Actress Patricia Heaton: More Christians in Tinseltown than We Think"It's unusual that really two shows I have been on have had that in common, 'Raymond' and 'The Middle'—both families were churchgoers, and they never made a big deal about it. It was just part of the fabric of their lives which is true for many, many families in the United States, but it is never portrayed." (Hollywood, CA)—Emmy Award-winning actress, and outspoken Christian, Patricia Heaton spoke with The Blaze recently, about being a Believer amongst the Hollywood community, and the fact that she is not alone there, in her faith. (Photo: Getty Images/Imeh Akpanudosen/via The Blaze) Heaton noted that there are actually many Christians in the industry, as well as those who are seeking, but that those Christian celebrities who are not vocal about their faith may be afraid of the less-than-favorable perceptions and stereotypes of Bible-Believers. "…I think there has been this idea out there and the media kind of runs with it," Heaton explained, "portrays Christians as bad guys." The actress—who stars in the soon-to-be-released movie "Mom's Night Out"—suggested that just living the life may carry more weight in Hollywood. "If you're on a set everyday with 12 people," said Heaton, "they get to know you and see how you treat number one on the call sheet and number 49 on the call sheet and how you act. Whether you act entitled or whether you are kind and generous and compassionate, and also, do you show up on time? Do you know your lines? Are you professional? All of that stuff speaks volumes." (Photo: Noel Vasquez/Getty Images for Extra/via The Blaze) Heaton, who is Catholic and also attends "a variety of Christian churches" according to the report, shared about her years on the set of "Everybody Loves Raymond," playing Deborah Barone, and of her current show, "The Middle," (now in its 5th year) where she plays Frankie Heck. She noted that on both shows, church was a part of the characters' lives, but not in an 'in-your-face' kind of way. "It's unusual that really two shows I have been on have had that in common, 'Raymond' and 'The Middle'—both families were churchgoers, and they never made a big deal about it. It was just part of the fabric of their lives which is true for many, many families in the United States, but it is never portrayed." Read the full interview with Patricia Heaton by Clicking Here.
