Twitter was awash with plenty of buzz this weekend as the character of Satan made his first appearance in the hugely successful History channel mini-series "The Bible."

The apparent controversy surrounded the "look" of the character, which many on the social media site compared to President Obama.

In real life, the actor portraying the devil is Moroccan actor Mohamen Mehdi Ouazanni.

Apparently, the issue started making the Twitter rounds after Glenn Beck tweeted "Anyone else think the Devil in #TheBible Sunday on HIstory Channel looks exactly like That Guy? pic.twitter.com/nTpYRQ522p" on Saturday.

Mark Burnett, executive producer of the show, has of yet issued no official statement about the buzz.
