“I just loved his personality” said David. David had done an interview with Pat on CNN approximately three years ago and said he was just amazed at how well spoken he was. We brought back some of the original cast but we also wanted to bring in a whole group of new talent we had not worked with.”ĭavid added they had wanted to work with Pat Boone for quite a while. If you’ve seen a lot of the Pure Flix films you probably notice a lot of the same people, recurring actors in the films. That stood out to me-how he just took care of them, they were like family to him.
