A miraculous depiction of events

GSFE

Richard Kiley originally turned down the role of Bohannan because he did not feel he could convincingly portray the charismatic seller of branch water and faith healing.  After he was talked into taking the role, he rapidly made Bohannan his own, altering the character into a believable, almost tragic figure.  Richard Kiley's character comes alive, allowing the actors who play opposite him and the audience to feel they are really participating in a miraculous depiction of events.
