Karl Urban plaked Julius on Xena, oddly enough.

Jeremy Sisto played a decent Julius Caesar in the TV Miniseries by the same name, especially as a the young Caesar.

Caesar was never emperor. He was consul (I can't remember how many times; once or twice). And he was dictator twice, I believe the first time for six months, and later was appointed dictator for life, a very short life after the appointment. The first emperor of the Roman Empire was Caesar's grand-nephew and adopted son Octavian.
