Reza Diako as Philip in The Chosen
Stepping into an already established role is never easy, but Reza Diako, who took over the role of Philip in The Chosen starting from Season 4, found the process to be uniquely challenging—and a little surreal. In a recent interview with Collider, Diako opened up about his experience auditioning for the show, revealing that he wasn’t initially aware that he was being considered to take over the role of Philip.
This situation led to what Diako described as a "weird, meta mind game" between him and the show's creative team. As he tried to interpret the character during his audition, he was consciously avoiding mimicking Philip, only to discover later that the role he was auditioning for was, in fact, Philip. "I’m just trying to make it different from Philip,” Diako explained, “but then it turned out they were looking for Philip.
The 'Harry Potter' Precedent Taking on a role previously portrayed by another actor presents its own set of challenges, something Diako was keenly aware of. He likened the experience to the recasting of Dumbledore in the Harry Potter films after Richard Harris's death and the subsequent change from Johnny Depp to Mads Mikkelsen as Grindelwald in the Fantastic Beasts series.
Despite the pressure, Diako embraced the challenge with a combination of admiration for his predecessor, Yoshi Barrigas, and his own artistic instincts. "I was a fan of the show before, and I'd seen Yoshi’s performance, and I wanted to do it justice and continue on from it," he said.
