“The Chosen” star Jonathan Roomy had a hilarious exchange with “Reagan” star Dennis Quaid as their respective characters, which he shared on social media on Wednesday.
Many may know Roomie for playing Jesus Christ in the hit series The Chosen, while everyone knows Dennis Quaid, but did you know that Quaid is playing former President Ronald Reagan in an upcoming biopic?
The pair recently had a chance encounter with Pastor Greg Laurie, who filmed them answering a series of burning questions, including, “What would happen if Ronald Reagan met Jesus? What would he say?”
Here's a fun video.

“Can you help us deal with the Contras in Central America?” Quaid responded as one of America's most popular presidents, adding, “I'd be happy to talk to the Russians as well.”
Laurie points out that the clip was all just for fun, and he's right!

One of the most wonderful things about Rumi's portrayal of Christ, directed and written by Dallas Jenkins, is how fun and relatable he makes the most important man in human history.What I love about it is how subtle it is in its portrayal of themes like the offering box, judging others, and practicing faith.
Season 4 of “The Chosen” is now available on The Chosen app, and we highly recommend binge-watching the entire series. (Related: One TV Show Could Finally Unite the World. Here's Why)
“Reagan” hits theaters on August 30. It's a great movie.
