Please, enlighten me....



....was he or was he not casted as Judas Iscariot in some production ? For i've seen him in some movies already, and at first i had him noted in my mind as " The Judas, guy...." However, i searched at his filmography, yet to no avail....no such role....Have i comfuse him with an other actor, perhaps ?

You might be thinking of Ian McShane. He played Judas in Franco Zeffirelli's 'Jesus of Nazareth' in 1977. Rufus and Ian have a similar look.

Here's a page of photos from that performance:
