July 16, 2020: Worst Superman Actor - Poll Results



In the latest Superman Homepage Member Poll we asked you the following question:

Who is the worst live-action actor to play Clark Kent/Superman/Superboy?

I don't usually like to pose negative questions, preferring instead to remain positive. However, asking who the best Superman actor is doesn't necessarily give you an idea who fans think was the worst. Having said that, I'm shocked at the result of this poll. Not only because I counted Bob Holiday as a personal friend, but I don't think anyone who voted in this poll actually ever saw Bob Holiday perform in the Superman Broadway musical in 1966, so I don't understand how anyone could vote for him without having seen him perform as Superman.
