Glenn Beck / Twitter His right-wing critics were probably nodding sagely in approval – but Barack Obama may have reason to feel aggrieved after hit American mini-series The Bible cast an actor with a striking resemblance to the US President in a key role – Satan.
Viewers in the USA were left bemused following the first appearance of actor Mehdi Ouzaani in role of the Devil in the glossy History Channel series, which has become a surprise hit with American audiences, attracting 13.1 million viewers for a recent episode.
Right-wing commentator Glenn Beck was among the first to note the actor’s resemblance to the 44 president of the United States, tweeting that the Devil as portrayed on screen “looks exactly like That Guy”. The TV personality, a vociferous critic of Obama, has vowed not to say the president’s name all year and referring to him as “That Guy” ever since.
The Bible, produced by British-born Mark Burnett, the man behind the American versions of The Voice and Celebrity Apprentice has already been criticised for the dubiously good-looking cast of actors selected to play biblical characters in the series. However, its slick production values and religious theme has won over millions of viewers in the USA.
The series retells bible stories from Genesis through to Revelation, the last book of the New Testament, in a scripted format.
Mr Burnett has told Entertainment Weekly that “the hand of God” was on the series.

We have been watching this from day one. We NEVER thought of satan as a 'look a like'!! Wonder why the LAME STREAM MEDIA didn't notice the lookalike of King Harod who sure looked like NJ's Christy!!! REALLY!!
It's just like the LAME STREAM MEDIA to inject politics into a christian/religious movie!!!
Funny tho how the LAME STREAM MEDIA didn't make mention of how the Jews...before Christ....killed just about every breathing thing that stood in their way. Part I and part II in this series was just about as violent as you could get. The muslims have nothing on the old testiment jews when it comes to violence!! OMG!
How come the LAME STREAM MEDIA didn't pick up on that one??? DIMWITS!

'Bible' producers: Obama-Satan resemblance 'nonsense,' actor Mehdi Ouzaani highly acclaimed http://www.newsday.com/enterta.....-acclaimed-1.4833941 C&P: "In a carwreck that could only happen at the intersection of Television Boulevard and Internet Drive, the History Channel has been forced to release a statement debunking online speculation that the actor who plays Satan on their new series, "The Bible," was purposely chosen because he looks like President Barack Obama.
History Channel statement: History Channel has the highest respect for President Obama. The series was produced with an international and diverse cast of respected actors. It's unfortunate that anyone made this false connection. History˜The Bible™ is meant to enlighten people on its rich stories and deep history."
"Burnett: This is utter nonsense. The actor who played Satan, Mehdi Ouzaani, is a highly acclaimed Moroccan actor. He has previously played parts in several Biblical epics -- including satanic characters long before Barack Obama was elected as our president."
JUST BECAUSE SISSY SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO...BUT HE THINKS IT DOES!!!!! JUST BECAUSE MC1 SAYS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO!!!!!
