The 40-year-old actor best known for his roles in the shows "One Tree Hill" and "Gilmore Girls" recently told Fox News he has turned down roles that he didn't feel comfortable taking on due to his faith in Christ.
"I stick to the things I believe in," Murray said. "Let's just say a piece of material were to come across my desk, which has happened plenty of times over the last 22 years, that I don't necessarily feel is what I believe or what I'm selling, then that's not for me."
The "One Tree Hill" and "Left Behind" star said regardless of the project he's working on, his process revolves around grounding himself in Scripture before he ever steps foot on set.
"I get up every day and I put that spiritual armor on, read the Bible and do some devotionals and then get ready to go to work," Murray was quoted as saying.
"I feel stronger and safer walking onto my sets every day knowing that I have God with me every day. Jesus is there with me every day," he added. "When you have that comfort that you just feel safe, you feel different, you feel the opportunity to handle more, your shoulders are bigger, you can carry more weight." CT.
