[Gotendbz-2]

I hope they don't make MM any other color than green.

But it looks like a black guy thats playing MM.

 

[04nbod]

he's a shapeshifter so i don't think it really matters. Besides his form we see isn't his true form either- apparantly its too personal for him to show

That's awesome.

 

[phoenixflight]

I'm not sure where the writers plan on taking Phil's character, however he could be a great role model and mentor to Clark.

 

[04nbod]

thats quite a resume-still need to see his voice and demeanor but it looks good

 

[Artistsean]

My big qustion, besides what his character is going to be, is what they might make him look like.
Sometimes they really change the character or their characte design to fit the show.

"The man's a goblin!"

LOL ya know I saw him on another show a few year's ago and couldnt believe he was the same guy who played Jackie Chiles. He was so over the top on Seinfeld that you almost didnt believe it was him when he was playing a more down to earth role. Can't argue with the guy's resume.

 

[phoenixflight]

But he wasn't the one we seen in Static was he ?

It was definitely NOT him, however that can be justified by the fact that he is a shapeshifter. Great way to have many actors portray the same character.

 

[Eddie Brock]

Awesome how all these core actors seem to all be doing voice work or screen work for DCU shows/movies.

it's probably who they look to first

 

[phoenixflight]

WOW - kryptonsite.com justed posted this (a little late for the SHH fans, but glad to see that's it's officially confirmed):

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]he January 8 issue of TV Guide (now hitting newsstands) reveals that actor Phil Morris has landed the role of the Martian Manhunter for the Jan. 25 episode of Smallville, which is titled "Labyrinth."

[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]To most, Morris is best known for his role as Jackie Chiles on Seinfeld. However, that is only one of his many credits. Other movies or television series on his resume include Melrose Place, Love Boat: The Next Wave, and the 1980s revival of Mission: Impossible, where he played the son of Barney Collier, a character played by Morris' real-life did Greg Morris in the original series.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
[/FONT]​

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]And he has some comic book connections. Morris played a Justice League villain, Vandal Savage, on Justice League. On a sitcom titled WIOU, Morris played a character named Eddie Brock, but no, it wasn't Venom's alter ego. The super-hero thing also runs in his family... his sister, Iona, was the voice of Storm in the 1990's X-Men animated series. (If only they had her dub over Halle Berry's atrocious dialogue in the movies...)[/FONT]​
