Dougray Scott Fears Commandment ControversyActor Dougray Scott fears the latest version of The 10 Commandments may spark controversy because it's so intensely violent.Scott plays Moses in the two-part mini-series that airs on the Us Abc network on 10-11 April (06) and he feels the religious, as well as violent, subject matter is sure to upset some viewers. He explains, "I kind of thought it might be controversial because it's so brutal and violent. All I can say is, everything we filmed happened in the Bible."When it comes to the religious subject matter, Scott adds, "You can never satisfy everyone. Whatever you do, someone is going to find fault or be offended by it."As far as playing Moses, the Mission: Impossible II star says he was surprised by "how rageful, lonely and paranoid Moses was - how dictatorial - all the different colours."I must say, doing this opened my eyes to the brutality of the time".
