The question was NOT "Did Richard Burton play "the role of Dr. Zhivago", the question was whether he was "IN" Dr. Zhivago. And I have the same question, specifically:

"Did Richard Burton play the uncredited role of the priest who Lara "confesses" to after one of her first "trysts" with Victor Kamarovsky?"

This question has been asked on other sites and it seems that no one has actually answered it absolutely. Some have answered that it is an actor named "____" playing the priest, but they are referring to the priest at the beginning when Yuri is a child at his mother's burial."

I believe that the actor and scene that everyone is referring to IS Richard Burton...the moment I saw and heard it when I was watching it on TV on PBS tonight I quickly checked it on the internet...a tool that I did not have accessible when I first saw the movie in 1965, or in subsequent viewings, when, I asked the same question, but then forgot to research it later.

Answer 2

Just saw the priest who certainly was Richard Burton. Blue eyes and unmistakable voice.
