The Passion Of The Christ star Jim Caviezel is the latest actor tipped to play Superman in the long awaited next instalment of the superhero franchise.

Passion of the Christ star Jim Caviezel is up against Tom Cruise and Johnny Depp for a movie award.

Producers of the new golfing film, Bobby Jones: Stroke Of Genius, are hoping that it will be a huge hit because their leading man is Passion Of The Christ star, Jim Caviezel, who is rapidly making his way onto the A list in Hollywood.

Whatever the many controversies surrounding Mel Gibson's depiction of the last days of Jesus, he has made a film of overwhelming power and passion.

We have here a yarn which comes with all the stock courtroom thriller characters - the female for the defence (Judd), the loveable old codger with a line of patter (Freeman), the dodgy accused (Caviezel) and a plot that's so downright daft that anybody following it with any degree of attention should be put away for a long, long time.

JAMES Patrick Caviezel might have been a doctor, or a pilot, even a pro basketball player. Instead, he became an actor and today he's one of the hot Hollywood items with a "role so small if you blink you'd miss it" in My Own Private Idaho, with Keanu Reeves and the ill-fated River Phoenix and a breakthrough role in The Thin Red Line, and follow-ups in Frequency and Play It Forward.
