You've no doubt seen this elsewhere, but Jim Caviezel, slated to play Jesus in the controversial new movie about the Passion that Mel Gibson is producing, managed to be hit by lightning, along with the film's assistant director.
He, though, had been struck already.
I don't get the casting, though. I like Caviezel, and he might actually suit for one or two of my RPG characters (especially Marcus)...but Jesus?
Sure, I know the actor is more important than the appearance...but to give you another example, would you expect Sean Connery to play Iago? Or Ice-T to play Charles Foster Kane?
Then again, as much as I like (and have a thing for) Monica Belucci, I don't think she's right for Mary Magdalene, either. Now Milli Avital (sp?), the actress who played the love interest in the movie version of Stargate...now SHE has the look.
