![]() Go down the list of the cast and you'll see all the familiar Roman names from that soap opera on the Tiber and as a for instance James Mason as Tiberius, Ian McShane as Sejanus, and Richard Kiley as Claudius pale in comparison to George Baker, Patrick Stewart, and Derek Jacobi in those same roles. In fact as good as AD is all of the people portrayed here were done better elsewhere. ![]() ![]() Both also give good performances though I would rate what Anthony Hopkins and Robert Foxworth did in Peter And Paul better. As the action takes place over a 30 year period, both men due to some good makeup work age gracefully over the series. Around them primarily the early Christian Church was established. British players Dennis Quilley and Philip Sayer play the two main protagonists of the story Peter and Paul. It's certainly a daunting project to tackle. Try mixing the events of I Claudius, Peter And Paul, and then Quo Vadis at the end you have the 6 hour AD. This was definitely too large a subject to be confined to one film either on the big or small screen. The producers of AD certainly found the right format for their product, a mini-series.
