We talk a lot here about ACTORS and ROLES. How to cast certain roles and how to play them. When the role in question is a SUPERHERO (or a super hero), it changes the equation for actor and whoever’s hiring them. Some actors – like BRANDON ROUTH – seem almost fated to play certain roles – in Brandon’s case SUPERMAN.
As a kid, he dreamed about playing Superman – while growing up in IOWA – in the MID-WEST – in the middle of the corn belt. You know, just like Clark Kent and Superman.
When Brandon got to LA, he learned that WARNER BROS was planning a Superman reboot.
Equal parts hustle, circumstance and luck got him not just an audition for Superman, but the role itself in SUPERMAN RETURNS. What was it like pup on the red cape that other actors – some of them legendary – have put on as well?
Brandon has found peace with Superman. Since Superman Returns, Brandon has donned the cape for LEGENDS OF TOMORROW and the BATWOMAN TV series.
He plays another superhero – RAY PALMER/THE ATOM on CW’s ARROW. Of course, Brandon’s done lots of other things, too.
That’s really what this interview’s about. That and learning how to be super when NOT wearing the cape.
Ultimately, that’s where this conversation leads.
