The Spy Who Fed Me: From Child Actor to Youthful Pontius Pilate

The Chosen – Season 0

In this episode, Andrew James Allen gets invited to a meal in his own office—the Roman headquarters where he presides as governor Pontius Pilate. If you’ve seen other depictions of Pilate, you might think Andrew’s a bit young to play the part, but he’s been doing things early his whole life, starting his acting career at just 9 years old. Elijah and Andrew reflect on those child acting days that eventually led to this incredibly mature and complex role.
