Wanna know more about Diogo Morgado? Heres some information and answers to commonly asked questions about this talented actor/director. Diogo Miguel Morgado Soares (his full name) was born on January 17, 1981 in Lisbon, Portugal. (according to Diogos own Facebook Page, his Twitter Page from 2011 and now his corrected IMDb page.) Though Diogo first gained recognition in the United States with his brilliant performance of Jesus in the epic series, The Bible, Diogo is actually an established, very successful actor in his native country of Portugal for many years now. While he told Oprah of his fame in Portugal, I am known there, Diogo has in fact been an actor in Portugal since he was 15, after modeling for about a year. But he has also said that he didnt decide he wanted to pursue it fully until he was 21. Many Portuguese fans say his breakout role was in 2000 in the Portuguese network SIC TVs first tele-film, Amo-te Teresa. You can read more about his acting career prior to The Bible here: Diogo Morgardo -- Bio and you can see the full list of his credits on his official IMDb page here: Diogo Morgado - IMDb. American audiences will be thrilled to know that Diogo has already filmed two movies slated for release in the United States some time in 2013.... an action movie called Born to Race: Fast Track and a crime drama called Red Butterfly. Both films are still in post production and do not have release dates yet, but please check out my Born to Race: Fast Track page and Red Butterfly page for updates please. Diogo has said he speaks Portuguese, English, Spanish, and some French. Diogo has said that he grew up in the Christian faith, and that playing Jesus deepened that faith. Diogo has said the most difficult scene for him to film in The Bible was the Crucifixion, which he said took 3 days to film. Diogo has said his favorite scene in The Bible is The Last Supper. When asked what his favorite Bible verse was during a recent Twitter chat, Diogo responded: I am the way, the truth and the Life. Diogo has said the first scene he filmed first for The Bible was the being tempted by Satan scene with the snake, and the last scene he filmed was the scene on the road to Damascus with Paul. Recognize that voice? OnOprahs Next Chapter, Roma Downey & Mark Burnett revealed that Diogo was also the voice of God in some of the Old Testament scenes in The Bible, including the Burning Bush scene with Moses. When asked often if anything unusual happened to him while filming The Bible playing Jesus, Diogo has said that he was the only cast member who didnt get sick the entire 4 months they shot the series in Ouarzazate, Morocco.
