Jamie Aaron Kelley Search For Superman Audition

My presentation showing my qualifications for official Superman of Metropolis for 2008. A lot of love and care went into making this the best presentation possible, and I hope you'll enjoy it. :)

UPDATE: Voting is done now, thank you so much for all the support I've had in this. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. I'm proud of how the video turned out and the response to it, so I'm going to leave it up for everyone. :)

I made the top 5 in the contest, and that's thanks to all of you, and I just can't thank you enough.

Josh Boltinghouse is this year's Superman, and I congratulate him. He's physically a match for Superman, and he seems like a really nice guy to boot. :)

As for my stuff, be on the lookout for other videos, including promos for the premiere of my huge new music production show that's coming to Toronto in October.

Thanks again, everybody!

superman needs to be jacked. like im talking atleast 250 lbs.of pure muscle..arnold sized action hero. theyve already done the scrawny superman that they figured girls would love; see smallville and superman returns... both crapfestivals..... now we need a superman who can be in a fight! imagine that superman fighting someone in a movie. good luck man but i dont foresee zack snyder paroozing youtube for actors

@bradrydstrom Actually, that doesn't fit Superman. He should be 225lbs tops, which is DC's listing for his size. Anything much bigger than that and the actor can't pull off Clark Kent.. and both need to be convincing or it falls flat.

This actually wasn't for the Superman movie role, but for the hometown "Metropolis, IL" contest (which I am proud to say I got 2nd to the awesome Josh Boltinghouse). If I got the movie role, I'd definitely work with a trainer and get to Superman size.

@bradrydstrom Also, Christopher Reeve wasn't "steroid" huge, and he's most people's idea of what Superman looks like. The movie studio hired a personal trainer for him to beef up. Brandon Routh looked bigger out of the suit because it wasn't made to accent his muscles properly (see trunks and neckline), and Tom Welling - that guy's pretty muscular!

I'd love to play Superman in the movies, though. I will say, if this video were for a movie studio to see, I'd have done it quite differently.

[JediBen16]

You'd definently be better than that guy in smallville I can easily say that

[JAKalElvis]

@JediBen16 I actually think Tom Welling does a good job, overall, but I really appreciate the compliment!

"S" emblem a little too big on you...makes you look "smaller" when you should be looking "larger than life". Overall look is really good tho....obvious you can act!

[JAKalElvis]

@speculate1 Thanks for the comments! I can see what you mean, and I might do that for the next suit. This suit was made in 1993 or '95 to fit the "Dan Jurgens" era Superman (still my favorite). It's held up well for a suit that's about 15 years old. :)

@speculate1 The S emblem looks good when it's big.

I think you did a good job.Too bad they already picked that other guy whose name I can't even recall, the Brit.

[Laudanovideos]

Guy looks more like the Superboy from the Late 80's or early 90's Superboy tv Show.

[schrayce]

REspect! :D

[0oSVCo0]

there will never be another Christopher Reeve (RIP) but i hope the new superman will be closer than the last one. :D
