Have you ever heard someone say, “You were born to do this.”  This simple phrase has been uttered countless times over the years whenever someone, due to a natural gifting or possessing a unique set of skills, seems ideally suited for the task at hand.

Award-winning actor Max McLean was born to portray C.S. Lewis. Possessing the look, the voice, and even the mannerisms of the legendary literary icon, McLean is brilliant in The Most Reluctant Convert, an independently produced film that was recently released on the Pure Flix Streaming platform. In it, the seasoned veteran of many theatrical productions domestically and abroad, plays an elder C.S. Lewis as he looks back on his remarkable journey from hard-boiled atheist to the most renowned Christian writer of the 20th Century.

McLean joins us on the Crossmap Podcast to talk about why people are still drawn to the writing of C.S. Lewis nearly 60 years after his death. Listen as Max shares why it was significant to film the movie in Oxford, England, and whether he views “The Most Reluctant Convert” as Lewis’s greatest literary work.
