Despite these emotions, the actor expressed his gratitude for the preparedness God has placed in his mind and heart as he looks to the future.
“But the Lord has used it to prepare me for the next phase of my career, whatever that may look like,” Roumie said.
He also reflected on the stunning nature of his rise to fame, expressing gratitude for his ability to star in and sustain a series like “The Chosen.”
“It’s a miracle that I’m here — that I’m standing here,” Roumie said. “Words don’t describe … the odds of me making it through are astronomical. It’s like making it to the Olympics.”
