There are various christian programs and films such as The Bible Series, The Passion of the Christ, Noah, Heaven is for Real and Exodus which is coming out. These films are based on the Bible. Now, would it be considered blasphemy for actors to play characters such as Jesus or the voice of God in these films? I'm sure it's not the filmmaker's intention but, to recreate the crucifixion of Jesus and having somebody play God's voice, I don't know.... I don't know if this is extreme or not.

No, any person with Comon sense knows that it is just acting and as far as they can, make a faithful representation of the Gospels, No Blasphemy is intended
It's a film a portrayal and I thank God for it no one thinks it's really God speaking we know they are acting and the actor knows they are not God surely??? So how can it be blasphemy??
The bible in ancient times was passed on here in the UK by stage players acting the parts as only noble people could read.
One concern that might enter into blasphemy is the poetic licence taken in such films They are seldom biblically correct and when they are correct in part like the flogging in Passion of the Christ for eg there is a public outcry about the violence portrayed.
"Now, would it be considered blasphemy for actors to play characters such as Jesus or the voice of God in these films?"
It would depend on the motives of the actors, the directors, or anyone involved in the project and how faithful they are attempting to be to God's inerrant word of the Bible.
I personally don't care for films about Jesus, but that's just me. Because often the director's personal agenda slants the film. But to call them "blasphemy" is a bit strong, unless they put in some weird, clearly anti-biblical stuff, like portraying Jesus as married with a family, or homosexual, or whatever.
Don't watch such films if you don't like them. I don't. It's a choice.
No such thing: we have all freedom. To create. And then for people to watch or not to watch.
