Living, age-appropriate actors only, please.

I can answer this question for a huge chunk of people here-- an unknown. I can't think of a popular actor that looks like Superman to me (at least that I can think of offhand).

Fine, but for the sake of funsies, pick a known actor who you'd pick if there were a gun to your head.

He was my first pick for Hal Jordan, but I also think that Henry Cavill would make a fine, no, very fine Superman.

Does Tom Welling count? Since he's playing Clark Kent on Smallville I'm not sure if he qualifies for this thread? If so then him.

Even though he's the Punisher, my first thought was of Thomas Jane from the list of modern actors out there.

Both Tom Welling and Henry Cavill are too "pretty boy" for my tastes-- they just don't seem very masculine. Or at least, they're not as masculine as Superman should be.

Out of left field, but I remember watching Damages and thinking Noah Bean really resembled Christopher Reeve.

He'd need to bulk up though.

Right now, as much as it pains me because there was so little I liked in his movie, I'd have to say the incumbent, Brandon Routh.

Best choice in this thread so far, actually. At least he looks manly.

Tebow needs to lose the eye black so that he squints more.

We need a squinting Superman.

IAWTP. His appearances on CHUCK this season as Daniel Shaw showed me that he really is a skilled actor, and I'd like to see him get another shot at the role.

I'd pay to see Routh again (sans-Singer).

Routh was great and I'd like to see him again. He played a better Clark than Reeves and an excellent Supes. Just dump the child baggage, bring in Brainiac with a Zod chaser and I'm there. the football player above looks too much like a meathead for my tastes.
