After playing Virgin Mary since 2017, Vanessa Benavente feels that she knows the mother of Jesus like the palm of her hand. She knows "how she interacts with friends, her fierce love for her son, and how far she is willing to go for him," said the Peruvian actress during an interview with The Latin Times about her character in the TV series "The Chosen."
"The Chosen" is a pioneering American television series in the Christian historical drama genre, created and directed by Dallas Jenkins. This multi-season show uniquely portrays the life and ministry of Jesus of Nazareth, set against the backdrop of 1st century Judaea and Galilee. It delves into the stories of Jesus and the diverse group of people who encountered and followed him.
