    Obi Wan and Willy Wonka don't even scratch the surface of this man's career. He's been in hundreds of projects from Harry Osborne AND Spider-Man in Marvel, to Tidus in Final Fantasy X, he is such an awesome performer. He's also very gracious and kind to his fans who meet him at conventions or get autographs.
    He also paints as a nearly lifelong hobby, especially painting American flags, which has made social media mad at him for loving his country.
    And, perhaps unsurprisingly, he's a devout believer in Christ.

      He is Johnny Test from the series. He is Ratchet from Ratchet and Clank, and 139 other voices. I used to have my own internet radio show and had the honor of interviewing JAT. While his agent had said 20 minutes, James stayed on for 2 hours answering his call-in fans questions and doing voices. Of all the people I have interviewed, Mr. Arnold is to this day my favorite. He is one of the classiest artist out there. JAT, if you ever see this, we at The Media Outsiders love you sir.

      @@gavo7911 I think there’s two answers to your question: one is that being a Christian I believe that in order to be saved and go to heaven, you must believe and have a personal relationship with Jesus. So him being a Christian means that I will see him in heaven.
      The second answer is that it just feels good to find out that you have similarities with people that you admire and respect. If he were to believe in some other religion, I’d still respect his work and the impact that he had on my childhood, but I wouldn’t have that extra layer of comradery with him.

    I remember meeting James Arnold Taylor at a local comic con this past summer. On top of having watched him as Obi Wan in The Clone Wars from start to finish. He seemed like a really nice guy who respected all his fans. I’ll never forget his iconic last words he said to me that day: “Stay on the high ground!”
    Had no idea that he’s a strong believer in God. Or that his testimony caused him to keep going. Which makes his words “Stay on the high ground” even more encouraging. Not just as a Star Wars reference, but also as a way of basically saying keep your head up.

    I think the path to harmony is always going to be different for many people. Whether religious or not. I'm happy for James, and can admire his faith/conviction--and I think he's been a bigger part of a lot of nerds lives more than he might realize.
    I also think it's just a common thread for a lot of people, and maybe I'm also projecting; that life presents a choice of allowing the hardships to turn you sour or jaded--or you can push through, to give others love as well as kindness. Never accept the former, always try to choose the latter.

'I will,' says man, and he never performs; 'I shall,' says he, and he breaks his promise. But it is never so with God’s 'shalls.' If He says 'shall,' it shall be; when He says 'will,' it will be. Now He has said here, 'many shall come.' The devil says, 'they shall not come;' but 'they shall come.' You yourselves say, 'we won’t come;' God says, 'You shall come.' Yes! There are some here who are laughing at salvation, who can scoff at Christ, and mock at the gospel; but I tell you some of you shall come yet. 'What!' you say, 'can God make me become a Christian?' I tell you yes, for herein rests the power of the gospel. It does not ask your consent; but it gets it. It does not say, will you have it? But it makes you willing in the day of God’s power."

    He’s always been one of my favorite voice actors. What a real guy. Obviously his work as Obi Wan Kenobi is iconic, but I first was introduced to him through his character Tidus from Final Fantasy X when I was 6 years old. I would watch my dad play Final Fantasy 12 and 13 when I was young, and when he finally beat those and wanted to play 10, he let me take the reins. It will always be my all time favorite video game for the story and the characters and the memories it gave me and my dad. As I grew older I learned more about JAT and now knowing this intense story of his and knowing that he has given his life and his confidence to the Lord is just the coolest thing ever. God bless us all ❤️

My wife thinks it's all anxiety-indused, and I think she's right. But in any case, it has caused me to really freak out and think, 'God, right when I receive this big role, now i have this issue of all things??!' I've never had CBN videos show up in my UA-cam homepage and today it did, and with this particular video of all videos! I truly believe God used this man's story and CBN to tell me (and any others dealing with similar issues) that He isn't done with me and that I just need to trust in Him, and not my own voice - to trust in Him and to lean not on my own understanding!
