Interestingly, 2 years earlier, he had a small non speaking part in "Tommy" by "The Who." (He was Tommy's father.) In a strange way, this almost foreshadows his taking the role of JESUS in "Jesus of Nazareth" (1977).

The movie blessed my life quite recently and I really like it so much that I keep watching it over and over again. It helps me to memorise Scriptures. I am a visual learner.

The "Highlight " of your career must have been your truly awe inspiring portrayal of our Lord Jesus Christ . In my lifetime it has to be the single most important piece of acting ever recorded. You brought my Lord and Saviour to life for me and I cannot thank you enough. I feel that the Holy Spirit was imparted through you during the filming of Jesus of Nazareth. You are a very gifted actor, and a true gentleman. Thank you for your stunning portrayal which will always be the greatest portrayal of our Lord Jesus Christ.God Bless you Mr Powell.

I do love the fact that a 10 min interview with Robert about his entire career manages to spend 2 mins on 'The Italian Job' and not 1 second on 'the elephant in the room', but having just rewatched 'J of N' for the first time in 40 years, wondering if it still would have the same impact as it did, and it was BETTER than I remembered, and whilst there are lots of obvious flaws and annoyances with it, the central performance is just mesmerising and deeply moving. I'm sorry but, nothing else I've seen him do comes close, but then why would it?

His best performance was definatley Jesus of Nazareth. He nailed it. Them big blue eyes and his Strong Spiritual prescence. Remarkable Acting.

Robert Powell is a great Actor and Jesus of Nazareth he played well. I believe Jesus Christ guided him through this movie.

I fell in love with "Jesus"...OMG those amazing blue eyes...but I really fell in love with Robert when, on a visit to UK (I m an Aussie) I saw the Detectives...what a hoot..laughed till I cried. Luckily a friend was also a fan and sent me recordings of nearly all of the episodes. I still dig them out now and again and have a good laugh

I love this man!!! He portrayed Jesus so well, in my opinion! He was very real. My Jesus is so important to me! I always seem to see Mr. Powell's face!!!! Thank you so much for doing the film for humanity. I wish more people believed!!!! Tu ❤

I Love Robert Powell this interview is just wonderful, Mr Robert Powell is so down to earth, Mr Robert Powell is an incredible supremely talented Great Actor and his portrayal of Jesus Christ was absolutely spell binding it was just AMAZING, The Power of Mr Robert Powell's acting In Jesus of Nazareth goes beyond INCREDIBLE, he was so convincing as our dear Lord, he brought hope and tears throughout the whole series, a strong Powerful factual TV Series that WILL be part of television history FOREVER, Having had the opportunity to have worked alongside Mr Robert Powell in The Detectives was pure heaven which I will NEVER forget, Mr Robert Powell was so very kind, so Very generous, so very down to earth with me and having the opportunity to have great hugs from the actor who in the past portrayed Jesus was complete HEAVEN, Thank you Robert. God bless you always .

Robert Powell the best !!!

He was fantastic as Jesus! The intense blue eyes!❤ he had a presence a spiritual look. Forgot it was him and was Jesus.😊

His Jesus character made me cry my eyes out. Touched every. Nerve in me. Another brilliant film was 39 steps. He’s just a legend in acting.

Start the movie from the beginning it’s also a MASTERPIECE Just like Mr. Powells just below

So Dashing! Gorgeous Eyes!💖💖😊

This is the truest thing I have heard in decades. Shy people use acting as a way to express themselves and are usually shy. I used it to come out of my shell. Legit.

Perhaps the best portrayal of Jesus ever! He made you believe that he was him! No one knows what Jesus looked like. In fact if you went back in time you could not pick him out by looks alone... But when he spoke... You would know instantly in your heart!

