Burnett was executive producer for several successful reality TV shows such as "Survivor," "Shark Tank," "The Apprentice," and "The Voice." Downey, his wife, was the star of the hit television series "Touched by an Angel."
"A.D. The Bible Continues" will feature Argentinian actor Juan Pablo di Pace playing Jesus. The other major Biblical characters are played by actors drawn from around the world.
