How Passion Of The Christ Ruined Jim Caviezel's Career

While it's true that Caviezel hasn't landed a superhero role or starred in any Oscar-bait movies since 2004, his career is hardly over. In 2006, he starred alongside Denzel Washington in the action blockbuster Deja Vu, and in 2011 he scored the lead role on CBS' Person of Interest. The series about a supercomputer that can identify people who will be involved in a violent crime before it happens was a hit for the network, and subsequently aired for five seasons.
Since Person of Interest ended, Caviezel has continued to find work in films like 2018's The Ballad of Lefty Brown starring Bill Pullman and Peter Fonda, and in Infidel, one of the few movies to actually open in theaters in 2020. The actor's career certainly hasn't been flashy, but between his TV work and a glut of faith-based films, he still has a fanbase. His celebrity isn't going to rival Chris Evans' anytime soon, but for those in the know, Caviezel hasn't disappeared into the annals of film history just yet.
