Actor Lew Temple joins I Am Redemption for a conversation about Hollywood, faith, family, and stepping into the role of Dave in the upcoming feature film Price of Redemption

Best known to many as Axel on The Walking Dead, Lew has spent decades in Hollywood with roles in Unstoppable, Lawless, The Devil’s Rejects, Halloween, Waitress, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and many more

In this episode, Lew opens up about what it means to portray a real person in a deeply personal true story and the responsibility that comes with playing my father, Dave, in Price of Redemption

We talk about what drew him to the film, the emotional weight of bringing a real family story to life, and what it’s like stepping into a character whose pain, relationships and redemption actually happened

Lew also shares stories from his career and some of the legendary actors, directors and films he’s worked with along the way before opening up about his own relationship with faith, family, adversity, purpose and the realities of life inside Hollywood
