The guy who played Buffalo Bill in Silence of the Lambs might do it.

I've always pictured God as more of a DJ Quall type character.

Maybe. He was a scary motherfucker.

I'll second Samuel L. Jackson. The guy played Mace Windu, for fuck's sake. He already played God.

Morgan Freeman is god. Second choice: Dennis Haysbert (AKA, the black Allstate commerical guy/ SGM from 'The Unit')

The guy who played Buffalo Bill is now Stoddlemeyer in the Monk series. I'm not sure he's got the right edge anymore.

Well, Jack Nicholson has already played a devil-like character (as Darryl Van Horne in The Witches of Eastwick which also has a pretty good soundtrack by John Williams).

Dennis Haysbert seems an OK choice. Samuel L Jackson as the the coolest God ever. Or Harrison Ford? Think about, surrounded by white smoke, and Indy, stepping out as God. Christian Bale think might make a sort of God, capable of both good and bad, while Morgan Freeman seems only capable of being the benevolent god.

No women mentioned to play God yet? Helen Mirren perhaps.

Jack Lemmen. There is something serene about him that I like as God.

Otherwise, I second Christian Bale, McKellen, and SLJ.

Tilda Swinton. She's got a wonderfully inhuman edge to her. Plus, she's played an archangel, so it would really just be a promotion.

Helen Mirren's good, too. Judy Dench might also work.

Wait a minute - Glenda Jackson! Yeah!

William Hurt. I'd just have him replay his role from Mr Brooks - Wanders into people's heads and coerces them into doing things with obtuse justification.

Robert De Niro should play God. He's a scary bastard and you're never quite sure exactly when he is going to snap and murder a country.

Ian McKellen

Although, it is was just a cameo, Richard Dawkins for the irony factor.
