they played together at Bobby mcferrin's " dont worry be happy" music video

And from what I heard, Kevin Conroy (animated Batman) was also a roommate of his!

Rip to both

@@ivanagustinortiz5237 I would've never guessed Robin was Superman's roommate. I thought he was Batman's roommate.

@@pokerandphilosophy8328 I mean Robin was with Kevin Conroy at first in Julliard, but what's crazy is that the most iconic Superman almost lived with the most iconic Batman plus Robin Williams who almost became both the Joker and Riddler, pretty cool

Lol I just posted that before reading your post. He really was

I agree!

Christopher reeves is superman

Second to none.

Tho, Brandon Routh is a great actor who had a similar approach to both Kal El and Clark Kent...... speaking of which.....heroichollywood.com/brandon-routh-superman-alex-ross-crisis/ WHOOO HOOO! :)))))

Look up Jack O'Halloran's account of him on the set of Superman 2, he played Non. He had some less than flattering things to say about Christopher Reeve and thought he was egomaniac before the accident. He blamed it on Reeve being young and letting the fame get to his head during that time.

@@metsrus Yeah, well, he is nearly the only one. Could be a little jealousy, given that O'Halloran was kinda beaten with the ugly stick. Anyway, O'Halloran's opinion or not, it was my own personal experience and it will never change.

@@blondecat666 Ikr, the first time I saw O'Halloran I was like "I have never seen a more Neanderthal-looking dude in my life!", lol. Meanwhile Chris always did look like a freaking Greek god or sumn, so ol boy definitely had a bad case of the green eyed monster imo.

@@BiblicalTeachings Be careful of the #13 or black cats and be sure to throw salt over your right shoulder, carry a rabbit's foot and a four leaf clover and a horse shoe for mega good luck. Superstition is a weird thing to follow. If you look into it, there were two numbers, 616 and 666, in historical accounts referring to Nero as an indirect jab at his successor the emperor Domitian. In Greek it comes to 666 and in Latin 616. The Greek version looks better and won the beauty contest, so to speak. Mark of the beast refers to the image of the emperor on the coinage. Now,, run that through the millenia and the extreme superstition of the Dark Ages and Medieval time period magnified by the inculcation of the Catholic and later Protestant churches who believed these tales (not sure about all the upper leaders but definitely lower levels and the masses) and used these superstitions to control. Later folks like yourself, have come to accept these superstitions as fact just as earlier people just knew that leprechauns were real. That elves and faeries (fairies today) were real. In and of itself, superstition is relatively harmless unless tied to political powers which too many 666 believers do. Believe what you wish. Please understand when those who know history refute you and your claims, it's because since the 4th century clear to now, those claimants have been ruthless and despicably vicious. You are not that, but feed the true beast of orthodoxy. Christian, Muslim no different history wise.

Lying sht sit down lol.. especially with your dumbass username haha.. only an idiot will believe you

He died?

@@horaceball5418 Yep 👍🏻, on October 10, 2004, at the age of 52.

Life is short ... are you close to God?@@jamesmcclelland1414

NO HE WASN’T! He was the greatest Superman ever!! Oh, you said that. Oops!

That would be George Reeves :)

@@shanemcnally2069 no

Of course, who else?

@@shanemcnally2069 nope

I met him in 1993 at an airport near Watertown, VT. While I was waiting for a plane to pull me up (my sailplane), the tower said I should go over and help the guy in the white t-shirt and bluejeans get his wings on. The guy turned around, stuck out his hand, and said, Hi, I'm Chris. I sheepishly replied, yes, I know. My 15 or so minutes with him was just small talk - how long have you been flying sailplanes? Where did you grow up? One of the coolest days of my life and I was only 22 at the time.

Gary Kroeger is my brother and he spoke repeatedly about what a funny and humble soul Christopher Reeve had. Christopher Reeve will always be Superman to me.

Annnnnnnnnd that quality would serve him well when auditioning to be Clark Kent

And those qualities were evident, in every portrayal -- that's what endeared him to his worldwide audience ... Rest in Peace, Christopher

@@kkroeger5868 I'm a big fan of Krieger on this show. I watched the reruns on Comedy Central as a kid in the 90s and his seasons were the first I watched. Peacock has all 45 years worth of SNL episodes , so his work will continue to be seen by new generations

had no idea it was her until she faced the camera late in the skit, she was great in this, this was a star-studded skit!

