interacting with the other actors; She is playing the role of Sunday

ruler of Egypt; Promotes Joseph to be his right-hand man; An Elvis
impersonator -- larger than life personality. <BR><BR>JACOB -- Joseph's

wealthy Egyptian tycoon who buys Joseph as a slave; A dedicated man who is
a bit obsessed with material possessions and wealth; A baritone<BR><BR>MRS
