You auditioned for the part of Clark Kent in Superman Returns and you didn’t get it. Did you regret it?

You know what? I regret it in the sense that it’s a character that I would have loved to have played but I thought that Brandon Routh who got the job did a great job. I’ve thought he did a great job. I thought he was the right man for the job. I thought it was a lot of fun to watch and it was a lot of fun to watch him because I really liked what he did with the character. It’s a tough character. It’s been played so many times by so many people in so many different genres and mediums that it would be tough to really decide what to do. That’s why it would have been exciting for me. It would have been another fun challenge, another fun character to explore but Brandon certainly was the right man for the job. On the flipside, when I tested for Superman it was going to be directed by a man named McG who ended up not doing Superman but he ended up producing a show the next year called Supernatural. So my meeting - in my head I think, “Well, that’s the reason I tried out for Superman was to meet McG and then get Supernatural”. I think the world has a funny way of working things out. I think that’s the way it worked out.
