What is going on with that marvelous versatile actor, James Caviezel?
—M.O., California
Caviezel, 36, has been working on a few projects, including one that is being kept under wraps. The one that he can talk about is an MGM movie called Madison, which recently opened to a limited release. Mel Gibson's 2004 movie, The Passion of the Christ, put Caviezel in the limelight after years of trying to get noticed. The native of Mount Vernon, Wash. (pop. 26,232), made his film debut as an airline clerk in My Own Private Idaho in 1991. He followed that with roles in movies such as Frequency, The Rock, The Thin Red Line, Ride with the Devil and Any Given Sunday. Caviezel lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Kerri Browitt.
