Who do you think would be a good actor to play Jesus?
Let's just say hypothetically Hollywood was gonna do another Jesus movie. Who do you think would be good for the role?
I thought this would be an interesting scenario, for Jesus is considered the ultimate good guy. So picking somone who could embody that on screen would be a tough choice, I would think.
Personally, I think Chris Evans would be good for the role.
How about you?
Whom would you pick?

James Caviezel did well in the Passion of The Christ, maybe he could take the role again.
Probably somebody that looks like they came from the middle east.
The Lord and Savior himself, Steve Buscemi
I think Robin Williams would be great as Jesus.
I laughed. I shouldn't have.
Diogo Morgado.
He played Jesus in the U.S. mini-series, The Bible.
I'm here to serve your darker side.
Probably Gary Busey.
Me.
Morgan Freeman. He's good for any role.
Ewan McGregor.
Three problems:
Morgan Freeman is 80 years old. Jesus was 33 when he died.
Jesus was a Jew living in Palistine during the first century. And thus it's reasonable to conclude he looked like a Jewish man - probably having an olive skin tone - and not a Black man.
Traditional art portrays Jesus as a Blonde haired blue eyed man. And Morgan Freeman doesn't fit this. Never did!
But that doesn't mean Jesus was a blonde haired, blue eyed man. Why can't Jesus have black hair, brown eyes and dark skin? I mean, I hardly know anything about Jesus but I've definitely noticed a lot of people say that Jesus being white is historically inaccurate. Blonde hair, blue eyes... now what does that remind me of...
Considering where Jesus is from I expect him to be a little darker than olive. I'm pretty sure he would have more of a tanish brown color because I suspect he was in the sun a lot.
Adam Sandler.
Larry the Cable Guy.
I wasn't being serious. Other people had many other better suggestions than I did. Mostly a joke on how most people treat the work of Morgan Freeman.
Reminds me of the most beautiful women on Earth.
And that's exactly why!

Haha, nice joke.
The only Jesus I know of
HELL YES!
It's not even historically proven Jesus existed (though he obviously most likely did), let's not start taking traditional art as evidence.
There is reason to think that he did exist, for first century Roman historian Flavius Josephus mention him twice in his writings.
Plus, was all of the books, like the Bible, dedicated to him, as well as all the movies, and all of the word of mouth stories that have been passed down through the centuries about him, there's got to be something to it.
I don't know where you fall on the Spectrum, but I personally believe that Jesus Christ was in fact a real living human being. whether or not he was necessarily the Son of God, well that would all depend on whether or not you believe in God.
In case this is really offensive to anybody, let me just let you know that I am really really drunk right now, and by the time I sober up, I'm probably not going to remember any of what I said here.
On an unrelated note, I must admit that is quite interesting that AMC can find an actor that resembles the Jesus as represented in traditional Christian art.
Now I'm not saying that they didn't maybe slap a fake beard, at fake wig on him, in order to sell a character. But just overall, the resemblance to the Jesus displayed in Christian art, is quite unreal.
I'll tell you, I wish I could look like that Jesus, because he's considered to be the ultimate good guy. And if Jesus Christ was the son of God, then he must have probably been the most handsomest man that ever walked the face of the Earth.
Jesus Christ, the dude really looks like... Jesus Christ!
I was more going on a character that so happens to be called Jesus, and making a joke but ok.
like I said, I'm drunk. in fact, I don't even know how I'm still awake at this hour.
Doubt it, considering I exist.
Willem Dafoe.
what about Willem Dafriend ba dum tsss (sorry I just had to xD)
Maybe the character calls himself Jesus because he looks like him?
Jennifer Lawrence.
Bruce Marchiano. Who cares if he has played him a hundred times before, he is amazing as Jesus.
I know Jesus would spank Bieber. Zach Galifiasomething then.
