ARAMAIC WATCH. In the article "Jim Caviezel's risky sacrifice" (BBC, also noted by Mark Goodacre) we are told:

Caviezel had to learn Aramaic, the ancient language that Christ would have spoken, and often spent 10 hours in make-up.

Caviezel may have been struck by lightning and he may have been blessed by the Pope, but he did not have to "learn Aramaic." He had to memorize some lines in Aramaic, which is not the same thing. Sheesh.
