I haven’t kept up with Teri Hatcher. It seems most actors and actresses don’t do well after being in a Superman movie or TV series.

I don’t think I have seen any of the original black and white TV series actors in anything else. Of course George Reeves was dead not long after it ended.

Kristin Kreuk has tried to make it and I have seen her in a couple of totally forgettable roles. I suspect Tom Welling will do about the same when the series ends. Although I liked both Welling and Kreuk in “Smallville”, I am not sure either one is that good of an actor. They both are unusually attractive tho.

There is a “Superman Curse” everyone in who played superman ended up dead.
If I were a actor, I would stay away from playing “the man of steel”.

Kirk Alyn made it to the ripe age of 88, and I believe Dean Cain is still around...
