<p>Actor Chad Michael Murray revealed this week that he&#8217;s turned down roles over the past 22 years to stay true to his Christian faith.</p>
<p>The &#8220;One Tree Hill&#8221; actor <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/chad-michael-murray-hollywood-faith-religion">told</a> Fox News Digital he&#8217;s had to &#8220;stick to the things&#8221; he &#8220;believes in.”</p>
<p>&#8220;I stick to the things I believe in,&#8221; Murray said. &#8220;Let&#8217;s just say a piece of material were to come across my desk, which has happened plenty of times over the last 22 years, that I don&#8217;t necessarily feel is what I believe or what I&#8217;m selling — then that&#8217;s not for me.&#8221;</p>
<p>The 40-year-old father of two explained that his avoidance of such roles not only keeps him in line with his beliefs, but betters the project in question.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t want to step in something that I don&#8217;t believe in any way because it&#8217;s going to destroy it for everybody else involved,&#8221; he said. &#8220;If you don&#8217;t fully love and embrace the character that you are inhabiting, it will show on screen. I always want to give the people that I&#8217;m working with and the people who are going to watch the movie, the most of me.&#8221;</p>
<p>Murray, starring in new film &#8220;Fortress: Sniper&#8217;s Eye,&#8221; told Fox that reading his Bible and consuming daily devotionals all help him keep his faith in Hollywood.</p>
<p>&#8220;I get up every day and I put that spiritual armor on, read the Bible and do some devotionals and then get ready to go to work,&#8221; the actor said, adding, &#8220;I feel stronger and safer walking onto my sets every day knowing that I have God with me every day. Jesus is there with me every day. &#8230; When you have that comfort that you just feel safe, you feel different, you feel the opportunity to handle more, your shoulders are bigger, you can carry more weight.&#8221;</p>
<p>And, most important, Murray keeps his family close.</p>
<p>&#8220;My family and I, for instance, we don&#8217;t split up the pack,&#8221; he insisted. &#8220;We go everywhere. My kids, my wife, they go everywhere we go. So, I&#8217;m on set chilling with Bruce Willis in Puerto Rico — they&#8217;re there. Although, they&#8217;re on the beach, very different.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We keep the pack together,&#8221; Murray added. &#8220;We have a very traditional home life. We&#8217;re not people who are typically out and going out. I&#8217;m not a good hobnobber. It&#8217;s not my strong suit. I&#8217;ve gotta be honest. I&#8217;m more of a homebody.&#8221;</p>
<p>Speaking about faith in Hollywood is not the norm, but Murray is not alone. For example, actor Mark Wahlberg, star of Catholic film &#8220;Father Stu,&#8221; recently <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/critics-pan-new-faith-based-film-father-stu-but-the-audience-loves-it">said</a> he plans on moving toward films of &#8220;real substance,&#8221; and will likely leave Hollywood &#8220;sooner rather than later.&#8221;</p>
<p>“I feel like this is starting a new chapter for me in that, now, doing things like this — real substance — can help people,” the 50-year-old actor <a href="https://www.etonline.com/mark-wahlberg-on-father-stu-and-leaving-hollywood-sooner-rather-than-later-exclusive-182177">told</a> Entertainment Tonight. “I definitely want to focus on making more. I wouldn’t say necessarily just faith-based content but things that will help people. So, hopefully this movie will open a door for not only myself but for lots of other people in Hollywood to make more meaningful content.”</p>
