Ruth = Salma Hayek
Jezebel = Catherine Zeta Jones
Peter = Victor Garber
Judas = Alan Rickman
Mary (mother of Jesus) = Natalie Portman
Richard Harris (may he rest in peace) should play the aged Eli, right before he falls off his chair and breaks his neck after he's been told that the Philistines stole the ark and that his sons are dead. Man, what a hardcore way to die when you are 98 years old.

Oh, and I have a friend who has red curly hair, has sideburns (which are curly, too), and sports Rob Bell-ish glasses. I'm not sure he is rocking the 'stache right now, but he has before.

I actually do picture David as a redhead. The Bible described him as ruddy, and I guess I always associated that with reddish hair.

So how do you feel about paintings of Adam and Eve with bellybuttons?! I’m convinced they didn’t have any, but every painting and illustration I see of them, there they are! Considering WHY we have them, I don’t see why they would!

Ok, so i came here solely to nitpick for my "homeboy", Paul, but have others too:

" Matthew said...
I agree that Danny Devito might be a good candidate for the Apostle Paul considering this physical description of him in the Aprocryphal Second Century "Acts of Paul":
"A man small of stature, with a bald head and crooked legs, in a good state of body, with eyebrows meeting and nose somewhat hooked."So maybe you're in good company with the unibrow??

Keep in mind that Paul, at least in his "golden" years had been no stranger to times of food scarcity, so he might call for a thinner build. After much consideration, i'd go with Armin Shimerman. Unless of course Zacheeus needs an actor, in which case Armin would own that part. Robin Williams also comes to mind.

Noah- Mark Harmon.

Moses- For some reason Richard Schiff keeps coming to the casting call in my mind.

David- Luke Perry for the younger version, David McCallum older.

Goliath- Ted Cassidy.

Samson- Malcolm Jamal-Warner.

So, your Kings of Leon and Flight of the Conchords references make me incredibly happy. Just so you know.

Goliath? How about Jaws from James Bond Movies? or the Giant from Princess Bride.

I don’t really care who plays what part, but I thought the Noah in the Noah’s Ark puzzle was fantastic. I mean, who DOES that look like. The glasses are hilarious. I’m laughing aloud at work, and it’s a problem.

Noah - Jerry Stiller

Moses - Mel Brooks

Paul (Saul, actually) - Al Pacino

David - The red headed guy who played Dick Williams in the Band of Brothers series. Hey, if he can save Europe surely he can kill Goliath and lead Isrel.

Goliath - Mike Myers, as he can do about anything (reference 'My Mother is an Axe Murderer')
