Okay, I started to get into this over in OPPYH's thread ( http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=21860&m=329122#329122), then decided not to hijack it any more than I already had.

So, name your perfect Superman cast:

* Superman/Clark: Sean Maher
* Lois: ???
* Lex Luthor: Clancy Brown (from JLU --also, he's freakin' tall in real-life. Like >2m tall.)
* Jimmy Olson: Gordon Michael Woolvett (from Andromeda; he's like a younger version of Alan Tudyk, and can deliver lines at dizzying speed.)
* Perry White: Lane Smith (from Lois & Clark)
* Ron Troupe: Anthony Montgomery (Mayweather from Star Trek: Enterprise)
* Jonathan Kent: Eddie Jones (from Lois & Clark)
* Martha Kent: K Callan (from Lois & Clark)
* Dan Turpin: Michael Hogan (Col. Tigh from Battlestar Galactica, just 'cause he and Sackhoff have such great chemistry)
* Maggie Sawyer: Katee Sackhoff (from Battlestar Galactica)
* Emile Hamilton: Christopher Lloyd
* The Guardian: Adam Baldwin
* Dubbilex: Leonard Nimoy (since Dub' is basically Spock with horns)
* The Eradicator: Mark Harmon (from NCIS)
* Steel: Shaquille O'Neill (Yeah, I know he's a sucky actor, but the character was basically created with him as a template, right down to the S-shield tattoo. It'd be unfair to not cast him. We'll just make sure he has a great script and director)
* Superboy: ???
* Supergirl 1 (Matrix): ???
* Supergirl 2 (Linda Danvers): ???/??? (she shapeshifts between "Linda" & "Supergirl")
* Supergirl 3 (Kara Zor-El): Laura Bertram (from Andromeda)
* Buzz (Linda Danvers' sidekick): James Marsters

(EDITED because I changed my mind; Jewel is too good-looking to play Linda Danvers. Whole point is that Linda's plain-looking.)

As you can see, I'm missing a few, so let's see your lists.

For 'Lois' I would pick Allison Mack (Smallville). I think she would have made a better 'Lois' than Erica D. on that series...and she definitely has a lot more personality than Kate B. in "Superman Returns"!
