According to Simon Louvish's biography "Cecil B. DeMille: A Life in Art", the role of Moses was first offered to William Boyd, who had also played Simon the Cyrene in Il re dei re (1927). Boyd declined the role due to his commitment to his enormously popular television series Hopalong Cassidy (1952). DeMille was persuaded to hire Charlton Heston after the Israeli government gave him a statuette likeness of Moses, and noted Heston's resemblance to the statuette.
