Jack O’Halloran who played Non, one of the Kryptonian supervillains in Superman – The Movie and Superman II: “Christopher had never done anything [before Superman – The Movie].
His claim to fame was a soap. Being Superman was a big step into the limelight. He thought he was a superstar. Chris started believing his own press.
He wasn’t the nicest of people until he got hurt. And when he got hurt, he became a nice person. He helped a lot of people with a lot of courage.
Prior to that, he snubbed kids, he was too busy for this, too busy for that.”

Either O’Halloran is speaking ill of the dead, or he is just suffering from a dose of professional jealousy!

Either way, his comments were definately uncalled for!

Sometimes I wonder if Jack O’Halloran is speaking ill of the dead. To quote someone from the executive board of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation, “Maybe a Phantom Zone will come and take Jack away from the Earth.”

I couldn’t have phrased it better, myself.

They’re not exactly the same type of books, but it was a coincidence to see this review only a couple days after ordering both The Kryptonite Kid and The Superlative Man.
