Brandon Routh. He played a really excellent Superman in a mediocre Superman movie, and a really great character with some unexpected depth in Chuck. He also played a really lame character in the Arrowverse around the time those shows started getting dumber.
But speaking of Chuck… Lachary Levi. Chuck was brilliant. He was great as the male lead voice in Tangled (which was underrated as a film compared to later entries in the second Disney Renaissance that it launched). And he was cool as Captain Marvel, but those films were kinda the epitome of forgettable superhero schlock.
Yeah, but Zachary Levi has also gone outspoken anti-vax and conservative-to-the-point-of-crazy.
Which is sad, because I loved him as Chuck but apparently failing to break out after Shazam went to his head.
Oh no. WTF‽ I had no idea. Just verified and it's not just anti-vax (though that alone is especially concerning given the recent announcement he's going to be a parent...) but also transphobic and a zionist.
That's so disappointing. I loved him in Chuck and followed him on and off for a long time after that. He seemed like such a lovely, positive guy, doing good things with Nerd HQ. This is so disappointing to learn.
Fuck man, he was supposed to be one of the good ones D: disappointing indeed :(
