Item 2 of 5

Prince Royce as Peter

"I'm not playing the normal Prince Royce who takes his shirt off and gets the girls screaming. This is a much more serious role. My mom is flying out. I grew up going to church every Sunday, and she's always worried about the entertainment industry and, oh my God, drugs! I think this makes her feel better."

Austin Hargrave

Item 3 of 5

Chris Daughtry as Judas

"When I first was approached, I wasn't interested," says Daughtry, 36. Was it the role? "No. I don't know if Anders thought I look like an asshole who would betray his best friend, but it's exciting to play a bad guy -- that was a selling point."

Austin Hargrave
4 / 5
Item 4 of 5

Jencarlos Canela as Jesus

"Jesus knew what it was to work his butt off," says Canela. "He felt anger; he felt the deepest fear anyone could feel. I want to portray him as more human than we've ever seen."

Executive Producer/Music Arranger Adam Anders

Anders insists their interpretation will be reverent: "I'm a pastor's kid, and I have a cheese alarm that goes off easily. I knew I couldn't have the disciples breakdancing."