Oh WOW i did not even realize it was her, i TOTALLY thought it was Jan hooks.

Wow, I thought that was her but presuming this was filmed in 77 . I didn't know she was on SNL, Seinfeld was my first time seeing the actress

It was George Reeve for me as a kid. But have to admit out of all the other Supermen Christopher was the best.

Reeve was the best ever Superman naturally.

he will always be THE Superman... as long as I live every Superman actor will be compared to him... he was made for that character.

EXACTLY! Well said!

Henry Cavill couldn't play him worth a shit.

@@louisborselio8608 The only thing worse than Cavill's Superman was Cavill's Clark.

So true.

30 to 40 yrs. ago people thought I looked like Christopher, never saw it myself. Since then I've yelled 'where's my damned cape!' Not really. The women I loved when they thought I looked like "Superman"...memories to Cherish. RIP Mr. Reeve.

He was okay.

I recommend to watch the curse of Superman documentary. It's interesting.

Yes

But apparently not when he directed a Superman movie.

feels surreal seeing him. Rest in peace legend.

Simply stay off horses, it's just not worth the ride! I have always thought, it's just not worth the risk! And when C.R. injured his spine, I knew I had made a wise decision.

@@thewatcher96 By that logic, you should absolutely never, ever get in a car. You're far more likely to suffer a severe injury in one of those than on horseback.

@@hux2000 ........I would much sooner be in a modern car and with all it's abundant safety features, then be riding on a horse and being thrown off it. After all horses have no airbags to soften the fall. And don't forget the tremendous rate of serious accidents which would be bound to occur when 5 million motorists [ Gt. Britain] went all over the place on horseback.....

Christopher Reeve & Micheal Schumacher .... makes some of us wish we could turn bk time - So Sad :(

well..yeah..all but really put any effort in a simple bullet catch with his teeth, I mean..COME ON!

Just like Clark Kent

Right o, frikin great

Acting!

That was what they were going for for

i was thinking the same thing

I thought it was her😂😂😂

I agree

Who?

I had no idea she was old asf

That’s Rich Hall, my doppelgänger. He published the Sniglets books. Words that don’t exist but should. His best sketch was the supermarket door mats that he attached to his shoes.

@Marshall Carwood LOL!

LOL!!

I don't know if you are serious, but catching a bullet with the teeth is a standard magic effect and is safe: at no time is a bullet ever actually fired.

@@david203 Really? No way. I'm sure that they use real guns and fire real bullets at people's heads when doing magic tricks and auditions for Superman. 😂

@@david203 Ok boomer

He was a gorgeous man.

Great story. If you feel grateful towards the man, my advice is to pray for him.

You just did. 🙏🏻👊🏻🙏🏻😔😎

I did not recognize her at all, thank You!

She was not integral to the description of the sketch.

@@Fardawg She was involved in nearly every line.

@@Fardawg How was every man integral but not her?

Was thinking the same thing.

His NYC entrance from the building to rescue Lois in her helicopter was the best superhero entrance I've ever seen. He had presence, and studied political issues in depth. Alec Baldwin walked around the capital with him and everyone wanted to meet Reeve. Baldwin thought he was going to become a senator, but then he had that serious injury. One more thing. Reeve said Mel Gibson was smarter about his career than he was & explained why. Reeve tried to do things that were both highbrow that he hoped would be popular like "Deathtrap." But Gibson would do wildly popular movies, then had the clout to help make anything he wanted -- even a pretty big budget "Hamlet."

How cool is that, seing Superman in real life... oops, I mean Clark Kent

What a great memory to share. Thank you.

Yes, Chris had a son, he was called Matthew.

@@tomsinsky5548 According to Wikipedia, Reeve "turned down the lead roles in American Gigolo, The World According to Garp, Splash, Fatal Attraction, Romancing the Stone, Lethal Weapon, and Body Heat." That's a helluva list.

Long live the legend!

True that

Haha u got me on that

Reeve

Here’s a couple of idioms that’ll help you remember. Christopher Reeve - the S is on his chest. or There’s only one s each in George Reeves and Christopher Reeve.

and nearly missed to get the role!

But he couldn't control his powers. The other guy had all the powers of superman and he knew how to use them!

