He walked around Rome looking at peasants and proles and whores and passerby, grabbing the right ones to be in the movie. Took him a few years, but he just kept walking around, searching for strangers that fit.
Few of them had "acted", much less were "actors". The Jesus actor was some econ student.
But they had EXACTLY the right faces for the characters. Down to each apostle.
And even if the audience was entirely unfamiliar with the Gospel (jews), these are faces you instinctively want to stare at. Like an infant will stare longer at a rough sketch of two eyes, nose and mouth, than he will at scrambled features. We have innate programming to stare at faces.
Pasolini grasped this, and told 99% of the story just having silent faces staring at each other, while we stare at them.
