Described as an extroverted 20-something known for being the “life of the party” around the office. “Despite being work colleagues with Clark, he’s been unable to get him out of his ‘awkward’ shell,” according to Jimmy’s official description. “Unaware of Clark’s super-secret, Jimmy’s still determined to become his pal.”
Known for his roles in HBO’s “Big Love” and Season 2 of “Big Little Lies,” Douglas Smith is the younger brother of Gregory Smith, who has directed 8 episodes of “Superman & Lois” to date.
Previously played by Mehcad Brooks in the “Supergirl” TV series, Douglas Smith’s version of the character will be the first time Jimmy has made an appearance in the “Superman & Lois” TV series.
