Is Greg Kinnear A Christian? | Greg Kinnear Religion

Kinnear plays the role of a preacher in director Randall Wallace’s movie, Heaven Is For Real. He plays Todd Burpo, pastor of Crossroads Wesleyan Church in Imperial, Nebraska.

When in an interview, Kinnear was asked if he is a religious person and he said, “I wouldn’t call myself a deeply religious person. I really liked that the film didn’t get too distracted with the question of whether heaven is real. That is a theme in the movie, but it really gives the audience a front and center seat in watching how this family deals with these events. The fact that he’s a pastor, but not a holy man of the cloth as we’re so used to seeing in movies, and a volunteer firefighter and a wrestler and a father and a teacher, fascinated me. When his son tells him he went to heaven, Todd goes into this internal struggle about what it means. It sets up a lot more conflict than I would have imagined, given the title.”
