Christopher Reeve did quite a bit of work other than Superman, too. He was just best known for playing Superman (and frankly, he did a very good job of it).
Most of the "curses" from this photoplasty were stretches at best, but I decided to post this here because of all the debate in some circles over the "Superman curse."
Getting known for playing a particular character isn't limited to people in Superman films and TV shows. It actually happens pretty frequently. Some actors get past that, while others don't (for example, Leonard Nimoy played lots of different characters, but he was always known for playing Spock).
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
