[edit] Jewish?

Someone added the "Jewish Americans" category a while ago. Does anyone know if that's actually fact-based or just speculation? Vulturell 20:34, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

He's not Jewish. [User: EricKitt]

[edit] The "bulge" controversy

This is a serious matter, not a joke. The digital editing of Brandon Routh's Superman costume pants volume and the subsequent measures to reduce it are all but ignored in this article. --200.178.22.27 15:58, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Because the "controversy" has no source other than a nameless "studio insider". It's about as believable as a David Manning review.--201.242.46.168 11:04, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Wow. Why was this even added? Do you think that people who look at Routh's Wiki page even want to know that his package was digitally reduced? --user:Chadtank, 4 December 2006

[edit] GA Passed

Congratulations! The article passed. I'm impressed with the straightforward, positive, neutral and yet not idolizing tone of this Actor article. You reference thoroughly, although I'd like to see a few print sources to bolster it. --CTSWyneken^(talk) 01:12, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

• Thanks for the compliments! It's another GA actor article on my belt (well, actor articles are the only ones I do:) ) Mad Jack 01:21, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Succession box

The box of actors playing Superman is confusing here - How has Brandon Routh succeeded Tom Welling, when Welling is still playing Superman? --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 15:21, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Tom Welling does not play Superman. He plays Clark Kent. Get it right. 24.251.20.115 19:06, 6 October 2006 (UTC)Nosferatu.

Simple. His debut as Superman came after Smallville was already on the air. 71.197.214.127 02:59, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Height

I'd say that Routh is actually around 6'3, he looks pretty tall. Son of Kong

IMDB lists him as 6'2.5". However, the majority of news articles have listed him as 6'3".Ealgian 21:17, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

My friend told me that on the special disc release of Superman Returns Routh said that he's 6'4. Can someone verify if this is true? Son of Kong

Unless his height becomes a notable issue, as in he was hired for Role A because he's B Tall, height is fancruft, sorry. RadioKirk (u|t|c) 04:42, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image moved

The image of Routh as Superman cannot be used to identify the actor per the already-in-place fair-use policy; its rewrite virtually forbids any fair-use images to identify a living, public person. Per this policy, I have moved the image to the Superman section, the only place where Wikipedia can claim fair use. RadioKirk (u|t|c) 03:39, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
