I always want to give the people that I\u2019m working with and the people who are going to watch the movie, the most of me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Murray, starring in new film \u201cFortress: Sniper\u2019s Eye,\u201d told Fox that reading his Bible and consuming daily devotionals all help him keep his faith in Hollywood.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI get up every day and I put that spiritual armor on, read the Bible and do some devotionals and then get ready to go to work,\u201d the actor said, adding, \u201cI feel stronger and safer walking onto my sets every day knowing that I have God with me every day. Jesus is there with me every day. \u2026\u00a0When you have that comfort that you just feel safe, you feel different, you feel the opportunity to handle more, your shoulders are bigger, you can carry more weight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And, most important, Murray keeps his family close.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy family and I, for instance, we don\u2019t split up the pack,\u201d he insisted. \u201cWe go everywhere. My kids, my wife, they go everywhere we go. So, I\u2019m on set chilling with Bruce Willis in Puerto Rico \u2014 they\u2019re there. Although, they\u2019re on the beach, very different.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe keep the pack together,\u201d Murray added. \u201cWe have a very traditional home life. We\u2019re not people who are typically out and going out. I\u2019m not a good hobnobber. It\u2019s not my strong suit. I\u2019ve gotta be honest. I\u2019m more of a homebody.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about faith in Hollywood is not the norm, but Murray is not alone. For example, actor\u00a0Mark Wahlberg, star of Catholic film \u201cFather Stu,\u201d recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/critics-pan-new-faith-based-film-father-stu-but-the-audience-loves-it\">said<\/a> he plans on moving toward films of \u201creal substance,\u201d and will likely leave Hollywood \u201csooner rather than later.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel like this is starting a new chapter for me in that, now, doing things like this \u2014 real substance \u2014 can help people,\u201d the 50-year-old actor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etonline.com\/mark-wahlberg-on-father-stu-and-leaving-hollywood-sooner-rather-than-later-exclusive-182177\">told<\/a> Entertainment Tonight. \u201cI definitely want to focus on making more. I wouldn\u2019t say necessarily just faith-based content but things that will help people. So, hopefully this movie will open a door for not only myself but for lots of other people in Hollywood to make more meaningful content.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/critics-pan-new-faith-based-film-father-stu-but-the-audience-loves-it\">Critics Pan New Faith-Based Film \u2018Father Stu,\u2019 But The Audience Loves\u00a0It<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/even-critics-really-hate-woke-cinderella-remark-level-of-badness-unmatched\">Even Critics Really Hate Woke \u2018Cinderella\u2019 Remake: \u2018Level Of Badness\u2019\u00a0Unmatched<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/dave-chappelles-rotten-tomato-standup-reviews-are-amanda-prestigiacomo\">Dave Chappelle\u2019s \u2018Rotten Tomato\u2019 Standup Reviews Are In.
