From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia Hristo Naumov Shopov (born January 4, 1964 in Sofia) is a Bulgarian actor. He played in Mel Gibson's film The Passion of the Christ and portrayed Pontius Pilate. Shopov's father, Naum Shopov, is a famous Bulgarian actor as well.
Mary Soan, an assistant director of the film I Am David, suggested that he would be suited for the role of Pilate to Shaila Rubin, who was casting the film. After Hristo and Gibson had a brief conversation, Hristo was given the part.