I really value the movie Jesus of Nazareth. I am pretty certain it will remain my favorite Jesus film. I tell others about it. I am 64 now, and I watch parts of it sometimes, when I feel the need to try to picture Jesus visually.. it's just such a work of art. In addition to Robert Powell, I especially like James Farentino as Peter, and the man who played Joseph the carpenter. Also John the Baptist. Michael York

Robert powell eres mi actor de mi ❤️🇨🇱 no me cansaré de verte en semana Santa 💋

It was a little weird for me when I first heard Robert Powell's voice in an interview. I had been so familiar with the Jesus of Nazareth movie for years. I'm so used to that voice speaking the words of Jesus. Then one day I hear that voice, rather than saying "Except a man be born again Nicodemus, he cannot see the kingdom of God", talking about acting projects and performing in front of an audience. Of course the real Jesus Christ didn't have an English accent, but you still can't help but love the job that Mr. Powell did playing Him.

Jesus of Nazareth is hands down the BEST movie chronicling the life of Jesus. A 6.5 hour masterpiece. That and the Passion of The Christ being a close second. Whenever I watch those, every time they hit me in the heart and the gut. So powerful.

Your performance as Jesus in the movie was incredible. I personally don’t think there is any other actor perform as Jesus the way you did . May God bless you

He's got that great English voice

I was an overseas student in Southern England from 2009 to 2012. It was a shame that I didn't get to watch him in a stage play in Portsmouth before I left for my home country :"(. Love him in the 39 steps.

God knew I needed some form of connection to our Lord, because as a kid, I don't know anything about Jesus except for the images of Him in Churches, paintings in our house, and in my mom's prayer booklets :-) And so Jesus to me was just a character out of this world, or imagination.. unreal. And so God showed me "Jesus of Nazareth" when I was about 11. That's the first time I "met" Jesus :-) and knew He is real. I Thank God for that. And thanks to Robert Powell. God used him to be an influence to millions of people, who, because of that movie, were drawn closer to our Lord. I was one of them. If only Robert knows that.

Lovely interview. I’m sorry the film where he portrayed Jesus Christ was not mentioned as Robert Powell played the role magnificently, but it’s significance is largely lost on those who are not Christian. The film and his portrayal of the Lord certainly reawakened my faith and it continues to fill me with awe. But indeed many of his other films and TV roles are terrific. Robert Powell speaks with modesty, sincerity and serenity His voice is a beautiful gift.

Even listening to his voice is eerie, the odd word sounds like Jesus of Nazareth, I know church's with his image on a hallway on the way in, nothing wrong with that I suppose. We don't worship brother Robert, but the Christ story was told very well in those films, that astounding cast could never again be assembled. RIP Franco Zeffirelli who died June 2019, Robert's brother was an atheist and went to see Jesus and saw his brother and converted. People got to know scriptures because of those movies. Among my top 3 ever favourites. Thank you Robert

There's plenty wrong with using Robert Powell's image in Church! That is idolatry. Respect his performance, but don't use his imagery for worship.

I was a about 12, I think when Jesus of Nazareth came out. I was mesmerized by his portrayal of Jesus. It used to be on every Easter. My most favourite Easter movie ever made.

Maybe because of poor volume but could hardly understand a word she said. I've only seen him in a couple of films but his portrayal of Jesus was truly inspired.

LEGEND!!!!!

I just love this super adorable man. He's nailed the act of Jesus perfectly, all his movements were natural and convincing, nothing he did on screen, was forced. Whom one saw in the title role of Zeffirelli's mini-serial, was a revolutioner, due to sweep the delusion away that any illusoric view or bad habit, if becomes a convenience, is harmless. And now, he's a donator and a returning reader at Keats Community Library in London, altogether with his faithful co-worker Lee Montague (originally Leonard Goldberg!) and Michael Palin, the star of Monty Python films.

the most beautiful (Jesus film) ever made, is yours. And I'm so thankful to be grown up with this movie!

The thing that amazed me about his performance as Jesus was how he NEVER blinked. Watch it again sometime and pay attention: he never blinks. And that makes his eyes all the more stunning.

When he portrayed Jesus and he went to the Jordan River to be baptized, I can still picture it now, they showed his face, my mom started to cry because you resembled (what most photos represent) Jesus to look like. Remarkable.
