What drives the former <em>Dukes of Hazard<\/em> star is passion, faith, forgiveness, and living with purpose in his personal life. This theme is also a reflection of the film about a drag racer who becomes paraplegic after a car crash\u2014losing all hope. Paul Sharpe played by Schneider, aids Joseph Jenkins by helping him back into the race car by using hand controls, teaching him to race again. In the process, Sharpe hopes to find redemption.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor my character it\u2019s not about forgiveness, it\u2019s about the need to apologize, which is a very fine distinction. There are things that lay on your soul and in this movie&#8211;my character did something during a race that caused great harm to the main character\u2019s father. He can\u2019t apologize to him, he\u2019s not around anymore, but he can apologize to the son.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/idolchatter\/files\/2015\/09\/Adrenaline-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-medium wp-image-10564 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/87\/2015\/09\/Adrenaline-2-210x300.jpg\" alt=\"Adrenaline DVD wrap.indd\" width=\"210\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a>Forgiveness is not a popular topic\u2014this is what made the script appealing. In his other roles (<em>Smallville<\/em>), forgiveness was a common thread, even back to the Duke days.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUncle Jessie used to make the Duke boys apologize all the time, and <em>Smallville<\/em>\u2019s Jonathan Kent was very big on apologizing. It\u2019s a very important distinction, and a very important part of this film,\u201d said Schneider, who purchased 58 acres in Baton Rouge, LA to build John Schneider Studios to help filmmakers on a budget share their vision.<\/p>\n<p>If the story doesn&#8217;t have a redemptive quality, the actor said he will pass on the\u00a0project. Adrenaline is out on DVD\/VOD, and it has something for the entire family, especially kids he said. \u201cThey just might learn something, and wind up coming out as better people for seeing it. It\u2019s a terrific story, and it is exciting, and it is fast-paced, and it has all the excitement the title indicates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.adrenalinethemovie.com\"><strong>www.adrenalinethemovie.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cIt&#8217;s not what you drive&#8211;it&#8217;s what drives you,\u201d is a line from John Schneider\u2019s film \u201cAdrenaline.\u201d \u00a0The words are fitting for the award-winning actor with 35 years in show business.
