The actor first described his path to the Christian faith at the age of 27. He shared about his dream of more than 11 years to reach stardom in Hollywood, and how, when he achieved it, he realized, "It was empty. There was nothing there. I went on a journey to discover what would actually satisfy my soul," Buzolic confessed in the interview.

When the host asked him about the price he paid for his Israel advocacy, he explained, "I get death threats, and I think my career in Hollywood has probably come to a complete halt. For me, I take it as an honor and a joy that I can actually give something up for a people I consider a friend, which is the Jewish identity. Whether you love me or hate me, I'll do it."
