10 Actors Who Paid Terrible Prices For Movie Roles

Making misinformed career choices and suffering on-set injuries are all very unfortunate but you know you done goofed when you incite the wrath of God himself which is exactly what actor Jim Caviezel did while playing his son, our lord and saviour Jesus Christ, in Mel Gibson’s controversial biblical epic The Passion of the Christ.

It seems the big man upstairs wasn’t too taken with the film because during the shooting of the Sermon on the Mount scene Caviezel was smote down by a bolt of lightning. As his horrified castmates looked on, it seemed as though smoke and fire were coming out of Caviezel’s ears who in his own words was “lit up like a Christmas tree”. Which is befitting since he was playing Jesus who basically invented Christmas.

Of course, it could’ve simply been the misfortunate result of filming on a hilltop during a storm but you have to wonder.
