Jim Caviezel Takes Team Photo with Royals, Filling in for Bench Coach Dale Sveum

The Kansas City Royals had a famous face in their dugout prior to Wednesday's spring training game against the Chicago Cubs.

Per the Associated Press, actor Jim Caviezel filled in as the Royals bench coach for a team photo with Dale Sveum absent because of a doctor's appointment for a stiff neck.

"I think it's more humbling for me to pop into a picture and impersonate some guy," he said. "I enjoyed it, just getting into a team photo. How many times would you ever be on a MLB field?"

Caviezel, who starred in the CBS television series Person of Interest, received an invitation to Kansas City's spring camp from Mike Sweeney.
