Trivia

Born into a Jewish family, Niko Nitai migrated to Israel as he was always impressed with the Theatre at such a young age.

His voice in the 1979 Jesus film is dubbed over by an unknown British voice actor.

Paul Eshelman's book "I Just Saw Jesus" claims Niko Nitai became a born again Christian. This isn't true as Nitai is a devout Jew and he also publicly stated he wasn't fond of the Jesus film and hated that his voice was dubbed over in the American release.
