Superman Audition Leaked?
Tue, January 4, 2011 I do a lot of posting on forums. Especially movie forums. Some might call it a waste of time, others might shout out, "Me too bro, let's drink some a 5 Hour Energy and talk about the ups and downs of Kevin Smith's career!"
Sometimes on these forums you find some interesting tidbits of information from like-minded posters who also share in your addiction to posting and lurking. A poster by the name of SuperZer0 of the Supeherohype Forums posted an interesting video today in the Superman Section.
It appears that Todd Cahoon, a TV actor, posted what seems to be an audition for the upcoming "Superman: Man of Steel" on Youtube. The video looks authentic, but how could that possibly be? There is no way WB would let an audition leak on the internet. Somebody would have to go in Human Target style and steal it for that to even be a possibility.
The only situation where this could be legit that I can think of, is that the actor and his agent sent it in to the studio once they found out WB was looking for a new actor to play Superman. That I can see.
Mr. Cahoon does look the part and seems like he could have some chops. He's been in "Burn Notice", "Desperate Housewives", and "Seven Pounds" among other tv and film appearances. Seems to be a case of an actor trying to drum up fan support and from what we know he is a tad too old for what they are looking for in the new Man of Steel.
What do you think? Fake as it gets or the real deal?

he does look the part. Not to bad of an actor. Dont know his prior work. So i dont have any judgement on him besides this vid.
I've loved Todd Cahoon since his lead in "Watch Over Me". He's hot as hell! He may be 4 years older than what they're after, but who cares? He's hot, he fits the part & is an awesome actor. Sexy central, he gets my vote!! :)
