Question: Who the first actor who portrayed the role of superman
Answers: Who the first actor who portrayed the role of superman
1- Bud Collyer (on radio)
2- Kirk Alyn (1st movie Superman in 40's)
3- George Reeves (50'sTV)
4- Christopher Reeve (70's/80's movies)
5- Dean Cain (90's TV)
6- Tom Welling (Though technically Clark Kent) (present TV)
7- Brandon Routh (present movie(s) )
Aparently there will soon be another as Brandon Routh has turned down the role in the upcoming Justice League movie which could mean 2 different movie 'Supermen' and a TV young Superman in existence all at once.
George Reeves was the first one I remember, but I guess Kirk Alyn was in the 40's
The old Superman actor would be the great Christopher Reeves.

George Reeves? He was on the old black and white t.v. show. If you are wondering about the movies from the 70's/80's it was Christopher Reeves... no relation.
Christopher Reeves
George Reeves played Superman in the "Adventures of Superman" in the TV-Series that ran from 1952-1958.
In movies, Christopher Reeve (no "s" on his last name) played Superman in the 1978 movie "Superman".
Superman started as a cartoon in 1941 with Bud Collyer
give Clark Kent his voice.
The first one I remember is George Reeve, but I think there was one before him....
Kirk Alyn played Superman in the 1948 series. Then George Reeves played him in the Adventures Of Superman. In the first major Superman movie Christopher Reeve played Superman.
If you're talking about the 1970's movies then it would be Christopher Reeve.
1950's, I believe it was George Reeves.
Hope this helps
