i JUST SAW BRANDON IN THAT GILMORE GIRLS EPISODE HE WAS PLAYING ASHTON KUTCHER FROM DUDE WHERES MY CAR ? I TOLD MY MOM THAT'S SUPERMAN SHE WAS LIKE THE MOVIE IS DOOMED THIS MORRON CANT BE SUPES NO ONE CAN REPLACE CHRIS REEVES .

But you left out how she also said, "Batman is doomed! No one can replace Adam West!"

 

[The Sage]

And what about when she heard that Jamie Foxx would be portraying Ray Charles, did she say "not that fool off of In Living Color" or "Not the star of that crappy show!"

Nobody even knew who Chris Reeve was in 1978, Now he's regarded one of the best actors in Hollywood history. Calm down and give the guy a chance.

Why do people insist on comparing Routh to Reeve... he isn't even close to the same ballpark as Reeve.

Go take a look at Reeve's BIO on IMDB. And then come back here and tell me that you still think Routh is anything at all like Reeve...

The only difference pre-Superman is that Reeve had Julliard training.

That's actually a big difference, LOL. Not ragging on Routh or anything...

They're alike in that they were relatively unknown.

Did you read his BIO?

That isn't the only difference, but I'm not going to get into this again which is why I posted the link.

The next time the A&E biography plays on Reeve, you should give it a gander.

Routh may be fine, he may even be talented, but he still isn't in Reeve's league.

I don't know why you're so obsessed with comparing two actors' bio and resume. I assume that when people are comparing Routh and Reeve, they're comparing their "unknownness."

Catfight!

I'm just trying to prove how UNLIKE they are...

Not even that is alike... Routh had done like four or five things and maybe ten people knew who he was.

Reeves had been a working pro actor in the best known summer rep company (Williamsport Theatre Fest) in the country since the age of 16...

He was a working and well respected actor since he was a teen. So, maybe he hadn't done much TV and only that one bit part in Gray Lady Down, but he was far more known in some circles than Routh was...

What had Routh done: a soap, a few bit parts and a local dinner theatre?

Not even in the same league.





Oh, I give up.

Believe what you want, but they are nothing alike, except in general appearance.

But...I thought Reeve was an unknown?

 

[Lobo]

I thought Mom always knew best?

Well acording to TV "Father knows Best"

 

[triplet]

But...I thought Reeve was an unknown?

read my revised post... He wasn't unknown.

Not in the East Coast theatre circles anyway. He was on broadway and worked steadily as a pro actor.

I'm not dissing Routh, but I think it's disrepectful of Reeve to lump him in with Routh as just another "unknown"...

Maybe he wasn't well known outside New York, but he wasn't an unknown.

Ah I see. I guess that's where the phrase "relatively unknown" comes into play.

For all of Reeve's acting background, he landed a soap and a bit part in a film before landing Superman. (I assume he did these plays and what-not before getting actual tv/film gigs.)

For Routh's less-than-Julliardian background, he landed a soap, some tv spots, and a bit part in a film before landing Superman.

That's how I look at this. That's what I see when I look at their filmographies. Although their acting backgrounds are different, the jobs they landed because of those backgrounds are eeriely similar.

Yeah, I can see that but their acting backgrounds are world's apart and even though Chris was "relatively unknown" he had a fairly high profile in certain circles.

I'm not sure the same could be said of Routh. Maybe he had a relatively high profile among casting directors, it probably took quite a bit of work for him to get the parts he did, and soap fans prolly loved him.

But he still isn't in the same league acting wise as Reeve.

Not to say he's not talented, I'm not trying to diss him, but Reeve had a serious and very impressive acting CV which Routh does not have.

What is this supposed to prove again? *looks at "From Justin to Kelly" DVD*

 

[patrickbateman]

And what about when she heard that Jamie Foxx would be portraying Ray Charles, did she say "not that fool off of In Living Color" or "Not the star of that crappy show!"

nah she actual approved abt jamie since Ray himself was supportive towards Jamie plus the dude had a great vocal range similar to Ray even D washington never came close to it. Her prediction is in the next 20 yrs jim carrey will be what robin williams is today.

I think you'd have to go back a page or two to understand the context.

Yeah Carrey is simply amazing, and both Carrey and Foxx are alumni from In Living Color.

routh simple is not in the same league, as also he is not in the same league as spacey.
