    Robert, At this time, I'm watching "Jesus of Nazareth," which my lady friend & I watch every year. You, along with the other actors did a remarkable preformance which was very truthful to the Bible and very "life-like" along with eye opening. More people should watch this every Easter. Maybe the world would change for the better... Maybe not. Keep up the good work and may God Bless You and all those who played in that movie. "Irene" Galford Mrenak
