Russell Crowe’s Recruitment Video for Avondale College Theology Dept.
“A Very Special Person . . .” (ca. 1982)
I wonder how many became Adventist ministers as a result of this. One article online claims that “hundreds have become priests . . . thanks to Russell Crowe”!

they should do a sequel to this, how the young man went to seminary but had a falling out with the church and became a bar-brawling, world-famous actor but begins to have a conscious of faith . . . could the ministry still use him?

This video is a crack up! I think I saw a shorter version once somewhere, probably at Avondale where I studied. This version had a very “suspect” shot of an attractive (by ’80s standards at least) girl walking past Crowe, and he gave her the look-up-and-down as she walked past! He made some reference at the end of the YouTube clip to a girl, asking if she was studying theology as well. It must have been censored from this version!
I thought this video was worthy of creating a Wikipedia article! Here is the link:
