Deadline: Jack Larson, an actor, playwright, producer and screenwriter best known from the classic 1950s comic book series The Adventures of Superman, died Sunday in his Brentwood home. He was 87 years old.
Always loved how he could project so much sincerity into a part other actors would have phoned in. And Laurence Olivier praised him in his memoirs--for his stage work, not ADVENTURES OF SUPERRMAN.

I suspect it wasn't easy for him to get movie and TV work after being typed as Jimmy Olsen.
Jeepers!
