Kristoffer Polaha is beloved for his Hallmark Channel movies and he also has some other projects being released this year, including the new Angel Studios movie The Space Between Us.
In a new interview, the 49-year-old actor opened up about his relationship with God and why he gravitates to faith-based projects like this one.
“Last year we snuck off to the state of Washington to film this beauty of a film about love and marriage and what happens when we take our eye off the prize and then what it takes to win it back. At first this movie is like a Hallmark rom-com, but you find yourself rooting for the wrong couple, then suddenly the film turns and it’s an explosion of God’s love and shows us what it looks like to fight for a marriage and your family,” Kristoffer wrote on Instagram.
Kristoffer talked about the film in a new interview.
“They’re faith films, but they’re closer to real life, where it gets messy,” he told EntertainmentNow. “You know, there aren’t true bad guys, and there aren’t true good guys. This film is full-on for the faith audience, and it’s beautiful. I watched it and was really taken aback by how delicately woven the story is.”
Kristoffer chatted about his own faith.
“I mean, I just I know in my own life, I’m not perfect and have sinned,” he said. “And if I didn’t know a loving God who loved me in spite of that, then I would never have been the prodigal son who’d have to come back home. My story is one of wandering in the desert and going out and having to learn and figure things out. I literally went around the world and studied world religions because I wanted to understand. Shintoism. Buddhism. I wasn’t just gonna assume the mantle of my upbringing. I was like, ‘No, if I’m gonna believe in a God, I want to know this God.’”
Kristoffer added, “And God, man, he met me and I can’t deny it. So, for me personally, that conversation is gritty, and it’s real. And I want to reflect that in this work.”
