Old footage I found on YouTube with Christopher Reeve visiting "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson" promoting "Superman". I thought it was awesome to see two legends together, and it is a pretty funny interview. Poor Chris, you can tell he is nervous.

I've always appreciated is humility in taking on that character and his knowledge of the character before going in. Even in his later years and his appearances on smallville..he was a great actor but a great guy too

This guy was so perfect that he ruined the character for everyone else in the future. His look, his size, his acting ability...the man was and always will be Superman.

Wonderful person, Superman & actor all of the people who hate know this Superman the Movie started the the comic book trend & still holds its own today & Mr. Reeve said "Superman should be played by a new actor for a new generation" I think he would say to Zack Snyder "Move forward, I believe in U & ur Superman project" I look 4ward to the Man of Steel :)
