Hi, fellow Diogo fan friends! I am Celena, (aka @Celena229), guest contributor to the blog.  I am excited to share my first "Throwback Thursday" post with you.  I think it's safe to say that we all agree what a talented actor Diogo is... and after much research that talent is evident in his many roles before his portrayal of Jesus in "The Bible." 

Today's "Throwback Thursday" is from 2007 -- a movie called "The Italian Writer" (“A Escritora Italiana.”) Diogo plays "Joseph," a tormented American seminarian who is a member of Opus Dei. In the future, Joseph enters a bookstore in search of an Italian writer. As he searches for the name, he recounts the story of a woman he met 30 years ago. While in Lisbon, Portugal Joseph meets Giulia, an Italian writer. The two are immediately attracted to one another. Giulia is in Lisbon on a mission -- to find a woman who her father had a relationship with many years ago. Joseph is intrigued by her story and proposes that he and Giulia make the most of their 12-hour train delays (due to the Pope’s visit to Portugal) to try and find the woman. Lucia Moniz, who plays Giulia, also starred in “Vingança” with Diogo.
