Page "Civilization (film)" Paragraph 13

George Fisher was given the daunting role of playing " The Christ " in Civilization.

He was " the first cinema actor to portray Christ for the screen.

" At the time of the film's release, Fisher told the Los Angeles Times that, to get in the proper mood for the role, " he lived the life of a recluse, spending his time in study and meditation.

" He expressed his hope that the film's message would be heard :" I can say in truth that the playing of this part has affected my whole life and the impressions will never leave me.

I have tried earnestly and sincerely, with a deep prayer in my heart, to bring a message to the world, one which will reach, perhaps, millions.

Now my only wish is that whoever may witness the performances of ' Civilization ' will realize only the truth and beauty of the message.
