Kristen Bell, Brian Cox, Other Actors Surprised by 15-Year-Old Voice Recordings Used in Fox News Jesus Podcast
"The trailer and website for the The Life of Jesus Podcast say each of the 52 episodes will be introduced by Fox News host Ainsley Earhardt and the cast features more than 100 actors including: Sean Astin (Matthew), Kristen Bell (Mary Magdalene), Neal McDonough (Jesus), Blair Underwood (Mark), Malcolm McDowell (Caiaphas), Stacy Keach (John), Hill Harper (Angel of the Lord), Julia Ormond (Mother Mary), Michael York (Luke), Brian Cox (Voice of God) and John Rhys-Davies (Narrator)."
"However, as Rolling Stone reported, the announcement of the podcast blindsided the actors, who originally recorded their audio for an entirely different project 15 years ago, a New Testament audiobook called The Truth and Life Dramatized Audio Bible, from 2010. One of the producers for that audiobook entered into a partnership agreement with Gulfstream Studios, which then licensed The Life of Jesus Podcast to Fox Faith."
"Brian recorded audio for a project over a decade ago. He was unaware that the audio would be repurposed for a new podcast series in 2025. Brian only became aware of the podcast today."
The Life of Jesus Podcast is presented as a 52-episode series introduced by Ainsley Earhardt and featuring more than 100 named actors in dramatized New Testament roles. Many credited performers say the audio originates from a 2010 dramatized New Testament audiobook, recorded for The Truth and Life Dramatized Audio Bible, and was repurposed without their knowledge. One producer of the original audiobook formed a partnership with Gulfstream Studios, which licensed the repurposed series to Fox Faith. Several actors and their representatives state they were not informed and did not give permission before the audio was reused.
