A former co-star of Christopher Reeve's ripped the "Superman" actor in a recent interview, according to TMZ.

Jack O'Halloran, the actor who played the mute villain Non in "Superman II," said some harsh things about his late co-star when a TMZ cameraman ran into him recently in Southern California, calling Reeve a prima donna who "believed his own publicity."

Jack O’Halloran also appeared - briefly - in the first Superman movie.

He could be. My question is why bring this up now? Reeve is dead.

I will give O’Halloran credit for admiring Reeve's later charitable works.

Good point, why is the media dragging this up now? They always have an agenda.

D-uh. Christopher Reeve was an ac-tor. To survive in that field it helps to be a narcissist.

Only, please, don't start saying that he died because he thought he really was Superman.

On Hitler or something, ok. But speaking ill of the dead for simple personality disputes shows this ill bred speaker is no better than the dead man he is running down.

There’s a video out there of Sarah Douglas and Terence Stamp who talked about the set of Superman II and the fame Zod’ brought him. Stamp also tells the story about the time where he had to yell back at Jack (who was a big dude and lazy on the set) to get back to shooting, or ‘Jack, you lazy bastard! Zod commands you to get down here right now or Zod will beat you to a bloody pulp’. Jack sheepishly walked back to the set as he was the one holding up the shoot.

Point by point comparison of Nixon to Obama would be educational for the citizens.

Just thought of something. Hey Watters’ World

He’s only been dead for what, 10 years? Yeah, let’s pick on the guy now.

People here speak of "the media" as though it's some kind of omnipresent, omnipotent entity. In this case, a single reporter asked O'Halloran a question and he answered it. No media conspiracy here.

Check out the video clip. O’Halloran is quite good-natured. :)

Oh, Christoper Reeve, and not George Reeves. That clarified a lot things.

Never was a fan of Christopher, and I saw part of series epi on MeTV yesterday.

I saw this tomato can lose a unanimous decision to Boone Kirkman in Seattle, 1973 - for even mid level heavyweights, fighting Jack O’Halloran was similar to working out with a heavy bag. Not that I would have taken him on, though.
