The Bible provides readers with glimpses into the personalities of Jesus\' Twelve Apostles, but little is know about the details of their lives.

That can be both a challenge and creative opportunity for the actors and writers on the set of the hit series \\u201cThe Chosen.\\u201d 

\\u201cWe know he\'s known as \\u2018Doubting Thomas,\\u2019\\u201d says Joey Vahedi, the actor who plays Thomas on the multiseason series. But the question that Vahedi says he has the opportunity to answer is \\u201cwhy is [Thomas] that person?\\u201d 

The writers of the show, Vahedi says, \\u201ctake such great liberty with bringing this human perspective to all the characters, because we got to remember they\'re not saints yet.\\u201d 

The character of Thomas is significantly developed in the first three episodes of season four of \\u201cThe Chosen,\\u201d which are in theaters now. 

Season four picks up right where season three left off, and \\u201cI think you get to see a much, much sweeter and kinder side to Thomas,\\u201d Vahedi says. \\u201cHe\'s out of his shell, finally feels comfortable. He\'s ready. And on the flip side of that, Jesus\' message is getting so much more radical, to the point where it is dangerous for everybody now.\\u201d

Even outside of the Apostles, the latest season of \\u201cThe Chosen\\u201d shows how the message of Jesus is affecting everyone who hears it. 

Kirk B. Woller, who plays the role of the Roman soldier Gaius, says his character is \\u201ctoying with\\u201d the message he\'s hearing Jesus speak. 

\\u201cThere\'s just great responsibility to me in all of this\\u201d to portray his character accurately, Woller said.

Woller and Vahedi join \\u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\\u201d to share their own stories of how they became a part of \\u201cThe Chosen\\u201d cast, and the hardest and most rewarding parts of playing their roles as they develop further in the new season. 

Enjoy the show!
