on film the best? I see M. Night Shamalan will release a movie called "Devil" soon.

Given his track record lately, it's probably not going to be a great film, but it did make me think of some of the actors who have portrayed Satan, Jesus and God.
I thought Viggo Mortensen did a good Satan in "The Prophecy"
I haven't really liked any of the actors who've played God (though George Burns was really probably old enough) Morgan Freeman did it, Jim Carrey was Bruce Almighty, and wasn't Alanis Morissette God in "Dogma"?
I didn't care for Mel Gibson's "Passion". Not only was Satan a girl,but it was just too bloody and I don't really care for Jim Caviezel. The demon baby was pretty creepy, though.
So, do you have any favorite portrayals of God, Jesus or Satan?
Also, if you've never seen it here in the states, there was a British series called "God Almighty" in which different celebrities took turns being God each week and said what they would change or not change about the world. It was quite interesting. It's on youtube now.

Does anyone remember Tim Curry in "Legend" ? The special effects were cheesy, but that Satan voice of Tim's was awesome.
