Weekend Rewind: Vanessa DeSilvio

Voice in The Kingdom

This Kingdom Conversation is from June, 2021 when The Chosen, Season 2 was still being produced and was recorded live ahead of when episode 6 was released.

Quincy had the privilege of speaking with stage, film and commercial actor and voice over artist Vanessa DeSilvio. She brought to life the character Photina (the Samaritan woman at the well) in The Chosen. We learned that The Lord ordained the opportunity for Vanessa to play the role on the first-ever multi-season series based on the true stories of the gospels of Jesus Christ by moving her to Dallas, Texas years before creator/director Dallas Jenkins began work on the worldwide phenomenon. Vanessa shared with us her heart for combining her love of God and love to perform while she also pointed out what it was like to be on set and prepare to bring the first commissioned evangelist by the Messiah to life. She shared her love for her family, her respect for the production team and her awe of the response people have had to her portrayal in our 30-minute conversation.
