So yeah, came in just feeling really fun.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;But now, watching the episode &hellip; like, huh.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Later on in the conversation, podcast co-host Danielle Fishel broached the topic of the role, but specifically from the angle of Bure&rsquo;s faith.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Now we&rsquo;ve alluded to it a little bit by talking about how it feels different looking back at it retroactively,&rdquo; Fishel began. &ldquo;You are very vocal about your faith and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/candace-cameron-bure-responds-traditional-marriage-comment-ignites-fury-among-leftists-shouldnt-surprised\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">your values<\/a> and how much they play a pivotal role in the jobs you act in and the jobs you produce.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Would you, if you were offered a role like that today, would you take it? Or do you think that&rsquo;s something you pass on?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Here&rsquo;s what I always say. I am an actor,&rdquo; Bure said. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m not looking to play myself, right. So if there was a part that called for the evil witch, but it was redemptive at the end?<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;That&rsquo;s what I&rsquo;m always looking for in my storytelling and stories of faith, whether they have faith or not. I just want redemption. So if the through line was like, &lsquo;Evil is good, let&rsquo;s keep practicing this,&rsquo; my answer would be, no.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The podcast then collectively mused on what happened in that episode, before coming to the conclusion that Millie had no such redemption. She simply failed, and theoretically could move on to the next teenage boy&rsquo;s soul.<\/p>\n<p>Because of that, Bure claimed that she would&nbsp;&ldquo;probably not&rdquo; take the role today.<\/p>\n<p>The wide-ranging podcast discussed a number of other topics, including the awkwardness Fishel and Bure both experienced when their respective sitcoms filmed episodes focused on their weight.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\">  <\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> <label>* Name<\/label> <br \/> <input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> <\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> <label>* <\/label> <br \/> <input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> <\/div>\n<p> <label>* Message<\/label> <br \/> <textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea>  <\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> <input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\">  <\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey==typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts={ \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs=[ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i=0; i <inputs.length; i++ ) if( !

Some, like frequent antagonist Neal McDonough, take a strong stance by refusing to participate in any kissing scenes with female co-stars. McDonough, who is a devoted Christian and happily married, asserts that his unwavering principles have led to him being blacklisted in the industry. In contrast, modern film star Chris Pratt openly embraces his faith and shares messages about God through his prominent platform, even while working with companies like Disney that may not share a Christian perspective but offer significant visibility. Additionally, there are outspoken Christians such as actress Candace Cameron Bure, whose experience as a child star adds complexity to this discussion.<\/p>\n<p>Bure has reflected on her past roles with greater insight now and has identified one particular role she would likely decline if offered again. During an episode of the podcast &#8220;Pod Meets World,&#8221; hosted by former cast members of the beloved 1990s sitcom &#8220;Boy Meets World,&#8221; Bure discussed her guest appearance on the show where she played Millie the witch\u2014an antagonist attempting to seduce a male character for sinister purposes\u2014in an episode titled &#8220;The Witches of Pennbrook.&#8221; This role contradicts many tenets of her faith.<\/p>\n<p>Recalling how she felt when approached for this part, Bure mentioned that at the time she viewed it as just acting and was excited about it being comedic entertainment. However, upon revisiting the episode now, she feels differently about it.<\/p>\n<p>Podcast co-host Danielle Fishel brought up how Bure&#8217;s faith influences her career choices today and asked whether she would accept such a role if presented again. Bure responded by affirming her identity as an actor who doesn&#8217;t seek roles that mirror herself but looks for redemptive narratives within stories\u2014whether or not they explicitly involve faith. She stated that if a character portrayed evil without any redemption arc at its conclusion\u2014like Millie&#8217;s character did\u2014she would likely pass on such opportunities today.<\/p>\n<p>The podcast also touched upon other subjects including shared experiences regarding episodes focused on weight issues from their respective sitcoms<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2335341,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Candace-Cameron-Bure.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[39883,39881,39882,39884,13353],"class_list":["post-2335340","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-acting-career","tag-candace-cameron-bure","tag-demonic-witch","tag-movie-roles","tag-nostalgia"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Candace-Cameron-Bure.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2335340","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2335340"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2335340\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2335341"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2335340"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2335340"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2335340"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
