I am 77 years old..one grandfather believed that when you die you are just like a dog and dead. .he lived a wild mean life...my other grandfather loved Jesus and was kind, hard working, loving.. Each one impacted his family exactly how they lived and talked...I can see how their descendants are living...I will choose Jesus anyday anytime! What a difference!😊 Don't miss Jesus.
Wow, awesome example, ty for sharing! Glad you chose the non-dark side😊
Your explanation is a perfect example of how truth shines through. The results cannot be argued.
I guess it’s because this nation and the world is sick of watching over sexualized shows and movies,, movies and shows about vampires, witches, murdering, idolizing darkness, utilizing love which is the highest virtue the wrong way. That is what Hollywood and media has done. But shows like this one comes along and clarifies things for those persons like me that are looking for better television. Go God Go The Chosen 👏👏👏👏Bravo and beautifully done
Abe is awesome! I love his role as Big James. Month or two ago, I was visiting up at Sundance, near Provo, Utah. I saw a fellow walk past me with a cowboy hat and sandles, and big dark black beard. He looked so familiar to me, but I couldn't quite place him. I was about to walk away, when I decided to take a chance.... I walked up to him and said, "Excuse me, but have you ever seen that series online called The Chosen? He turns to be with a big smile and says, I love that series! I watch it all the time. Wow! I said, you look alot like some of Jesus Apostles in that series. He said to me, thank you so much for saying that, because I am one of those Apostles. I play Big James." I was in Heaven! It was so cool to actually meet Big James. We talked for several minutes, took a picture together and it was just awesome! He thanked me so much for watching and for reaching out to say Hello to him. Abe is total class! He has become my most favorite in The Chosen. Not to knock the actor who played Big James in the first season, but Abe is a much, much better version of Big James. He looks and plays the part so very well. Awesome Son of Thunder! :-)
Cool. I wish I could meet him. I, my older sister and my niece did get to meet the other son of thunder George (aka John) at a meet and greet at ChosenCon and tell him he almost ran into me while I was on set as an extra for season 4 and we saw him again at the airport the next day and got a picture with him and after my older sister and niece hugged him he turned to me and asked if I wanted a hug too and I told him it would be better than getting run into (he was laughing so I hope he knew I was just joking).
😊
I just started watching Chosen during this Lenten season. And I am obsessed with this series. I am just currently at the beginning of season 3. I cannot help but feel a certain relationship with all these characters. It’s a “story” that I knew my whole life, coming to life in my heart and soul. How lucky you are to meet Abe. Thank you for sharing your story.
FINALLY an interview asking the questions that I really wanted to hear the answers to! I hate to say it, but most interviewers (especially the non-faith-based ones) ask dumb/irrelevant questions that lead the actors down the road into (what turns out to be) boring interviews & I think you touched on the reason why: It's not 1% spiritual, it's 100% spiritual... & so many interviewers want to compartmentalize the spiritual down into a very small almost irrelevant (to them) portion & instead pack the bulk of the interview with Hollywood type questions about "The Biz" "the glitz" "the glamor" & that's NOT why this show is successful. Yes this thing is run like a business - it has to be or nothing would get done - but it's 100% spiritual. There's some super special intangible "thing" happening with this show & everyone knows it & THAT'S what people want to hear about. My especially favorite thing to know/find out is how each of the actors were each on their own "Road to Emmaus" when they were called to be involved in this special "thing." For me, my main take away is going to be that a man named Abe just "happened" to be in a town called Bethlehem with the star of Bethlehem over it when he was called to be in a show about Jesus right at the precise intersection point in his life where he had given up on acting. It's 100% spiritual.
There are so many angels of alignment - an actual category of angels that bring coincidental things to show us stuff. Beautiful to hear the Bethlehem alignment because this sort of thing shows us it is God not us thinking something.
“Through the eyes of the disciples.” I love that! It’s not a word for word retelling of the Bible.
Abe is completely correct on his thoughts about the spiritual vs physical.
Wow! What a wonderfully articulate interview. Abe is incredible. All of the participants in The Chosen truly have been chosen.
This was such a great interview. Abe is so clear and thoughtful - and of course in the Chosen he plays Big James to perfection. Thank you for this.
I’m from New Mexico. No wonder why I like you so much Mr. Abe - you’re a fantastic artist/actor! Enjoy your character so much on The Chosen! Keep the faith ❤🙏😊
“Godcidence” … love that Abe 🙂🙏❤️
Oh my goodness! I’m so proud to know that someone from El Paso is on the Chosen. I also graduated from UTEP with a degree in Linguistics! So proud of you!
I stopped what I was doing and just listened to this. You brought blessings to my ear.
