Jack Nicholson and Moses - any sources?

[edit]

I'm baffled by this remark in the Development section, where it talks about all the actors who were considered for the role of the other Lebowski:

"Jack Nicholson (who was not interested, he only wanted to portray Moses)"

I can't figure out what exactly this means; there's no character in the movie named Moses and Nicholson never portrayed the Biblical figure. I hunted around and the only references to the topic I could find seemed to use the same wording, which makes me think they took it from here. Does anyone know what this means and whether there's any evidence of it? Junitaki (talk) 23:46, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
