Jim Cavieze was born on September 26, 1968 in Mount Vernon, Washington, USA.

After several small roles in the early 1990s, Jim Caviezel wowed audiences and critics as the contemplative Private Witt in 1998's The Thin Red Line starring opposite Nick Nolte and Sean Penn.

An earnest actor famous for his "soulful" eyes, Caviezel went on to earn leading roles in films such as Frequency (2000), Angel Eyes (2001) and The Count of Monte Cristo (2002). In 2004 he appeared as Jesus in the Mel Gibson-directed film The Passion of the Christ.

Also he starred Deja Vu (2006) and future project Outlander (2007).

James Caviezel married Kerri Browitt in 1997, whom he met on a blind date several years prior. Shortly afterward, they adopted a three-year-old Chinese daughter, Bo. The Caviezel family lives in California's Conejo Valley.
