\u2026THE NEXT VOICE YOU HEAR<\/strong>: Casting actors to do the voices for the New Testament<\/a>. They\u2019re having some trouble casting Satan, apparently. (Via Ratty<\/a>.) I totally can\u2019t help myself, so I\u2019m going to have some fun here and do my own casting (in utter innocence of the laws of time and space). Keep in mind that I really liked<\/em> Edward G. Robinson in \u201cThe Ten Commandments,\u201d and I don\u2019t care what you say!<\/p>\n

Satan<\/strong>: actual possibility: John Malkovich. He has the ability to sound really frighteningly elsewhere<\/em>, like there\u2019s nothing going on behind his eyes: chalky and dissociated.
crack-addled possibility: Jennifer Saunders.<\/p>\n

Peter<\/strong>: Edward G. Robinson. You heard me.<\/p>\n

Paul<\/strong>: Cary Grant? I mean, Paul does keep telling you he\u2019s a Roman citizen\u2026. He\u2019d be a decent Herod though, too. I could also see Lee Marvin as a very different take on Paul.<\/p>\n

Judas<\/strong>: Tony Curtis. \u201cMatch me, Sidney.\u201d<\/p>\n

Herodias<\/strong>: Katharine Hepburn. (I know, she has one line in the actual Bible. Still!)<\/p>\n

John the Baptist<\/strong>: \u2026Johnny Cash?<\/p>\n

Mary<\/strong>: I\u2026 I have no idea. Candace Hilligoss???<\/p>\n

Narrator<\/strong>: I\u2019d want either someone light-voiced, intimidated, in-over-his-head (Danny Kaye???), or passionate and I-don\u2019t-care-what-you-think (Joanna Lumley?? Spike Lee???).<\/p>\n
