Jeffrey Donovan on Playing Abraham – “I Wrestled With That” | The Faithful: Women of the Bible

At the premiere of The Faithful: Women of the Bible, Jeffrey Donovan opens up about the pressure of portraying one of scripture’s most iconic figures — Abraham — and the chemistry he shares onscreen with Minnie Driver as Sarah. Donovan reveals he shifted his focus away from grand biblical perception and instead grounded the character in survival and practicality. Rather than leaning into myth, he explains they approached Abraham and Sarah’s union as “a practical marriage rather than a biblical marriage,” adding emotional realism to a story known worldwide. Interviews for The Faithful: Women of the Bible at the UK Premiere. Attending the premiere were Minnie Driver, Natacha Karam, Blu Hunt, Jeffrey Donovan, Tom Payne, Ben Robson, Tom Mison, and producer René Echevarria. Colin Hart and Madison Hart were on the red carpet. Plot: The Faithful: Women of the Bible showcases a faithful dramatisation of the Book of Genesis as told through the eyes of the courageous and passionate, yet flawed women whose descendants would shape the future of faith as we know it today. Told through the lens of five of the Old Testament’s most legendary women: Sarah (Minnie Driver) and her maidservant Hagar (Natacha Karam), Sarah’s great-niece Rebekah (Alexa Davalos), and Rebekah’s nieces, sisters Leah (Millie Brady) and Rachel (Blu Hunt).