He did get some luck though. That cocky fcker dying and other dudes commitments.

@@neiljohnson7914 Too bad about that scheduling conflict though, huh? Still, we have that to thank for getting the Superman we ended up with.

Gotta hide in plain sight!

You were so lucky he was american sweatheart

The guy on the floor jumps at the end shots.

ditto

i think this the only skit she appeared in the whole time she was on the cast. she has stated that all but 1 of her skits got cut

You think this is why Jerry subconsciously picked Julia when the Seinfeld producers decided that they needed to add a woman to the cast after the pilot?

Because her name is Julia, not Julie.

@@THEChancell0r1 you mean Julia Luis-Dreyfus? It's a KZfaq comment. It's not like it's something permanent like a star on the world-famous Hollywood Walk of Fame or anything... www.today.com/id/36951082/ns/today-today_entertainment/t/seinfeld-actress-tickled-walk-fame-typo/

Yes...on all accounts.

And he was afraid of heights

@@lohancindy5442 shows how good an actor he was, he never looked scared suspended on the wires during filming!

which one

@@jadenicole6326 are you kidding? Christopher Reeves of course.

It was nothing but an inconvenience

I forgot about Rich Hall, I always enjoyed his acting.

Not to mention he caught the bullet shell casing and all

Steller Adler.

@@scottguffey2455 I can assure you, people did not care about ammunition accuracy in those days.

@@scottguffey2455 Don't you just hate it when the casing comes out with the projectile??? LOL.

He's also fantastic in Mr. Destiny.

And in The Principal

Yes. Whenever he would get to yell in a sketch or movie scene, he just made me laugh out loud.

Just watched him in Taking Care of Business last week. Such a underrated film.

Lies again? Audacity Module

But not catch bullets, his technique needs work

Still sexy. ❤

I was wondering if that was her ...

45 years ago

@@marcoevans2155 check your math

Contessa Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. But you can call her Val.

☺

I hadn't thought of him for a long time. It is nice to see him like this. It was so sad when he had the fall from his horse and broke his neck.

Gotta punctuate, Tony.

Amethyst Jeanne Yess!! so true! :D

They should have margot kidder. But unfortunately didnt turn up.

Though to be honest, while Mr. Reeve always looked like a superMAN, he never really looked the part of a SUPERman...

N'way, Rich Hall was the best.

@fu ck but why?? Is he in hell??

That was Jim Belushi.

No he won’t. Christopher REEVE is.

da Bunnyman thanks. Glad he was a good guy and not a prick like some stories you hear.

Very cool

I have to believe that in casting him, part of the deal was that this guy is going to have to have a nice personality to play Superman. That he will be charming to the media and the public, which he was all the way.

Cool. I saw an interview with him about how it was to work with Marlon Brando, whom Reeve admired as an actor and with whom, as a young unknown, he was looking forward to working. He said Brando was a complete ungenerous prick. I think being decent to people was part of Reeve's life.

One of the few times I've heard of anyone meeting Reeve pre-accident in which he wasn't a horrible person. Most first hand accounts place him as being one of the most smug, impolite assholes of all time when the cameras weren't on him. There were people who hated him so much that they said his accident was karma.

*Reeve

One penny took him away from his love. We are one small material object away from our celestial love.

One of the saddest endings i've ever seen.

@@JoshuaCastillo6309 I couldn't agree more.

Good movie.

Love that movie. But I consider the ending to be a happy ending.

hollyvelocitygrl I agree

Yes, very sad. Being born in the 70´s he is superman for me.

You are absolutely right, Holly Velocity.

Honestly, and especially Hall, Kroeger and JLD would have fit right in a few years later when Dana Carvey and Phil Hartman were killing it. Super underrated performers. This season was a gem. It's too bad Brad Hall wasn't around for it, because he was on par with these guys as well.

Well, Henry Cavill took over nicely.

@@jondunmore4268 He could've but they forced to be emo

Uh no. No he did not.

Tom Welling was a great fit too, imo. Even though he never got to wear the actual suit. Brandon Routh fit pretty good. (just the movie bombed) But yeah Christopher Revve is the BEST fit.

@@jondunmore4268 Henry Cavill lacks the charisma to be Superman.

I love Somewhere in Time also. Hard to watch with that haunting love theme. Makes me cry every time.

