In the latest Superman Homepage Member Poll we asked you the following question:
Who is the best Superman voice actor of all time?
It’s no secret that I think Bud Collyer is hands down the best Superman voice actor of all time… However, fans put him in second place in this poll, with 20% of the votes. The clear winner in this poll, with a whopping 59% of the votes, was Tim Daly. Interestingly, George Newbern (who succeeded him in some ways) came in third with only 7% of the votes.

I feel gratified that Collyer’s the second-favorite choice and not just the distant runner-up that only hipsters voted for.
