Bud Collyer Superman

This entry represents the only radio version of Superman on this list – and he was played by the late Clayton “Bud” Collyer. Collyer was famous for being one of the first television game show personalities in America, but he was also famous in the roles of Clark Kent AKA Superman on radio and in animated shorts.

The role began in the 1940s on the radio show The Adventures of Superman and he reprised the role in some animated shows – including in 1966 on The New Adventures of Superman.

Collyer died in 1969, but he will forever be remembered as one of the most iconic and unique versions of the Man of Steel, given that it was the first to be depicted in audio only – and he did a damn good job of it.
