White says. “I remember sitting on a tractor in the middle of a wheat farm, just surrounded by this wheat, and I couldn’t shake this thing inside of me, to into the entertainment industry, to become an actor.”
White, 46, is one of the co-founders of
Pure Flix, a film studio specializing in Christian-themed movies. The actor and producer has just published a memoir, “
Between Heaven and Hollywood: Chasing Your God-Given Dream.” The book recounts White’s journey from a Mennonite community in Meade, Kansas, to Hollywood, and ultimately Pure Flix, the studio that has released dozens of films, including “God’s Not Dead,” “Woodlawn,” and “The Encounter.”
