Russell Times 2 -- Russell Vardell, Russell Brand 5/19/2010

Russell Brand (not really much like me -- have you seen a guy with thinner legs?) was on David Letterman tonight. He claimed his long, uncontrolled hair restricted him to trying out for acting roles of either a homeless man or Jesus. Dave asked if he had tried out often for Jesus. Russell's curious response -- his whole life has been a try-out for Jesus. Interesting faith comment from an odd, but talented actor. As a Lutheran, I might want to tell him that all the trying will end in frustration, then I would invite him to trust in God's love for him.
But as a Christian looking for faith affirmations in the public square, I will say "Thanks, Russell, for the plug for Jesus!"
