Oh, those darn Christian hating Hollywood types! How dare they block out Jim Caviezel, greatest living actor since Laurence Olivier? They will get their retribution--in HELL!

Because he's a Christian! The reason is self explanatory, if you've read this thread. Jim Caviezel have major concerns, and issues about performing sex scenes, and nudity on screen due to his religious beliefs. It's quite simple!

Shame, embarrassment, and absolute fear of nudity is NOT a religious issue.

It sounds like he expected a big career bump from PotC, but why would a studio cast him off of that since the main audience for that film consisted of people who otherwise don't frequent movie theaters and don't like Hollywood product?

But surely you can see how, in a business where your job is to portray characters who may have convictions other than your own, you would be severely limiting your opportunities for work. And since there is usually a romantic/sexual element for the leading man in most movies, Caviezel has pretty much decided on his own that he won't be playing the leading man roles.

Exactly. If you want to work a job that is completely consistent with Christians morals, get a job at a church.

There's a lot of nudity in Christian art.

He is really bland, both in demeanor and appearance. I don't think I could pick him out of a police line-up.
He's also been a lot of bland, forgettable projects like The Prisoner.

Maybe he does maintain a official position in his ministry, where he donates his time, and performs specific duties for his Church that's been appointed by Leadership.

With Jim Caviezel's handsomeness, the vultures in Hollywood, would love to exploit him sexually every which way they possibly can, and market him as a sex symbol for their own financial benefit. Jim Caviezel strictly doesn't want that type of an image... The film industry is furious because they are unable to take advantage of him... I wouldn't be surprised if he's been offered to pose for various of semi-pornographic magazines as well, but unfortunately for them, he'd refused.
I can, but why couldn't you? He's recognizable!

All I could find is this. Take it for what you will...
Staunchly Catholic Hollywood actor Jim Caviezel refused to strip off for a sex scene with beautiful actress Ashley Judd. The 33-year-old star threatened to walk out unless director Carl Franklin shot the scene for thriller High Crimes with both parties wearing clothes. He says, "I told Carl, 'It's no problem, I don't have to do this movie. Go ahead and find someone else.' I see our culture as not respecting people too much, treating people like objects. There are times where sex is appropriate, but I've yet to see butts and breasts act themselves out of a scene!" It's not the first time Caviezel has refused to get naked for scenes with beautiful co-stars. He refused to film a love scene with sexy Jennifer Lopez in Angel Eyes because she was topless and asked rising star Dagmara Domincyzk to cover her nipples while shooting The Count Of Monte Cristo. The married star says, "My acting stems from inside, from God. And that's the only way I can act. If I violate that, then I don't think I'd be around this business much longer."

That said, he obviously isn't a big enough star to make demands like that so he shouldn't bitch about it. You could almost say that he's blaming his faith aka Jesus for his career failures. That's not what a true Christian does. A true Christian sticks by their beliefs for better or for worse.

slimdude does indeed seem to be quite enamored and intoxicated with the Caviezel.

I'm no Christian but these threads are just one big circle jerk that adds absolutely nothing insightful to the conversation.

Why the hell didn't he star in Atlas Shrugged? The combined indignation about 'hollywood' could have killed Osama itself and saved us a chopper.
