Okay, my first video here... Uh, yeah.

This is one of my long-time favorit songs. It's called The Actor and it's performed by MLTR (which is short for Michael Learns To Rock).

After seeing Barbarians at the Planet and House of Luthor, I immediately thought of this song and I just had to make a movie out of it. Though, it was hard to find clips to all the "I'm not an actor..." lines. :p

Dedicated to LabRat for being such a wonderful beta and over-all person. thumbsup

Nice first video. I had never heard the song before, but I liked your take on it. Keep up the good work with more.


Thanks, Judy

Very nicely, done, Cherry! I hadn't heard the song before, but I like it and the Lex/Clark rivalry angle was a perfect match for the lyrics.

Laughed at Lois pulling up in her shiny new car over 'I don't even have my own car..." LOL!

You had some inspired matches here. I liked the use of dialogue over the instrumental section - instrumental sections are hard to do and that was a solution that I would probably never thought of, so kudos there for being inventive. And I liked the way you used the black and white images.

This truly was a little gem that brightened my day. Thanks for sharing, Cherry, and hope you do more of these!

blush Thank you! That was such a sweet thought. And now...ahem...guess I'd better live up to the credit and go do that beta reading I promised you (and a few others <g>).... wink

This was really good!! MTLR is always enjoyable, and the clips you chose were perfect for the song...especially those pertaining to not having his own car smile I imagine those were interesting to pick out. You chose some really novel clips as well.

And your picture quality was thumbsup

I'll be honest, I almost passed this video up. But I can honestly say I'm glad I didn't. I LOVED the song. I loved the black and white you used. I loved how it fit clark. I loved this video. I loved it.
