In a column by Louella Parsons (dated July 31, 1958), the very difficult task of casting the role of Jesus in Ben-Hur has been completed in Rome and came about in a most unusual way. Henry Hennigson, production manager, went to the concert of a young American singer in Rome and heard Claude Heater, whose voice is not only magnificent but he has a "beautiful, spiritual face." Hennigson told William Wyler and Sam Zimbalist about young Heater and as a result he was tested and given the role.[citation needed]
The role of Jesus was concealed or shown in the rear view for the film. However, in the 1993 documentary "Ben-Hur: The Making of An Epic," Claude Heater's face was shown in a costume test photo only once

Christopher Pike in the original pilot episode of Star Trek.