Great interview Abe.....you are amazing. One reason I think The Chosen is successful as well is because the show has no judgement. Jesus guides with His preaching as you said and His disciples are learning and growing and that is what it is supposed to be about. And that is what the audience loves!!
God doesn't deal in coincidences; so glad for you Abe. Blessings from Canada.You are part of something much bigger than any of us knows.
I got chills at the point when you talked about where you were living, the star of Bethlehem, etc. Praise God He was able to reach you with His plan for you...and you listened! ☝️
So GOD ORDAINED for Abe … continue to Be A The Light in Darkness!!! Your testimony will impact many !!! Great Show by the way !!!
I appreciate you Abe for who you are as a person and as God's child and His work being completed in and through you. Thank you for your obedience and service. You truly are Chosen by God as is the entire cast of this production to not just "entertain" the masses BUT to deliver that timeless Message of Hope that is so desperately needed at this time. Not to be cliche but you all were born for such a time as this.
I recognized Abe (Big James) right away even with no beard , no accent. ❤
Clay, I just discovered your RUclips channel by your interview with Abe tonight. I loved the interview as one of the best that I have seen of all the Chosen apostles. Abe, the first episode that you played the part of Big James- I was so impressed with the life you brought into the character that I immediately sent a text message to Dallas expressing my delight in him choosing you. Big James became my favorite character in the series after Jesus, Matthew and John. You have a most believable personality in the series and in you as a human. I have read all about your history now and definitely believe you were given to us by God’s grace. Thank you for your inspirational journey and sharing with us. I will be following your podcast Clay regularly now, Great Job. I live in southern New Mexico so I identify with El Paso, Las Cruces and Belen. I have lived in all those cities.
Abe is great as Big James. Didn’t get to meet him at ChosenCon so next time. Love The Chosen! Each actor has an amazing story how this series changed their life.
Meaty interview with Abe. Enjoyed this immensely. Thank you. The Chosen is a gift to the world, changing lives globally.
Clay is a very good listener and allows conversation to flow. Very relaxed atmosphere and good questions for Abe.
One of the best interviews that I've seen. I love The Chosen! I never get tired of watching The Chosen seasons over and over!
What an awesome interview. Abe is a great actor. I love the Chosen and have watched the seasons over and over again. Can't wait for Season 4
Haga me too
Amen! Good business is good stewardship🙌
I love this interview and you are great in the role of Big James. Thank you for not giving up Abe!
Thank you for this wonderful interview, Abe, you are such a treasure. Thank you for sharing your heart. Props to the host for asking great questions and letting Abe talk without interrupting. What a wonderfully genuine conversation to witness. Be blessed, both of you guys. You are so total gems.
God is in the details, as always. So thankful to hear Abe's story and relate to him as he does to his work. It's amazing to hear the parallels to other cast members, as well. Blessings, Abe.
I so enjoyed this! Thank you for having Abe on the show and thank you, Abe, for sharing your story. Love seeing how God has all the threads in hand. He's so faithful.
Just found this interview and I am thankful I did. I love how so many actors t just about to
Give up their craft and them They are CHOSEN to be in The Chosen!!! Praise God💕💕💕🐜🐝
Such a humble, great actor! And such a blessing that he is also willing to speak about his faith!
We enjoy you so much as Big James! Awesome talent too!!
LOVE HIM!!!
I love Big James and John. My favorite brothers on TV and that includes Frasier and Niles Crane!
❤Frasier & Niles❤
Gracias Abe, great talk! Love you and Big James! ❤
He’s so cute! I love his laugh and his testimony. 😇
Him and his The Chosen brother John ( Xanthis ) are doing a great job, G_d bless!
What you see is temporal the unseen is Eternal 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
First, I did not recognized him and the way he talk. Awesome to see him and listen to his story. Sending love from the Philippines❤
Such a great convo!!!!
Great, great interaction!!!
Such a good interview , loved hearing Abe’s perspective on the Chosen ❤
Thank you beloved big James for your honesty praise be jesus christ. Blessing and prayers from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺 ❤
Thank you Abraham for your story. Appreciate this. Pray that all goes well. Remember, God's in control of all good things. He loves all His creations regardless. PEACE
Thank you Abe you are such amazing handsome person!!! Love you on the chosen you do such acting portraying Big James I love the chosen God is good all the time!!! God Bless You!!!❤
Amazing "Chosen" team!
I love Big James❤ You are really amazing!!!!
The series of The Chosen is what is considered to be Historical Fiction. Where and author takes real people and real historical occurrences and weave fictional characters and activities in with the actual historical figures and events.
Thank you so much for sharing Abe’s story.
Praying for the Chosen…for everyone working on this project to ALWAYS STAY HUMBLE BEFORE THE LORD!! 🙏
I will say it again and again..if I had to choose any shows on cable/ tv these days…hands down I will chose to watch the Chosen over any garbage on tv. But, I will always read the Bible before the Chosen .
