Other Actors Who Played Superman. Other actors have played the role -- Ray Middleton, Bud Collyer, Lee Quigley, Kirk Alyn, Brandon Routh and Bob Holliday, and Tom Welling, in Smallville -- though none gained the fame nor consistency in the role of the previous three.he Original Superman. George Reeves was perhaps the first enduring figure of Superman on the big screen. Others had played the role, but after his 1951 debut in Superman and the Mole Men, Reeves went on to an extended run with Superman on the small screen in the TV series The Adventures of Superman.
'Our Gang,' 'Superman' actor Jackie Cooper dies. A love letter to the late Rascal. Most audiences might know Jackie Cooper as Perry White in four Superman movies. Or for his role in 1931âs The Champ. Or for his appearance in Skippy, which made him the first child actor to ever be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor. But, to me, the actor â who passed away Tuesday at the age of 88 after a brief illness â will always be known as Our Gangâs Jackie.
