Why Andrew Garfield Keeps Playing Christian Characters

Andrew Garfield has played Spider-Man, but some of his most fascinating roles have been in stories centered around faith, doubt, suffering, and Christianity. In this video essay, I explore why Andrew Garfield keeps returning to Christian characters and faith-based stories, from Hacksaw Ridge and Silence to The Eyes of Tammy Faye and Under the Banner of Heaven. Is it a coincidence, or is there something unique about the way Garfield approaches Christian roles? Rather than portraying perfect believers, many of Andrew Garfield's characters wrestle with persecution, conviction, corruption, doubt, sacrifice, and the silence of God. Through films like Hacksaw Ridge and Silence, Garfield delivers some of the most compelling portrayals of faith in modern Hollywood.
