The four-hour miniseries of “Ben-Hur” has cast Joseph Morgan, Emily VanCamp and Stephen Campbell Moore, with Morgan playing the title role of a wealthy Jewish man living during the time of Jesus Christ, the Hollywood Reporter says. VanCamp will play his love interest, Esther, while Moore will play Ben-Hur’s friend Messala, who betrays him, the trade paper says. The $22 million project, which will air on ABC, also has cast Hugh Bonneville as Pontius Pilate, Ray Winstone as Ben-Hur’s adoptive father and Kristen Kruek as Ben-Hur’s sister, the publication says.
