~ He was director Brett Ratner’s running favorite choice to play Clark Kent / Superman in Ratner’s remake of SUPERMAN (1978). When Ratner left the project, Bryan Singer signed on and the film became a sequel, instead, SUPERMAN RETURNS (2006), Bomer auditioned for the role of “Superman” for Singer but Brandon Routh was cast, instead. [I’m actually glad he didn’t get chosen and I’m sure he is, too, since it sucked big hairy ones. He’d make a good Superman on TV, if Tom Welling hadn’t been chosen]
~ After missing out on the Superman role in 2004, he was later cast to portray Clark Kent/Superman in the animated film SUPERMAN: UNBOUND (2013).
~ He’s the only actor to portray Superman in both live-action and animated form. He voiced Superman in the film SUPERMAN: UNBOUND (2013), and played Superman onscreen in two Toyota Prius commercials.
