how can any logical person NOT think it was deliberate?
obviously producers, directors, casting agents etc. had to know the core audience will be christian conservatives...so does it really come as any surprise?
especially when in this series jesus is being portrayed by a european white guy?
Jesus is often depicted as a European white guy.
I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but this is what the guy looks like out of costume:
Not really Obama's long lost twin.
I was going to say the same thing before I saw your post. How did they know what he was going to look like during auditions? he obviously looks nothing like his character on the show.
non-issue. NEXT.

in that case they had to expect the audience to believe jesus looked like a white soap opera star...
Jesus is often made to look like a white soap opera star. That is not anything new.
A personal favorite:
the point is logical ppl would expect something from the history channel to at least try reflect some degree of historical accuracy...since they are passing it off as history. the bible thumpers will conclude it follows along with and supports their narrow (likely errouneous) views
if i was a christian i'd be more inclined to believe phil hartman was jesus

The Bible is a strange choice of subject matter for the History Channel. No argument there.
people certainly see what they want to see and hear what they want to hear. I don't remember a crisis from The Passion of the Christ when the devil was damn near albino, and according to another thread here those people don't even want beers named after Rhino's with the same affliction.
For what it is worth, I don't think people were sitting around in make up saying make him look like President Obama.

oh yeah thanks for this pic I was wondering if I had watched it if it would have even occurred
to me the actor looked like our President. I'm think probably not.
I also think many none Christians/ non religious will watch this series.
It's not a conspiracy after all
