The Ten Commandments (2006)

Starring Dougray Scott (Moses), Naveen Andrews (Menerith), Omar Sharif (Jethro).

While the special effects in this made-for-TV mini-series are not movie quality, Scott’s acting provides a convincing Moses, described in the Bible as “slow of speech and slow of tongue.” In the “Burning Bush” scene, Moses stutters: “Don’t send me—don’t send me—I am not a person you need—I can’t do this—I can’t do this!”
