Matt Berdahl

"... Judas' ill-fated cousin Isaac (Matthew Berdahl) is working with the Zealots... Berdahl does a great job with an angry, wounded character, eliciting a lot of sympathy, especially as he follows Jesus on his final journey to the cross, but the script could trust him to do more with less, leaving the Zealots out of it, and we wouldn't know the difference....Kingdom Undone is a labor of love by artists who really know what they’re doing.” - Twin Cities Daily Planet
