Talk:Brandon Routh

Picture?
Could somebody find a different picture of him because it does not look like him at all. Thank You! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.246.10.52 (talk) 17:35, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Jewish?
Someone added the "Jewish Americans" category a while ago. Does anyone know if that's actually fact-based or just speculation? Vulturell 20:34, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

He's not Jewish. [User: EricKitt]
 * He is DEFINITELY not Jewish. His entire family is Methodist. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by SkittlzAnKomboz (talk • contribs) 19:48, 12 April 2007 (UTC).

The "bulge" controversy
This is a serious matter, not a joke. The digital editing of Brandon Routh's Superman costume pants volume and the subsequent measures to reduce it are all but ignored in this article. --200.178.22.27 15:58, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Because the "controversy" has no source other than a nameless "studio insider". It's about as believable as a David Manning review.--201.242.46.168 11:04, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Wow. Why was this even added? Do you think that people who look at Routh's Wiki page even want to know that his package was digitally reduced? --user:Chadtank, 4 December 2006
 * I find it funny that you find it serious. It's not worth mentioning in this article. SkittlzAnKomboz 19:49, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I would. ;D Sion 09:57, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Brandon, is that you? ;-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.119.76.45 (talk) 09:43, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

GA Passed
Congratulations! The article passed. I'm impressed with the straightforward, positive, neutral and yet not idolizing tone of this Actor article. You reference thoroughly, although I'd like to see a few print sources to bolster it. --CTS Wyneken (talk) 01:12, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the compliments! It's another GA actor article on my belt (well, actor articles are the only ones I do:) ) Mad Jack 01:21, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Succession box
The box of actors playing Superman is confusing here - How has Brandon Routh succeeded Tom Welling, when Welling is still playing Superman? --cholmes75 (chit chat) 15:21, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Tom Welling does not play Superman. He plays Clark Kent. Get it right. 24.251.20.115 19:06, 6 October 2006 (UTC)Nosferatu.

Simple. His debut as Superman came after Smallville was already on the air. 71.197.214.127 02:59, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Height
I'd say that Routh is actually around 6'3, he looks pretty tall. Son of Kong

IMDB lists him as 6'2.5". However, the majority of news articles have listed him as 6'3".Ealgian 21:17, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

My friend told me that on the special disc release of Superman Returns Routh said that he's 6'4. Can someone verify if this is true? Son of Kong


 * Unless his height becomes a notable issue, as in he was hired for Role A because he's B Tall, height is fancruft, sorry. RadioKirk (u|t|c)  04:42, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Image moved
The image of Routh as Superman cannot be used to identify the actor per the already-in-place fair-use policy; its rewrite virtually forbids any fair-use images to identify a living, public person. Per this policy, I have moved the image to the Superman section, the only place where Wikipedia can claim fair use. RadioKirk (u|t|c)  03:39, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Norwalk Theatre of Performing Arts
I don't care what his personal web page says, there is no such thing as the Norwalk Theater of Performing Arts or whatever it's called. I know Brandon personally; he acted in high school plays and musicals. As well, I've lived in Norwalk for 22 years (ie., my entire life). We do not even have an auditorium for the high school, let alone a performing arts theatre. Therefore, I've removed that line from his page. SkittlzAnKomboz 19:46, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Muscle Issues
Hopefully for the next movie the actor will have put on 40lbs of muscle. He was a bit "skinny" in "Returns." Shouldn't be a problem in Hollywood though; if he lives in L.A., damn man, digging up a personal trainer would not be an issue. He doesn't need to look like a bodybuilder, but, his male model physique is not right for the role. He just needs to be beefier by about 40lbs.

Hayden Christensen
I just heard he is replacing Brandon Routh as Superman. Is there any truth to this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.235.132.245 (talk) 23:17, 30 March 2008 (UTC)


 * The original contract he signed had a 3-picture option (based on movie profit). As far as I know, the studio has chosen to pursue the second picture with him. However, I have not spoken to anyone in his family in easily four months (his parents were visiting him in Cali over the holidays), so that could have changed. You know how fickle Hollywood can be sometimes...SkittlzAnKomboz (talk) 02:04, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Great news,looking  forward  to  see  Superbastard  kicked  out  and  Darth  Vader  in  a  Superman  costume,see  if  u  can  clarify  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.49.42.137 (talk) 15:00, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Contract discrepancy
The article says he has signed a contract for the next two SM films but then says WB has chosen not to renew his contract. Which is it? 75.85.165.180 (talk) 08:42, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
