“Weird Al” Yankovic, who resurrected his recording career with a No. 1 album in July, has long resembled Jesus, and now he’s playing him in The Moving Picture Co. 1914, a 22-minute silent film directed by triple Emmy winner Mark Kirkland, who directed around 80 episodes of The Simpsons.

Re: Al Plays Jesus in Silent Short Film!
Here is another article about the movie, which shows a pic of Al as Jesus, playing an accordion. There is also a short video in which Al appears. Gotta love it!
Boy, I wish I still had that accordion smiley Adrian made for me.
(It was pretty cool, but if you don't have it anymore, it's alright).

Re: Al Plays Jesus in Silent Short Film!
I know the article suggested this as a possibility, but just to nip this one in the bud before anyone gets their hopes up: there are no acting awards for short films at the Oscars. The film itself could win Best Live Action Short Film, but no individual actor has a chance.Muppetboy09 wrote:Haha, I would die if he won an Oscar...before Leonardo DiCaprio!!!

Also he's technically playing an actor who is playing Jesus.

Apparently, there is a screening of this film tonight, as well as a podcast taping, with filmmaker Mark Kirkland and his father, Douglas Kirkland. You have the register, which you can down on this page, but it's free.
