COMING SUNDAY
Animation news -- and much more!
Phil Morris is playing the Martian Manhunter in The CW's Smallville, The Continuum has learned.
Morris, 47, has dozens of television roles in his resume but perhaps is best known as Jackie Chiles, the Johnnie Cochrane-like laywer, in several episodes of Seinfeld.
He has guest-starred on such shows as NCIS, JAG, Will & Grace, Still Standing, Girlfriends, Star Trek: Voyager, Melrose Place, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Beverly Hills 90210.
Morris has previous experience with the Justice League. He provided the voice of Vandal Savage for six episodes of Cartoon Network's Justice League, one of numerous voiceovers he has done. Other shows include Danny Phantom, Kim Possible, Static Shock and The PJs.
Look for more on Smallville soon here in The Continuum.
