He recently told CBN’s Faithwire about the movie, his journey into Hollywood, and the moment he gave his life and career over to the Lord. In particular, Close shared a candid conversation with God that changed everything.
“I had graduated from college and I was sitting in my apartment,” Close said. “I felt kind of empty, just kind of lost. I just remember saying, ‘God, I don’t know if you want anything to do with me, but I miss you.'”
Despite committing his life to Christ as a teen, the actor had fallen away and wasn’t living for the Lord.

“God wasn’t a priority in my life,” Close said. “I knew He was there, but I wasn’t making Him No. 1.”
That simple prayer became a clarion moment for the actor and the starting point of a deeper and more fulfilling faith journey — one he has never looked back from.
“From there, my life just transformed,” Close said. “It was just supernatural.”
