Hristo Shopov
Biography
Hristo Shopov is a Bulgarian actor, born in Sofia in 1964 to the actor Naum Shopov. He made his debut in 1981 with Breathe, Man! and built a career in Bulgarian films such as Yesterday, a symbol for generations in his homeland, and Follow Me. He is best known for playing Pontius Pilate in Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ (2004). Mary Soan, an assistant director on I Am David (2003), recommended him to casting director Shaila Rubin, and after a brief conversation with Gibson, he won the part. He played Pilate again in The Inquiry (2006), which featured Max von Sydow, making him one of only two actors, with Frank Thring, to twice portray a figure who authorized the crucifixion. His other credits include low-budget American films like Phantom Force, Target of Opportunity and Alien Hunter.
