But playing real-life historical figure Father Crist\u00f3v\u00e3o Ferreira, a 17<sup>th<\/sup> century Jesuit priest weighed particularly heavy on Neeson. Ferreira was captured in Japan while on a dangerous and illegal mission to spread Christianity and wrestled with converting to Buddhism in order to survive. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was interested in this film because of where I was at in my own life with questions and thoughts about God, faith, science all the rest,\u201d Neeson tells Guideposts.org. But, \u201cI have to convince myself first,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Neeson kept mentioning other actors that Scorsese might want to cast instead of him. Javier Bardem made that list.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI meant it,\u201d Neeson says of his suggestions for the role.  \u201cIt wasn\u2019t a false modesty thing, you know? I had to get over that first, \u2018Am I enough?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To find the answer, Neeson dug deep into his past. In 1986, he\u2019d also played a Spanish Jesuit missionary in the British drama, <em>The Mission<\/em>, alongside Jeremy Irons and Robert De Niro\u2014a film that not only helped him on his faith journey, but also solidified that acting was a career worth pursuing.<\/p>\n<p>During filming, a then-33-year-old Neeson met Father Daniel Berrigan, a Jesuit poet, priest and activist who served as an adviser for the film.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll never forget the Mass that we shared in a hotel room sitting around a table,\u201d Neeson recalls. \u201c[Father Dan], Bob De Niro, Jeremy Irons and myself just reading the Gospel, reading the lessons of the day. The consecration of the bread, it made religion of the Catholic faith for me really, really alive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Because the Jesuit priests felt such a sense of duty and destiny, Neeson started thinking about his own. While he was being well-paid for his role in the film, the \u201cgofer\u201d workers on set were being paid next to nothing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was conflicted,\u201d Neeson admits. \u201cHere I was hitting marks, saying lines, getting paid money for it. Whenever we had a day off, we\u2019d get paid. The gofers that were working, carrying coffee urns up the sides of hills were getting [much less]. [That] really messed with my head.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The experience was almost enough to turn him off of acting, but it was faith and Father Dan that brought him back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFather Dan in passing one day was talking about St. Ignatius\u2019 Spiritual Exercises and he did some with me and Irons and Bob too,\u201d Neeson explains. \u201cHe said, \u2018Did you know that [Konstantin] Stanislavski, who was the first modern theorist of acting, who put this Bible of acting together, he based that book [off] Ignatius\u2019s spiritual exercises?\u2019 And a light bulb went off in my head. It was like, \u2018I\u2019m supposed to be here in the middle of the jungle to hear this.\u2019 And it really changed something in me. I became very proud of the profession I\u2019d chosen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That memory and the opportunity to bring a story to life that could help others think deeply about faith solidified Neeson\u2019s decision to join the cast of <em>Silence<\/em>, playing Father Ferreira.<\/p>\n<p>Though Neeson\u2019s stakes as an actor weren\u2019t nearly as high as Ferreira\u2019s life-or-death decision to either convert to Buddhism or die, Neeson\u2019s questioning \u201cam I enough?\u201d allowed him to bring the necessary vulnerability to the role of a man struggling with God\u2019s will for his life.<\/p>\n<p>The role had such an impact on Neeson\u2019s faith, that even after the film wrapped, he found himself reading more and digging deeper into books that would help understand how the brain processes faith and religion.  The film also gave him a greater appreciation of the faith he was taught as a child. His mother, a devout Catholic, never misses Mass.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s quite profound,\u201d Neeson says of that level of devotion. \u201cI\u2019m quite envious of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, his experience filming <em>Silence<\/em> has raised even more questions for the actor, something he thinks is a good thing when it comes to faith. Though he accepts that he doesn\u2019t \u201chave any answers,\u201d he continues to search.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t believe you can really have deep faith without deep doubt. It goes hand in glove. I\u2019m convinced of that now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut \u2026\u201d he says smiling, \u201cI still believe in a God.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before taking on a starring role in Martin Scorsese\u2019s faith-driven film Silence, actor Liam Neeson asked himself a humbling question: \u201cAm I enough?\u201d It\u2019s the first question he asks himself before agreeing to any role.
