When it comes to DC shows on the CW, it’s not at all uncommon for actors to play multiple characters in a series. But just because actors are called upon to play multiple characters, that doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll enjoy playing each and every one of them.
Actor David Harewood plays J’onn J’onnz on the show, but he also portrayed Cyborg Superman in season 2. During a recent interview at Supernova Comic Convention in Australia, Harewood talked about the character, and he made it clear that he’s doesn’t like playng Cyborg Superman.
“I don’t like playing Cyborg Superman,” Harewood revealed via CBM. “It’s boring. They didn’t really flesh it out, they didn’t really write for the character. They just gave me this rather cheap-looking mask and no costume, and said ‘Okay, you’re Cyborg Superman.’ But it didn’t really pan out – they didn’t really go into why he was a cyborg, how he became a cyborg, what his powers were … it was just kind of randomly calling him ‘Cyborg Superman.’ I was very excited about it at first, but then I very quickly realized that there wasn’t really much to it so, it’s kind of boring. Whenever I’m walking to my trailer and I see that costume, I just switch off. Because I know it’s going to be a really boring day.”