Like Abe and many of the Chosen staff, actors remind us THE ITS ONLY A SHOW!
Abe is correct about sharing the Word of God when folks want to hear…if not ,The Lord says that they will know them by the fruits( true humble hearts helping others, doing for the Lord…just bc He is Lord) of their labor. People can be selfish, and NOT EVEN KNOW IT. THEY AT TIMES HIDE BEHIND THEIR RELIGIONS. SO, be an example for the Lord!
God bless🙏❤️
Another thing, Dallas could have started this project with the Old Testament, but I’m so glad that He started with the New Testament( probably God’s plan 😊). But, this world is starting to show some signs of the end times and God wants us to be ready!
It’s GO TIME FOLKS!!
I’m so glad you decided to do that reluctant audition :) I love the John/James tandem
Thank you for sharing your experience, Abe. What an amazing story of how you arrived on the Chosen. God is good. ❤
Love The Chosen
Great interview! Fellow UTEP grad.
Super great interview!
Great interview! Love Abe, love The Chosen, love God!
Abe, you did such a great interview! I wish I could’ve met you at the ChosenCon!
Wonderful interview! Abe did The Chosen and Dallas proud!
Brilliant. Loved this. 🤍
Oh! Yes, I finally get to say this directly to Abe, hopefully. The first season's Big James was a shadow character. Not to fault the actor, but in the second season, when Abe spoke the first few lines as he pulled the ploy, lit up the screen. His good looks, his flashing eyes and his voice were a force. Now I see why from this interview. He has lived it and he has the heart it takes to transmit being human authentically. Abe brought Big James to life.
YES! You are right! Dallas is so brilliant and guided. He knows that we all want this kind of love and you don't have to be Christian to love Jesus. The writing is brilliant, deep and authetic. There are scenes that leave me in tears, it is so stunning. The Cinematography is rich in detail and crafting, the night lighting touches an ancient cord of heart-home. And the beings that play within the charaters are beyond good. Love spills from the screen.
Not that Abe needs this affirmation, but you don't often hear that science discribes the spiritual world, and I know for certain that one day, the two will join for a complete union of understanding of the amazing vastness of reality. Abe's got it!
I’m 19 years old and I want to become a film director to tell Bible stories just like how The Chosen is doing. Hearing Abe Bueno’s testimony gives me hope to continue pursuing my dream no matter how many obstacles come in the way
So go out to where Dallas Jenkins is and be an intern , a gopher, a volunteer for The Chosen -get your foot in the door and good luck to you!! You can do it!!
Thank you Abe ! Your life events have shaped you to do such authentic work on the show. Keep juggling life & work as you do so well. May The Living God of Heaven bless you.
Abe, I think I love you that much more after this. A L L of you are what make this show so amazing and so relatable. You each have taken your roles and turned them into characters that anyone of us could easily chat up off the street. This role was meant for you. Thank you for taking on this task. ❤️
Great interview. Thank you.
Fight On, Abe!!!!✌🏼
Abraham aka Abe!! it's good to know more about you up close🤩 Thank you for sharing your heart💙💚God bless you all in THE CHOSEN!😍😇.. and Clay Vaughn is a very good listener/interviewer. 👍

Aloha from Hawaii 🤗🕊️🔥🌹 SHALOM SHALOM 👏👐 great interview Abe!
“Godcident” ❤️ this new word!
And Godcidence, and Godfidence are good too!
Excellent! Great interview and great to hear from Abe. Andy Robinson!! Never forgot his face from Dirty Harry. Thank you for sharing, Abe. 👍
Love Abe and how he recognizes the power of Jesus that has impacted the media. We still always need to pray about truth in the media, a non stop effort.🙏🏻❤️✝️
I just came across this and it was a great interview. Very thoughtful and engaging. Thanks for sharing Abe!
I always enjoy hearing interviews about what's in the mind and the Heart of the actors in The Chosen. I am also appreciative of the fact that these actors understand what impact this Series has on the audience. Also love the way Abe portrays Big. it is so genuine, to me, it is palpable.
I really enjoyed this interview, thank you both so much! 🙏
I've never felt Jesus preaching, I feel he's simply teaching!
I think the difference is that preaching makes people feel obligated to follow the preacher, their religion etc. When Jesus teaches he NEVER makes people feel judged, like he's telling them that what they are currently doing is wrong.
I try to follow that example with people I work with.
Peace and Love to All! 💞
Didnt know this dude was from El Paso thats where im from! Somos primos 😂
Excellent actor and story teller. 👌
ABE!!!!!!
Super neat interview! Loved the questions and responses
Great interview! ❤ Abe is so wise!! God bless..
