Late Night with Seth Myers\/YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You might know Siobhan Fallon Hogan from just about everything. Whether it’s “Saturday Night Live,\u201d “Forrest Gump,\u201d “Seinfeld,\u201d “Men in Black,\u201d “Baby Mama,” or “Fever Pitch,” the actress is no stranger to the silver and small screens. Fallon Hogan told Fox News Digital that film buffs would’ve seen her in more roles had they only been more reflective of her strong Catholic faith.<\/p>\n

She joked, “It cost me a fortune. But, that being said, I wouldn’t be able to sit with myself. You have to be able to look in the mirror at yourself, and you have to be able to sleep. And, like, who cares? It’s all so temporary. It doesn’t matter.” Fallon Hogan said she’s spent the entirety of her career turning down jobs that don’t jibe with her faith. But while the funny woman may not precisely be laughing all the way to the bank, she’s smiling to the theater.<\/p>\n

For the first time in her decades-spanning career, Fallon Hogan will have written, produced, starred in, and distributed\u00a0her own feature-length film. And, because she knows God helped her make it, there’s no doubt it sits especially well with her. The sleep? Well, as a writer\/producer\/lead\/distributor hybrid role, that’s probably lost. “I’m lying in bed, and this idea comes to me,” Fallon Hogan said of first conceiving\u00a0“Shelter in Solitude.”<\/p>\n

The actress continued, “It’s like having a dream, you’re like, ‘I better write this down.’ And I literally wrote it all in three weeks. I’m telling you, it flowed out of me. There are people who say, ‘This had nothing to do with me,’ and I really feel that. Because I feel it has a message for this time, where God must be so sad because we’ve gotten so off the mark.”<\/p>\n
