By Douglas Smith (“Big Little Lies,” “The Alienist,” “Big Love”) is set to play Daily Planet photographer Jimmy Olsen in the fourth and final season of “Superman & Lois” on The CW network.
In this series, Jimmy is being portrayed as an extroverted 20-something known for being the ‘life of the party’ in the office.
Despite his being work colleagues with Clark, he’s been unable to get Mr. Kent out of his ‘awkward’ shell. Unaware of Clark’s super-secret, Jimmy’s still determined to become his pal.
This marks Jimmy’s first appearance on “Superman & Lois,” the character previously portrayed in The CW’s Arrowverse by Mehcad Brooks on the “Supergirl” series.
Returnees for the new run this Fall include Tyler Hoechlin as Clark Kent/Superman, Elizabeth Tulloch as Lois Lane, Alex Garfin as Jordan Kent, Michael Bishop as Jonathan Kent and Michael Cudlitz as Lex Luthor.
Smith, who has also starred in the “Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters” film, is the younger brother of Gregory Smith, the “Everwood” star who is now directing and has helmed nine episodes of “Superman & Lois” across its first three seasons.
