Who has played Joseph Smith on film? Everybody from Vincent Price to Dean Cain. A BYU professor appraises the performances and the movies.
“He’s my wife’s favorite Joseph Smith — she says he’s the cutest,” Griffiths said, acknowledging that Scarfe “is really charismatic.”,” Griffiths said Scarfe “kind of captured the wonder … and this openness. ‘I can’t believe this happened to me, but it’s happening to me.’ And as someone who is coming from outside of church culture, I thought he did a really good job investing in the character.
Griffiths said Mitchell “really does a nice job portraying Joseph as a human figure, as an emotional person.” In his research, he also learned Mitchell in his private life spends more time as a youth minister than as an actor, matching “that pastoral spirit that a lot of people like to associate with Joseph Smith.”Griffiths had no comment on this hammy anti-Mormon melodrama, which depicted the Mountain Meadows Massacre and laid the blame largely on Brigham Young .
