Hollywood in Toto Podcast – Corbin Bernsen Finds Faith, Enduring Success
Star's 'Journey' captures remarkable mid-life crisis, dedication to Christ
Corbin Bernsen sounds grateful that time has opened up a world of acting gigs for him.
He became a star thanks to his work as Arnie Becker on “L.A. Law,” the iconic drama co-created by Steven Bochco. Bernsen’s womanizing character could have typecast him indefinitely, but age and talent refused let that happen.
Now, the 68-year-old star works constantly both inside Hollywood (“Psych,” “City on a Hill”) and as a tireless producer/actor on faith-friendly projects. His Home Theater Films makes movies that “strengthen family and community,” including titles like “Mary 4 Mayor” and “Life with Dog.”
Now, Bernsen is sharing a deeply personal tale via Pure Flix. “Journey of Faith” follows the actor/director as he invites a small Canadian town to make a movie with him.
The film was 2010’s “Rust,” the tale of a pastor (Bernsen) battling to regain his faith in Christ. The story behind the story is what “Journey of Faith” captures. The docuseries recalls how Bernsen worked with non-professional actors and chilly conditions to make the movie happen.
Why did he have cameras rolling throughout the shoot? What did the story mean to him on a personal and spiritual level? He shares that and much more on the latest Hollywood in Toto Podcast.

The episode also features the dispiriting tale of comedians against comedy and a hilarious clip from “The View.” Sadly, the comedy wasn’t intentional.