Absolutely.

Are you sure Superman was not Christopher Reeve?

Totally agree, my god, did he ever nail the cute and awkward Clark

"Grasses"?

@@igalflint Made in Japan!

@@lpj55 nailed it, bravo. Or should I say bravro.

St. AUGUSTINE, BERMUDA, CANNIBIS, OR ZOYSIA?

I know. I was amazed by that.

George Reeves

That's a beautiful story. The truth is Christopher Reeve probably inspired millions of boys around the world to be heroes.

@@nerychristian "... to beat up bullies." What might have been. 😉

What a great story👍

That's interesting. There's a bully storyline in Superman 2. I wonder if that's what inspired him specifically or maybe someone from the film did hear about it? ;)

Dan Aykroyd is gay????

Jim and Dan own a business together. They are business partners.

@@mikebozik Sorry bud it was a bad joke. I actually respect them both highly. Brilliant actors.

No worries 🙂. No offense taken

actually superman was 6ft 3 inches look it up

@@markv.5962 See, this is the stuff that makes me believe in the theory of the "multiverse" with an infinite number of parallel dimensions. I see that at "this" point in time, you are correct it shows Superman stood 6' 3" tall. However, this was something I had previously looked up in the past. I previously saw Superman was 6' 4" tall. This is not the first time this has happened. For example, Donald Trump originally showed up as 6' 2" tall. But now he shows up as 6'3" tall and claims to be 6' 3" tall. Jeb Bush also previously showed up as 6' 4" tall, but now he shows up as 6' 3" tall. There is one BIG problem, though. If you saw the debates from 2016, you could clearly see Jeb Bush was about two inches taller than Trump. So, the thought of 6' 2" for Trump and 6' 4" for Jeb Bush made sense. Anyone who saw those debates knows they are not both the same height. of 6' 3" tall.

Good call on mentioning his voice. I think his voice has been severely overlooked. I'm glad to see that you mentioned it.

More than his Subs i love the interpretation of Reeve‘s Clark Kent. Routh or Cavill were Superman with glasses! His Clark was the totally opposite of Superman. Another character. So well done! ❤

Chris reeves and Tom Welling

It's not about you, Maurice. If you need attention make a crayon drawing for mommy.

Sure...

Wasn’t trying to brag. Was nostalgic. My uncle Nate Herman was a writer for SNL. Guess haters gotta hate... 44 yo now.

Well, I learned to believe that a man can fly, so I believe you anything

That's an awesome story! That would have been a real dream come true, meeting the real man of steal and all that cast !

This is a copy of a comment from a year ago by Wayne Minana . Plagiarism is not a problem for you , is it ?

That was my favorite film he was in. What a tear jerker.

Same here.

Yes, with Jane Seymour. I love that movie. Can't believe it was 1980.

Loved that movie too

EVERY time I hear the music used in the film, I cry and cry and cry.

Man that's a lot of info crammed into that comment 👍

@@chiefscheider Also Deathtrap 1982

It really makes a difference when actors learn their lines, when writers are actually funny, and when people are hired because they are naturally talented. SNL has much to answer for.

They were holding the script in their hands...smh

@@karenfyhr2363 doesn't mean the script wasn't blank

Is SNL still on TV?

Also the audience weren't laughing their tits off at every single aspect of the skit, as heard on most US sitcoms in the last 30 years and more that is so OTT and/or faked. It was very natural in fact.

lol

Haha, nice one!

😂

You mean Lois Loan.

BORDER WALL it’s tremendous. It’s terrific. The BEST. The BEST looks. He’s got all the looks.

@@pjincho lol

It's especially hilarious/obvious as he stands next to the other two guys.

I would have liked to have seen him as Achilles in the Troy movie.

Who was the other guy? I'm gonna guess Paul Newman....

I thought the same.

Like the mafia/ Sopranos

His best acting!

He was superman. The teenaged version in the film

Typical of New York and Hollywood entertainment big wigs.. too busy with "the show" to be bothered with anything mundane like someone bleeding out on the floor.

He's still uplifting, if you have had enough patience to sit through, the world is not entirely sunshine and roses you know.

Go read the comicbooks. A sight to behold! 😮woooh!!😮

How wonderful!

Very cool!!

Awe

Great memory to have. ❤️
