[Director
Cyrus Nowrasteh, on casting Adam as Jesus Christ in
O Jovem Messias (2016)] I had a much more difficult task than any other Biblical movie ever made, and I'll tell you what that is. My movie hangs on a seven-year-old... We did a global search... The child we ended up with, Adam Greaves-Neal, is from London. And I can tell you with great confidence that there was no other child that was even in the ballpark in comparison to him in terms of performance and capability... Adam is English, but he has dark brown hair and brown eyes. He's Catholic, but on his mother's side of the family they are part Jewish. I think it works.
