With an impressive volume of work already behind him by the tender age of 23, boyish Sam Huntington was poised to enter the public zeitgeist with his casting as Jimmy Olsen, famous pal of the Man of Steel in “Superman Returns” (lensed 2005). He was cast with newcomer Brandon Routh, just three years older, who won the role of the Man of Steel in director Bryan Singer’s highly anticipated superhero opus after several failed attempts at getting the franchise off the ground again by such interested helmers as Tim Burton, Wolfgang Peterson, McG, and Brett Ratner.Born in Peterborough, New Hampshire
