You couldn't get John Walton into a church if you tried and now the actor who played him is going to play a priest? Wild!

I've read several articles that said Ralph Waite was a Congregational minister in real life before becoming an actor (he graduated from Yale Divinity School). How's that for ironic? :lol:
