Analysis. Todd Terry, who plays the lead role of Detective Travis in the hit series Vindication plays villains in two films in theaters right now: Pursuit of Freedom and Running the Bases.
Today may be the last day to see Pursuit of Freedom and Running the Bases in a theater near you. Check your local listings.
In the interview below he shared how those characters can focus our prayers.
Who is praying on the wall?
He plays Borysko, a Russian gangster who kidnaps a Ukrainian woman to traffic her, in Pursuit of Freedom. Terry said that character can lead us to pray the Lord will be “breaking the hearts of the people that are in a business to traffic people… to see the humanity of people.”
Terry plays Michael Jamison, the superintendent who recruited Luke Brooks (played by Brett Varvel) to coach at his school in Texas. Jamison later persecutes Brooks for expressing his Christianity at public school baseball games he’s coaching. Terry identified with Jamison because he bore similar pain. Terry said, “Wounds are such a big thing, and a reason why people push God away or not allow him in to heal.” We spend so much time praying the persecution of Christians will stop, but Terry prayed for healing in those who are doing the persecuting, and it was very powerful.
