Stare Down
Who played the Roman soldier, who got stared down by Jesus, in the drinking water scene, in the 1959 version of Ben-Hur?
Thanks................Dave
A beautiful and powerful scene.

According to the YouTube comments, he was an extra who caught the eye of the director and never acted again afterward.
Thanks Jack.
That extra, if from what you said, never did anymore acting, certainly nailed his small bit that time. A beautiful and powerful scene. That also, pretty well nails it.
I just sat here and watched this epic movie once again. I never get tired of it. I first saw it on the big screen when it was first released. I was 12 years old. During the overture I thought, "boring! let's get on with it!" But when I walked out of that theatre, I felt just like I had, after seeing The Greatest Show On Earth, at the drive-in with my mom and dad years before when I was only 5 years old. Truly epic stuff.
Thanks again..........Dave
