Q: What is Jim Caviezel doing these days? I really loved his portrayal of Jesus in Mel Gibson’s movie years ago. -- O.S.

A: Jim Caviezel grew up in a Catholic family and likely caught the acting bug from his mom, as she was a theater actress. He first gained attention for his role in the war movie “The Thin Red Line.” In 2004, he gained worldwide fame starring in “The Passion of the Christ.”

Since the mid-2000s, he has done some smaller films, but is probably recognized more for his role on the hit TV show “Person of Interest.” It ran for five years on CBS and also starred Michael Emerson (“Lost”) and Amy Acker (“Angel”). The 52-year-old Caviezel’s current project is the action film “Infidel,” which premiered in theaters in September, and the upcoming “Sound of Freedom,” which is noted to be in the post-production stage and also stars Mira Sorvino.

If you’re keeping track of Gibson’s career, he’s set to direct a remake of the Sam Peckinpah film “The Wild Bunch,” about a group of bandits chased by bounty hunters.

Q: Doesn’t Seth Meyers, who used to do the news on “Saturday Night Live,” have a twin brother who was on “Mad TV”? Is he still acting or is he doing something else these days? -- G.P.

A. Seth and his younger brother Josh may strongly resemble one another, but they’re not twins. For a while they were on competing sketch comedy shows at the same time, Seth on NBC’S “SNL” and Josh on Fox’s “Mad TV.” Seth now has his own talk show on NBC, “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” while Josh is still writing and acting. He also pops up occasionally on “Late Night” doing celebrity impressions, including his hilarious Matthew Mcconaughey and California Gov. Gavin Newsome.
