    Ken Wahl would've made a great Superman in his prime

    Too bad he is now in his mid 50s...











    Agree or disagree?

    He definately has the Superman look, he would have been a great choice to take over from Christopher Reeves. I think he actually resembles Reeves in a small way, and looks like Gary Franks' portrayal of Supes in the comics.

        Huh... never heard of him before now, but he looks like he could've played an awesome Supes. He looks like he has that right combination of bad-a**ery and compassion that Superman needs -- someone who's good at staring down criminals with a cold, steely gaze, but also good at rescuing kittens from trees without looking embarrassed about it.

            definitely...he was bad *** as Vinny Taranova in Wiseguy as well as Richie the leader of the Wanderers in The Wanderers.

              I think he was in an accident. I really liked him in Wiseguy.

                Yes,He would have been a great Superman in his prime.
                He had a few serious accidents, including falling down a staircase that injured his neck, and a nearly fatal motorcycle accident in 1992.
                The fallout from these injuries has hampered his career, despite receiving positive reviews for role in the 1996 TV Movie update of Wiseguy.
                I'm here to fight for truth, and justice, and the American way.

                  I kinda think he looks like Brandon Routh.

                    but with testosterone

                    Besides the previous point ( I really don't like Routh at all) I agree. I actually thought about that casting years ago.

                      He does have a Superman type look but his Italian Chicago accent I think was a bit too heavy....Scene1: Hey Luthor Bite me ok Bite me and your whole friggin generation!

                        ^^ yeah I was thinking along the same lines, right look,. wrong voice.
                        he is great in the right role but unfortunately his career faded after his injuries. I think he married one of the Barbie twins too

                          It's funny because I think Brandon Routh is a cross between Ken Wahl and Christopher Reeve.
