Martian Manhunter: The Actor Behind The Green

[phoenixflight]

With this very shadowy image of the Martian Manhunter, it begs the question: Who is the actor portraying J'onn J'onzz?

Making a brief appearance in the 8th episode "Static" and will most likely join the other "Smallville" heroes in the 11th episode "Justice", let the casting speculation begin.

We can rule out Leonard Roberts (from "Arrival" and "Zod"). For starters, he and this actor look nothing alike. Secondly, Leonard has been cast on NBC's Heroes.

Sam Jones III






No just kidding I don't know he really doen't look familiar

 

[Gold Samurai]

Its sylar! jk

 

[phoenixflight]

For some reason I think the actor is Alimi Ballard (Herbal from "Dark Angel", and David Sinclair from "Numb3rs"). He is an avid comic book collector.

 

[phoenixflight]

What about Malik Yoba (from "New York Undercover" and "Thief")?.

I think you hit the nail on the head.

 

[Serene]

I doubt it's either of those ^^ guys. The facial structure doesn't match up.

 

[Kaboom]

[Serene]

Lex Luthor?

 

[Kaboom]

howie mandel

(thanks for the assist trip)

[phoenixflight]

I'll keep the real guessing game going. What about Garikayi Mutambirwa from "Jeepers Creepers 2"?

This seems the most likely of all the candidates after looking at both pictures.

 

[Asteroid-Man]

He WON'T be appearing in the episode Justice

But there is a BIG chance he might appear in Labyrinth.t:

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

Carl Lumbly owns them all..

the guy even looks like a Martian

I wouldn't even dream of disagreeing with you, but I don't think it's him. I would prefer to have Lumbly in a film version as the Manhunter (a Justice League movie or co-starring with a Bats or Sups, but not his own film).

 

[KalKai]

...They already said Martian Manhunter is gonna be a white guy. They ust have a black guy in makeup posing as Martian Manhunter when he's IN Martian form when in the shadows.

When and where did they say that?

 

[blksuperman2]

When and where did they say that?

Well everyone knows that Martians are always played by white actors.

 

[avidreader]

What about this guy.

Steve Harris

He played him in the JL cartoon(I think that's him) and he kicked ass.

There is no hope for SV's version to even come close to that kind of awesomeness if they cast anyone else, and that is a fact - just like SV Ollie pales in comparison to JLU Ollie.

It would be funny if it was just some random guy just for that scene.

Well, let's hope not. Then again, he is a shapeshifter and can assume any shape he chooses. Oh well, it's still fun to guess.

 

[RKromwell]

It's not the Ballard guy. Look at the ears. The shape is way off. Guess we will just have to wait and see who it is.
