Hristo Shopov

Hristo Shopov

Hristo Naumov Shopov ( _bg. Христо Наумов Шопов) (born January 4, 1964 in Sofia) is a Bulgarian actor. Shopov's father, Naum Shopov, is a famous Bulgarian actor as well.

Hristo Shopov is most noted for his portrayal of Pontius Pilate in Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ". He has become one of Bulgaria's most successful actors, making his debut in 1981 with "Dishay", choveche (Breathe, Little Man!). His body of work includes many Bulgarian films such as "Vchera" (Yesterday) and "Sledvay me" (Follow Me). He has also appeared in several low-budget US film productions including "Phantom Force", "Target of Opportunity" and "Alien Hunter". In his homeland, he is best known for his role in the movie "Vchera", which became a symbol of several generations. The movie tells the story of young Bulgarian people studying in an English college during Communist rule.

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.

Hristo Shopov recently played the Russian premier in the upcoming "Command Performance" starring and directed by Dolph Lundgren.
