The Bible producers deny its Satan resembles President Obama
The producers of the History Channel’s The Bible have fended off claims that the actor who plays Satan in the miniseries resembles President Barack Obama.
Executive producers Mark Burnett, who created Survivor, and his wife, the actress Roma Downey, described the comparisons as “utter nonsense.”
“Both Mark and I have nothing but respect and love for our president, who is a fellow Christian. False statements such as these are just designed as a foolish distraction to try and discredit the beauty of the story of the Bible,” according to a March 18 statement from Downey, who starred in the television show Touched by an Angel.
