A good actor can play any kind of character, but I’ve always maintained that any actor playing Superman should be a kind and humble person to begin with. Brandon Routh (Superman Returns) has maintained a reputation as a warm and open person whenever he meets a new fan.
I have heard similar stories about John Haymes Newton and Gerard Christopher (Superboy and Adventures of Superboy TV series). I grew up in Williamstown, MA where Christopher Reeve had a summer home. He had performed at the Williamstown Theater Festival several times and fell in love with the area.
When I was seven-years-old, his son Matt was on my baseball team and his father would come to many of his games. I was a bit nervous to meet him, but I eventually worked up the courage, got an autograph and even performed what would become the first of many Superman-related interviews. I was just some kid bothering him, but he took the time to answer my questions and was a heckuva nice guy.
I was fortunate to meet Henry Cavill last summer during an official set visit for Man of Steel in Plano, IL. Unfortunately I’m not yet allowed to discuss our conversation, but I don’t think I’ll get in too much trouble by saying that despite Henry’s insane and stressful schedule and workload, he was still a heckuva nice guy. I even saw him giving each crew member he was working with a smile and a "thank you" whenever he received some help. None of that is required by an actor in his position, but like I said, he’s a heckuva nice guy.
