Jeremy Sisto, “Jesus” (1999)
The other 1999 miniseries about the life of Christ, though suffering from some of the same shortcomings as “Mary, The Mother of Christ,” was probably the more successful of the two. Desperately afraid of courting the kind of controversy that greeted “The Last Temptation,” the film is inoffensive to a fault. Still, credit should be given to the always-willing Sisto for doing his best with what is always a tough role, made even tougher by a refusal to give the man an edge.
