Last November, James Gunn cast Skyler Gisondon as the DCU's Jimmy Olsen in Superman. However, he's not the only actor to have recently been picked to play the Man of Steel's best pal, as Douglas Smith will show up as the beloved Daily Planet photographer in Superman & Lois' final season.

This version of the character has previously been described as an "extroverted 20-something" known for being "the 'life of the party' around the office." The site adds, "Despite being work colleagues with Clark, he’s been unable to get him out of his 'awkward' shell. Unaware of Clark’s super-secret, Jimmy’s still determined to become his pal."

In a clip from episode 7 - titled "A Regular Guy" - we see an enthusiastic Jimmy attempt to befriend Clark Kent ahead of a softball game. However, he doesn't have much luck given the hero's reluctance to risk revealing his powers to the world. 

Many of you will likely know Smith best for Big Love and Big Little Lies. He also counts Vinyl and The Alienist among his credits and played the title character's half-brother in Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters. Funnily enough, his older brother - Gregory Smith - has helmed eight episodes of Superman & Lois

Mehcad Brooks played "James" Olsen in the Arrowverse, appearing in Supergirl both as the photographer and, later, the heroic Guardian. This series takes place in its own, separate reality following the events of Crisis on Infinite Earths

Check out this fun new Superman & Lois clip from next Monday's episode in the player below. 

THE EPISODE WAS DIRECTED BY GREGORY SMITH ('EVERWOOD,' 'ROOKIE BLUE') – After some concerning interactions in town, Clark (Tyler Hoechlin) is determined to protect the secret that he’s Superman – a task complicated by Jonathan (Michael Bishop) and Jordan (Alex Garfin). Lois (Elizabeth Tulloch) considers the future of the Gazette after Chrissy (Sofia Hasmik) proposes something drastic. Gregory Smith ('Everwood,' 'Rookie Blue') directed the episode written by Katie Aldrin & George Kitson (#407). Original airdate 11/11/2024.

Superman & Lois was developed by Todd Helbing and Greg Berlanti for The CW network. The show stars Tyler Hoechlin as Clark Kent/Superman and Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane.

It follows the iconic superhero couple as they navigate the challenges of parenthood while also dealing with the responsibilities and dangers that come with being Earth's greatest protector.

In case you missed it, a promo for "A Regular Guy" has also been released which you can watch below.

Hope this is a Smallville easter egg were that turns out not to be the real Jimmy because my guy looks like he just got out of rehab and he relapsed that morning.

Weird looking Jimmy aside, this scene is a perfect example of just how much this show gets who Clark is.

See how Tyler went from somewhat serious adult to endearing child-like… That’s how that schmuck Zachary Levi should’ve played his character.

It’ll suck to see the show go. But it’s had its time, and it was a good run.

Wait...wait...wait...wait....I was under the impression that Jimmy had already done the old "buddy ole pal" stick before Clark had kids. I assumed if we saw him....he would have had some type of character progression past that stick.

I'm gonna ignore the apperance shaming going on in this thread and judge the acting. Dude did pretty good. I like him as Jimmy.
