The other one (Justin Whalin) was great and stayed for longer than Michael but I´ve always thought the older version of Jimmy was more suitable. what do you guys think about it?

He was such a cutie and really fit the role for me. ~Liz Lois: Can I go? Clark: No. Lois: Oh come on, Clark, why do we go through this? We both know I’m going to go. Clark: Then why do you ask? Lois: I’m trying to be nice.

He grinned at her - a goofy, Clark Kent kind of a grin. "I have a gift for understatement." "You can say that again," she told him. "I have a...." "Oh, shut up." --Stardust, Caroline K

But I do think generally overall, that JW played the character much more in sync with what I expect from Jimmy Olsen. ML was just a little too street savvy, grown up and with it for me. JW had that touch of Jimmy as fumbling around desperately trying to emulate his elders, slightly in awe of the greats at the DP, a kid trying to make it, that was just right for me. Plus, I have to confess that having previously seen Justin do a stunning poignant and very moving portrayal of a criminal who was really a lost soul and not as tough as he tried to pretend in an episode of Young Riders, I was seriously impressed with him long before I got to LNC.

I have, however, been snooping around the Net for photos of Michael Landes, and I have to say that I STILL think Justin Whalin fit the role much better... -You've got serious thrill issues, duuude! -- Crush (Finding Nemo) -After all, to the well-organised mind, death is but the next great adventure. --Albus Dumbledore (Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone)
