeva role. Interesting back story about his family. Great interview! By the way I like Rabbi Akeva😊 And Quadrupletts! What a blessing! ❤
Wow Mr. Shabaz, thank you for sharing and bringing your craft so excellently. Bless you, your parents, and your family. You truly emanate Christ in your articulate expression.
Finally the chance to say what a fantastic actor you are!!! Thank you for playing this part and this aspect of Our Lord's life here come extremely alive!!!😳❤️
This was so great! Thank you for sharing this. Justice. Mercy. Faithfulness. We can truly be black OR white about our doctrine and Jesus brought the “AND”! OT and NT, so beautiful! Thank you, Philip!👏🏻 It's so endearing seeing how many in this show portraying important roles actually know and love Him. What a gift to run across this!!💕
Thank you so much! That means a lot. Look forward to my next interview dropping this week. I’ll be chatting with the actors who portray Lazarus and Mary 😎
Great to see this important actor! In Season 3 Episode 5, Phillip played Rabbi Akiva so sympathetically. I'm looking forward to seeing more of him and Jesus 😊.
Just watched the scene he’s referring to last night. He absolutely nailed it, wonderful re-enactment of scripture. Great interview that provides a lot of insight. Thank you for posting.
My name is James and I was born with spina bifida, so my balance is horrible because my legs get weak really easy. So when I heard “precious Little James”, I broke down crying. Oh yeah, I’m short. So I would be a little James too.
Akeva. Great Actor. His face when he addresses Jesus outside Jairus's house. I love how his face shows total rejection of Jesus. I love the acting. Looking forward to season 4. I feel sorry for Akeva and Schmuel. They are just misunderstood.
Fantastic, acting job! I’ll add my 2 cents about the Pharisees and your character: I always think that if you were Jewish back, then you would not be very far removed from the great deal of trouble people got into with God, for not obeying his very specific rules. That had to contribute a little bit at least to the extra concern Rabbi’s had about all 613 rules.

One of the best interviews regarding The Chosen. Peter is so well spoken. So good!

@@josephcurtisyt you let him talk and that is a gift. Most interviewers keep interrupting. Peter is so articulate.

What great insight! Love his point that "Akeva worked so hard to find God, that he can't see God right in front of him". I know someone like that.
Beautiful words Philip gives! Thanks for your comment friend!
1 of the best interviews I've heard to date...Philip thx for your honest truth & sincere heart. So good!💖!❤❤❤
