A Christian girl, Rachel Whitaker (Jordan Trovillion) goes off to
college for her freshman year and begins to be influenced by her
popular Biology professor (Harry Anderson) who teaches that
evolution is the answer to the origins of life.  When Rachel’s father,
Stephen Whitaker (Jay Pickett) senses something changing
with his daughter, he begins to examine the situation and what
he discovers catches him completely off guard. Now very
concerned about Rachel drifting away from her Christian faith,
he tries to do something about it!

 

Lead Cast

Jordan Trovillion as Rachel Whitaker
Playing the lead role in this movie, Jordan is a true professional
and does an excellent  job in her portrayal of Rachel.  We thoroughly
enjoyed working with Jordan and commend her for the excellence she put forth.  Viewers are sure to see themselves, or someone they know, in the role of Rachel Whitaker!

 

 

 

 Jay Pickett as Stephen Whitaker
Jay has done many things in film and television
and is best known for his roles in General Hospital and Soda Springs.
In A Matter Of Faith, he is terrific playing the caring father of
Stephen Whitaker who is concerned about his daughter’s spiritual welfare.  This is a role model that fathers and young men will want to emulate.  Jay is one of the nicest guys and easiest people to deal with
that we have ever met.

 

 

Harry Anderson as Professor Marcus Kaman
We were delighted to have Harry join the cast.  Best known for his role
as the “Judge” on the TV series, Night Court and for other roles such as
Dave’s World,  Harry is very convincing in his role as the intelligent
Professor Kaman.  You’ll find yourself challenged and intrigued by his
strong performance.

 

 

Chandler Macocha as Evan Carlson
Chandler does a nice job playing Evan,
a college student and committed
Christian who is concerned about the truth.
This character is someone for your teen or college
student to look up to!

 

 

 

Clarence Gilyard as Professor Joseph G. Portland
A veteran of film and television, Clarence is greatly loved for his work

a powerful actor and the kind of man everyone would want for a friend.

 

 

 

Barrett Carnahan as Tyler Mathis
Barrett is a great guy, a solid actor

Stephanie Shemanski as Ally
Stephanie brings a personality to the role of the “spunky” Ally
in her role as the college roommate of Rachel Whitaker.

 

 

 

 

Sarab Kamoo as Kimberly Whitaker
The role of Stephen’s wife and Rachel’s mother is beautifully
and believably played by Sarab, an experienced
actress born in Iraq.  Sarab is a super nice person
and was a joy to work with.

 

 

 

 

Scott Alan Smith as Professor Phil Jamison
A veteran of many guest appearances in TV series and film,
Scott brings an energy and a naturalism to his role.
A professional in every aspect and a great compliment to this cast.
