Margot and Erica Also On Tom

Hey, if the joke gets a response once ... you should probably not use it again and make it fall deader than a dead thing. But I'm not smart.
Margot Kidder and Erica Durance were also at the Canadian National Comic Book Expo a few days ago, and just like James Marsters, Erica in particular had a few nice things to say about Tom according to a transcript at Comics Continuum.
When asked what made both Christopher Reeve and Tom so perfect for the role of Superman, Erica replied that:
Later, when asked how it is working with Tom on the show, Erica related a story (it's a story that she's told before, but it's one that I like so I'm going to mention it again ...) about her first day on set:"They have the classic American dream. The great structured face, very clean. And that kind of goes into the psyche of being a good person, for some reason. People think if they have a perfect face and really bright blue eyes, their bent is to be the good person and do good things and be heroic. And of course there's size, obviously. Both of them are big guys and that helps."
I like Erica. I do. But then I am pretty easy. The article is a really interesting read, and you should look for part two of the transcript later today - hopefully there'll be more about Tom's googly eyes! Fine, so she said blank stare. I prefer the term googly eyes. And it doesn't mean his eyes have a search engine in them; that's Google."The first time I met with Tom he came in early to start the season to read scenes with me and the producer. Right then and there I thought we've got somebody who is not buying into the fame surrounding him. He wants people to feel comfortable and he's like a Southern gentlemen, which is something I think his character brings to that Clark Kent thing. Very down to earth, very fun, very nice person."
"And I think he does a very good job. It's hard, because you get used to who they are as a person when you talk to them, then you go on set and see the transformation and that kind of blank stare that he has, like the bumbling thing [Margot] said that Chris did."

I love Tom's eyes too. He seems like a really nice person ... people always say such nice things about him.
