Bela Lugosi as Jesus Christ

Here are some startling photos of Hungarian actor Bela Lugosi costumed as Jesus Christ. Lugosi played Jesus in a Passion Play in 1909. Bela looks partially Aryan and partially Jewish in these photos. Lugosi probably had at least one or two Jewish grandparents, since he was a Hollywood actor, but he was raised Roman Catholic and is buried in Holy Cross cemetery. People who have seen the photos agree Lugosi looks very much like the iconic image of Jesus.
