Gerard Christopher

Gerard Christopher (born May 11, 1959, in New York City) is an American actor, writer and producer.

He was the second actor to play the eponymous role in the television series Superboy (from 1989 to 1992), replacing John Haymes Newton, who played the role in season one (1988–1989).

He has performed in a number of telemovies and was a guest star on daytime soap operas such as Days of Our Lives and Sunset Beach, and the prime-time soap opera Melrose Place.

When the producers learned he had essentially already played the role, he was dismissed in favor of Dean Cain.

He also appeared as himself on the 2006 television documentary Look, Up in the Sky: The Amazing Story of Superman talking about his time on Superboy.
