McKean Has White in Sight on 'Smallville'
(Friday, October 24 02:20 PM)  
 
 
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - From David St. Hubbins in "Spinal Tap" to Lenny Kosnowski on "Laverne & Shirley" to Dr. Simon August in "Young Doctors in Love, Michael McKean is no stranger to creating memorable character on the big and small screen. When he drops by "Smallville," though, McKean will be playing a character already familiar to generations of comic book, film and television fans.
 
McKean will make his first appearance on The WB's superhero drama on Wednesday, Oct. 29 playing a down-and-out reporter with a drinking problem. That reporter's name? Perry White. Down the road, of course, White becomes the editor of the Daily Planet and gives Clark Kent (Tom Welling) his first job.  
 
Jackie Cooper played White in all four of the Christopher Reeve "Superman" movies, while John Hamilton played the part in George Reeves' days in the cape. In "Lois & Clark," Lane Smith took the role
 
Since starting his career on "Laverne & Shirley," McKean has moved freely between film and television, appearing in a quirky variety of projects including "D.A.R.Y.L.," "Earthgirls Are Easy" and "Earth Girls Are Easy." He's best know for his collaborations with Christopher Guest including "Spinal Tap" (which he co-wrote), "Best in Show" and "A Mighty Wind." He also helped compose the songs for those three movies as well as Guest's "Waiting for Guffman."
 
This will also mark the first time McKean has starred on television opposite his real-life wife Annette O'Toole, who plays Martha Kent on "Smallville."

This is one TV show we do not miss.  Ever since it came on we always watch it if we are home.  And we usually are on Tuesday night, but now it is moved to Wednesday.  
We grew up watching Superman and for someone to have this great idea to show him before adulthood is great.  These young people starring the roles of Superman, Lana, etc., are such beautiful young people.l  This is one of our favorites!
