Henry Ian Cusick

His portrayal of Jesus is a mix of benevolence and stern authority. At the same time, he displays a natural speaking voice, enabling him to capture the character’s complexities while still conveying his warmth.
Diogo Morgado
The Portuguese actor Diogo Morgado has been cast as Jesus Christ in the upcoming film Son of God. The Portuguese actor is the spitting image of Brad Pitt and has already played Jesus in the 2013 miniseries The Bible. He is also the star of the telenovela Lacos de Sangre. The production team says that casting directors wanted to find someone with charisma who could portray Jesus in a more human way.
Lothaire Bluteau
Lothaire Bluteau was born on April 14, 1957, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. In 1989, he played the title role in the movie Jesus de Montréal. This French-Canadian version of the story of Jesus mirrors the Biblical Christ with wry irony. It was nominated for an Academy Award.
David Morgado
David Morgado played Jesus in “The Bible” miniseries and earned the nickname “Hot Jesus.” He also starred in the theatrical sequel, “Son of God.” His latest project is “The Messengers,” an ensemble drama from writer/co-exec producers Basil Iwanyk and Eoghan O’Donnell. It centers around a crash of a mysterious object that leaves five strangers with supernatural powers. They must work to save the world from the coming apocalypse.
Juan Pablo di Pace
The actor who played Jesus in the hit miniseries The Bible has been cast in a new show on NBC, A.D. The Bible Continues. Set to premiere on Easter Sunday, this new drama is the sequel to the acclaimed miniseries The Bible. The series is produced by Roma Downey and Mark Burnett and will star Juan Pablo di Pace.
Claude Heater
In 1959, Claude Heater was cast as Jesus Christ in the movie Ben-Hur. His role was not recognized in the film’s credits, as his face was never shown. Heater’s voice, however, was noted by Henigson.
Jim Caviezel
Jim Caviezel is an actor who became famous for his role in “The Passion of the Christ.” Now, the actor returns to the biblical genre with a new film, “Paul, Apostle of Christ,” which opens in theaters on March 23. In his previous role, he played Jesus in Mel Gibson’s film The Passion of the Christ, which earned over $600 million worldwide. The film was controversial due to the film’s anti-semitic overtones, but Caviezel has remained an outspoken Catholic and continues to perform religious-themed projects.
