Jack Larson as Jimmy Olsen
Jack Larson who played Jimmy Olsen in the 50's series "The Adventures of Superman" died yesterday at the age of 87 according to TV Line (read the article here).
I first saw Mr. Larson on TV in the late 80's hosting an Adventures of Superman marathon on Channel 9 WWOR-TV during Thanksgiving. At the time I didn't know about the 50's TV show having only seen the Christopher Reeve "Superman" films.
Mr. Larson played Jimmy as an earnest young man who often got into trouble and needed Superman's assistance.
Now as superheroes are common place in pop culture I wanted to say "Thank You" to Mr. Larson for his contribution and being a pioneer in the genre.
