15 Reasons To Check Out ‘Smallville’ When It Hits Hulu

13: Appearances Of Superman/DC Related Actors

Smallville, while its own interpretation of the Superman mythology, was always honoring what came before with previous Superman adaptations in the media. Throughout the show’s run, we saw several Superman related actors appear on the show, with Christopher Reeve, Margot Kidder, Dean Cain, Teri Hatcher, Helen Slater, Marc McClure and Terrance Stamp, having all appeared throughout the show’s run. Seeing Reeves portray Virgil Swan, the man that would introduce Clark to his Kryptonian legacy, or Hatcher as Lois Lane’s mother or hearing Stamp be the voice of Jor-El in the Fortress of Solitude, was phenomenal. Smallville did a lot of things right and this was one of them, which was honoring and celebrating the past, while also giving the viewers a special treat.
