Ted Rusoff est un Acteur et Scénariste Américain
Ted Rusoff (born 1939 in Winnipeg, Canada – died September 28, 2013 in Rome) was an American actor, musician, voice dubbing artist, writer of film-scripts, poetry, and fiction, opera-coach and stage-director, adaptor/translator from and into various languages of synchronized dialogue for the dubbing of films and cartoons.
As a dubbing director he is known for his extensive work for the English-language versions of foreign — predominantly Italian — films. He has also sync-adapted, acted in, and directed the dubbing of films shot in Turkish, Finnish, Greek, Danish, Hebrew, and Korean as well as the standard European cinema languages.
Rusoff started his career as a singer, appearing in operas, musical comedies, and on the road in various cities in the USA and Canada with his guitar during the folk-singing boom of the late 1950s and early 1960s. He specialized in songs in many foreign languages, including Ghanaian and Maori. He also appeared in nearly all the Gilbert and Sullian operas, doing a wide variety of roles. He toured with a trio called The Catch Club, along with his fellow music-students from UCLA, David Reznick and Larry Pack. They sang catches, or rounds, from the English Restoration period, and appeared throughout North America and recorded an album. He traveled to Europe in 1963 and, using his knowledge of languages, began overseeing the dubbings into Italian, French, and German of films that had been shot in English and produced in America by American International Pictures, the company that had been founded by his uncle, Samuel Z. Arkoff. Since then, he has worked as sync-adapter and dubbing director of more than 500 films, and as a dubber his voice can be heard in more than 1300 films, providing the voice for numerous leading men as well as many villains in a number of Italian cult favorites such as The Whip and the Body (1963), Deep Red (1975), Beyond the Darkness (1979) and many others. He has also worked extensively dubbing films into Italian and French, often supplying foreign languages or accents.
Since the early 1980s, Rusoff has also done much work as an actor in film and television. He started out with supporting roles - often playing authority figures or religious characters such as priests, rabbis or monks. His earliest film roles were in Joe d'Amato's horror film Absurd (1981) and in Marco Ferreri's Tales of Ordinary Madness (1981), based on the works of Charles Bukowski, and Franco Zeffirelli's "La Traviata" alongside Plácido Domingo (1981). He also acted together with his wife, Carolynn de Fonseca, in the Pia Zadora starring vehicle The Lonely Lady (1983), and he and de Fonseca played husband and wife, the parents of Mussolini's mistress Claretta Petacci in the TV miniseries Mussolini and I (1985), with Bob Hoskins in the title role.
Throughout the rest of the 1980s and 1990s, Rusoff acted in some low-budget B-movies such as Catacombs (1988), where he plays a monk; Sinbad of the Seven Seas (1989) with Lou Ferrigno, where he plays the keeper of the torture chamber; and the Jean-Claude Van Damme flick Double Team (1997), where he again plays a monk, this time one who is also a computer-genius. However, he also had roles in many acclaimed films such as Martin Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ (1988), alongside Max von Sydow in the TV movie Cellini: A Violent Life (1991), in which he played Pope Paul III, Tinto Brass' The Voyeur (1994) and, in a film about the life of Pope John XXIII, The Good Pope (2002), as a rabbi working with Bob Hoskins (playing Angelo Roncalli, the future pope) in his efforts to free a shipload of Jews in Istanbul and send them to Israel. Rusoff also played the Chief Elder in Mel Gibson's film The Passion of the Christ (2004) and Julius Caesar's Greek slave Strabo in the popular TV series Rome (2005–2007). As an actor he has so far appeared in more than 70 films. Fluent in many languages, he is often called upon for work as language/accent/dialogue consultant for dubbings, theater, and cinema. He has worked many times as a stage-director for regular plays and as stage-director and music-coach for opera in houses in Marseilles, Copenhagen, Munich, Prague, Riga, Montivideo, Tokyo, Auckland, and elsewhere. He has been active as a choral director, known for his "Liebslieder Waltzes" and other choral masterpieces by Brahms, as well as the music of composers of the Baroque period.

A wealthy ranch owner Mr. Paul (Brett Halsey) hires Print to eliminate a Dutch immigrant brothel owner Heinrich Kley (Dan Van Husen)who allegedly aborts the unborn children of his prostitutes, as well as to train a young ranch hand named Lee in the art of killing. Print decides to use Lee to infiltrate Kley's business and work for Kley as protection, purposefully luring a posse of cowboys into the brothel in order to murder them, and show off his usefulness. Kley immediately enlists Print to cover a wide variety of duties while entrusting him with his unique philosophy regarding business, religion, and the necessity of prostitution.

Le film s'ouvre sur une scène de flashforward mettant en scène le massacre des Innocents. Un an avant cet évènement, à Jérusalem, Zacharie reçoit une vision de l'archange Gabriel, qui lui annonce que sa femme Élisabeth donnera naissance à un fils malgré leur vieillesse. Dans le même temps, à Nazareth, la jeune Marie est fiancée sur décision de ses parents — Anne et Joachim — à un charpentier nommé Joseph. Peu de temps après, Marie est visitée par l'archange Gabriel, qui lui annonce qu'elle tombera enceinte du fils de Dieu et qu'elle devra le nommer Jésus. Il lui révèle par ailleurs que sa cousine Élisabeth est également enceinte. Après en avoir reçu l'autorisation de ses parents, elle s'en va rendre visite à cette dernière, qui connaît miraculeusement l'origine divine de sa grossesse. Marie assiste ensuite à la naissance de Jean-Baptiste, puis revient à Nazareth enceinte, à la grande stupéfaction de Joseph et de ses parents, qui craignent que celui-ci l'accuse de fornication, un péché punissable de lapidation selon la Loi mosaïque. Au début, Joseph ne croit pas Marie mais décide toutefois de ne pas l'accuser. Dans la nuit, il reçoit à son tour la visite de l'archange Gabriel, qui lui parle du plan de Dieu pour le fils de Marie, conçu par le Saint-Esprit. Joseph croit alors Marie et lui demande pardon d'avoir douter d'elle.

Les douze dernières heures de la vie de Jésus de Nazareth, la Passion : Jésus prie au mont des Oliviers et résistant à la tentation de Satan. Capturé par les autorités juives, Jésus est ensuite flagellé après sa dénonciation par Judas auprès du Grand Prêtre Caïphe et de sa cour. On voit ensuite son jugement par le préfet romain Ponce Pilate et son passage devant Hérode aboutissant à sa condamnation à mort. Le film est entrecoupé de flash back sur les moments principaux de la vie publique du Christ, comme le Sermon des Béatitudes. Le film s'achève par la montée de Jésus au Calvaire, sa crucifixion avec Marie et Marie-Madeleine pour témoins, puis sa résurrection.
