Why do Jews and Christians let Moses and Jesus to be played by people in movies while it is forbidden to play Muhammed? (Buddhism, Mormonism)

People who play Jesus aren't Jesus. I don't see your logic.

People who play Muhammed aren't Muhammed. Same logic.

This applies to anyone depicting anyone else but themselves. So what?

Yes, that is quite evident.

Since they are not Muhammed, they can't play Muhammed.

Sure they can. Same as any actor playing a role.

I didn't say they overcame ALL the ancient ignorance, just in that particular regard!!! They still have retained far too much ancient ignorance and superstition, IMO!

They can't unless a movie producer in the west don't go against muslims and their belief.

Just stay away from the movie theater and any / all movie reviews, and you should be able to sleep at night LOL

I doubt Hollywood producers give much thought to the beliefs of Muslims or Buddhists or Hindus.

Maybe the OP can visit Hollywood, and give a big lecture to all those "lost" folks. None of us could - or would even want to - do squat on this topic. [Hint: Know your audience] The most I could muster on this topic is a big yawn.
