Raymond Brothers
With over 15 years of experience in theatre and film, Raymond Brothers is a truly gifted actor who plays the part of Jesus in the film.

Rupert Stutchbury
Rupert plays the part of Fr. Storm, a man who will do anything in the name of God. Fr. Storm is an evil, vindictive, powerful priest that has no redeeming qualities. When casting for the part we needed an actor who wasn't afraid to go to some dark places. The second we heard Rupert, we knew he was perfect for the part. Rupert is a truly gifted actor who brought a level of professionalism that rubbed off on everyone. He has acted in countless plays but this is his first time acting in a film. After the film is released, I'm certain you’re going to be seeing a lot more of Rupert Stutchbury.
Joe Lyons
The character Fr. Owen, a young man who has dedicated his life to the church, is torn between his faith and his heart. The part was written for Joe Lyons - we just made him audition for fun. There are many layers to the Fr. Owen character; even though what he's doing is wrong, we don't dislike him. Instead we feel sorry for him. Joe has acted in a number of short films and plays, most recently playing the main part in the TG4 series ‘Ealú'
Lisa Ní Laoire (Lisa O' Leary)
Lisa plays the part of Maggie, Jesus' love interest. As well as acting, Lisa has made large strides in the area of theatre direction. Bringing a subtle serenity to the role required for playing the girlfriend of a doomed deity, Lisa provides a graceful female foil to the predominantly male cast.
