Willie Aames: the man behind the mask

By Kirk Noonan

 

At the beginning of Bibleman: Shattering the Prince of Pride, Miles Peterson — a man of status, money and influence — is standing in a slashing rainstorm with briefcase in hand. Lightning flashes and thunder rolls as he lets out a primal scream and falls facedown into a mud puddle. Writhing in agony, he notices a Bible partially covered in the mire.

"Then in his darkest hour the words of a single book began to change his life," says the narrator, as Peterson pulls a Bible from the earth. "And at last, Miles Peterson felt a burning desire to know God. Inspired by the Word of God and equipped with unyielding faith, Miles pledged to fight evil in the name of God as Bibleman."

Willie Aames, 40, who portrays Bibleman, had a similar conversion experience — minus the rain and mud. Aames, best known for his roles in the television programs Eight Is Enough, Charles in Charge and Swiss Family Robinson, had fame and fortune. But he, like Miles Peterson, did not have hope or peace until he met Jesus Christ.
