    Obama-Devil resemblance on 'The Bible' sets off firestorm
    By Tim Molloy
    TheWrap

    The resemblance between President Obama and an actor who plays the devil on History's "The Bible" has drawn more than a little notice.

    Conservative commentator Glenn Beck was among the first to take to Twitter to point out the resemblance between Obama and actor Mohamen Mehdi Ouzanni. A slew of tweets and news stories ensued, many from Obama supporters who weren't pleased.

    Bing: Mark Burnett says God was present on set of 'The Bible'

    History did not immediately respond to a request for comment from TheWrap.

    In the miniseries, the actor resembles an older version of the U.S. president. Last year, HBO's "Game of Thrones" came under criticism when its executive producers said in a DVD commentary that a fake head of President George W. Bush was impaled on a spike in one scene.

    "The Bible" has been a huge hit for History, drawing 13.1 million for its first episode and 10.8 million for its second. It is executive produced by "Survivor" creator Mark Burnett.

    Last week, one of its executive producers, Scott Sassa, resigned as Hearst's entertainment and syndication president after what the New York Post described as a sexting scandal involving a stripper.
