Title: Favorite Superman Cast
Post by: shazamtd on November 24, 2005, 04:12:41 PM
I'm kind of surprised no one has posted this as a topic.  

Which is your favorite Superman cast?  Not just the movies or TV shows.  It can be the cartoons, serials or whatever.  

My favorite cast is the radio show cast:

Superman/Clark Kent -- Bud Collyer
Lois Lane -- Joan Alexander
Jimmy Olsen -- Jackie Kelk
Perry White -- Julian Noa

For me these actors where perfectly cast.  To be able to act with just your voice I imagine is pretty difficult.  But they did it so well.  Best of all Bud Collyer made Superman distinguishable from Clark Kent just by changing the pitch of his voice.  Many of the actors played different characters also.  Much like many cartoon actors today.  
The best part about the radio show is that the characters and sets look however you imagine them to look.  Someone else may be imagining something completely different but you're both getting the same story.  The show was also well written and really showed off the cast's talent.

Collyer was extremely talented, I put him up there with William Conrad doing Matt Dillon on radio "Gunsmoke"...
