From Blockbuster Stars To Sitcom Favorites, These Actors Prove that Christ Shines in Hollywood
Hollywood isn’t often known for strong expressions of faith. In fact, many actors feel pressure to keep quiet about their personal beliefs. Yet, a growing number are choosing to speak openly about Christianity, even when it costs them roles or reputation. Their willingness to stand strong offers encouragement to millions of fans who also live out their faith in Christ in a culture that can be hostile to it.
Here are seven actors who aren’t afraid to share their faith in Hollywood:

From Transformers to Father Stu, Wahlberg has become one of Hollywood’s most outspoken Catholics. He’s said daily prayer and attending Mass are central to his life, and he regularly uses interviews to point people to faith in God.
