The deeply beloved actor and humanitarian was born on this day in 1952.

“A lot of them said, ‘That is it, boy. Down the drain. Bye-bye. It’s boots forever. Take it while you can.’ But they hadn’t read the material. And I took the gamble that the material was actually straight enough and classy enough that I could get away with it,” Reeve said. “So it was a calculated risk that actually accelerated the pace of my career.

Reeve would play Superman in four films over the span of a decade. He noted in other interviews that he never felt typecast due to the role and made sure to take an assortment of projects because he was a serious, versatile actor.
