Again Jack, you are so refreshing about Chris and the films. You say it like it is and that is a rare thing these days. I live in San Diego CA, do you ever come down here to do work? Also I just wanted to add that when Superman II came out here in early summer of '81 I saw it with my brothers in New York because my family and I were going on the Queen Elizabeth II to Southampton UK. And the movie was being played on the ship as well! I loved the fact that since the movies on board were free I absolutely took total advantage of it. One scene that always cracks me up is when you were testing your heat ray vision and that kid is watching you! Thank you for answering fan questions,
Paul C.

Yes sir it has!! And the weather is still great. If I could go back in time and tell myself in 81 that I'd actually be talking to you I'd fly to the moon! And you have a great holiday too Mr. Halloran!

It really is a shame to hear how Chris Reeve treated some people in real life. I once asked an actor and proffesional trainer (who shall remain nameless) about working with Reeve, and I kid you not, he called him a "sack of beep
He more or less said that Reeve was cool the first few weeks of working, but once he put on the suit, he became extremely arrogant. As a huge Superman fan who always heard great things about Reeve, I was kind of turned off when I heard how he acted on set. He was only human, and God knows I still admire his portrayal of Superman, and the way the pulled through after the accident. -

I've heard so many stories and conflicting information about Chris, that it is hard to sift through the facts, and determine which is factual and which is not.
We may never know the full story. All I can say is this: like all people, Chris obviously got along with some people and some he did not.
Despite that, we shouldn't let that tarnish or ruin our image of Christopher Reeve.
Yes, he was a human. But, he was still a Superman to many. -

I just wanted to commend you on having the decency to speak your feelings on a subject that many probably lambaste you for. I love the first 3 Superman films (the third just for the Kent vs. Superman fight and Annette O'Toole's Lana Lang.) I loved Non as a child also. I have always felt it ridiculous that people are expected to lie about their feelings toward someone just because they're dead. Again I commend you for being real yet as respectful as possible. Lastly, thanks for Emil Muzz in Dragnet.

What is so hard to believe, when someone is truthful about something. Does everyone in life have outstanding relationships with everyone they meeet or work with. Life is what it is why can't people just leave it alone.

Maybe it's because some people are shocked that Christopher Reeve was rude to some people. They never imagined that he was like. Sometimes when a person has this image that many are used to, and they reveal a side to them that many never imagined possible, it can be quite surprising to that many people.

That is why somethings should just be left alone. Instead of beating something to death. It is what it is and leave it to that, no one is purposely out to hurt anyone.I don't know of anyone who has a perfect day everyday.

No, I don't think it is required at all. If I thought that, I would be downright insane.
Believe me, there are some people that I get along with in my line of work and some that I don't.
Like I said, I think it is surprising that Christopher Reeve was like that to some people. He seemed like a decent fellow, to me.
Obviously, he had a bad side to him that no one knew about. -

Everyone has a good and bad side, how they handle it is the thing.I don't really judge anyone but if someone ask me. I am not going to lie about.If people can't handle the answer don't ask the question.
