March 4, 2003: Victor Webster Talks Testing for Superman

While rumors and speculations fly around about who has or will be cast in the lead role for the up-coming Superman movie, Zap2it.com managed to catch up with actor Victor Webster who admits he's tested for the role. Webster, best known as one of the stars in science-fiction series "Mutant X", describes himself as "a big fan of the old-school superhero stuff," and just happy to have been asked to test for the role. Here's an excerpt from the interview...

"It's a personal accomplishment for me, no matter what happens," says Webster of testing for "Superman." Asked what it entailed, he says, "Dress up in the suit; dress up as Clark Kent; stand in front of the camera."

As to whether the familiar red-and-blue costume has been updated, Webster says, "It's Spandex and tight. I probably shouldn't say anything else. I wasn't told not to say anything, but I imagine they want their concept to be their concept, and for me to spoil somebody else's thing, that's disrespectful."

He adds, "It was very cool, no question about that at all. The script is excellent. Obviously, I can't go over the details of the script, but it's really well written. It's a great character movie with tons of action, but you really feel for the characters. There's no campiness in this movie whatsoever, no campy humor, no goofy humor. This is a very serious action-drama."
