My opinion
Superman - It may be a very common opinion but the actor who best portrayed The Man of Steel Live action is Christopher Reeve. His attitude and voice were almost perfect. He looked like Superman and his costume was the closest to the comics Superman. He had his flaws but he was still the best live action Superman so far.
Clark Kent - Christopher Reeve's Superman may have been the best but not his Clark Kent. He was too silly and campy. Dean Cain played the best Clark as an adult who was secretly Superman and Tom Welling played the best Clark Kent as a teenager and a man preparing to become The Man of Steel. Dean Cain played Clark Kent as a smart reporter and his Clark Kent was a lot like John Byrne's Reboot where Clark was the real guy and Superman was the disguise. Tom Welling plays a great coming of age Superman. Though he has his flaws (Like always being a wimp around Lana), he still is the best Clark Kent before he was Superman.
Lois Lane - Erica Durance would probably be at the top of my list as best Lois Lane (Her attitude and good looks are very Lois like) if she met the Man of Steel but since she didn't, its Teri Hatcher. Though not as pretty or tough as Erica, she is still strong and has attitude. Able to melt at the sight of Superman and dismiss Clark without a second thought, Teri played Lois as a tough as nails reporter who got into trouble very often and even though she always needed rescueing from Superman, she still wasn't gonna go down a martyr. When she finally decided she loved Clark and found out he was secretly the man in tights, she became a kind and understanding woman who was always ready to make excuses for her love as he dashed off to become Superman.
Lex Luthor - Michael Rosenbaum was a pure evil Lex Luthor who made you just want Clark to strangle to death. Even when he was Clark's friend you could easily tell he was pure evil as his looks and facial expressions clearly gave away. He was truly a disturbing and creepy son of a.. Never mind. He played the best EVIL Lex Luthor, but if Michael were playing Lex the same way he played him in Smallville during the time when Lex met Superman and was the supposed Saint of Metropolis, he wouldn't be able to do it unless he changed his tactics. The people of Metropolis would look incredibly stupid to not know he was evil, he has it written all over his face. John Shea played the best DECEIVING Lex Luthor, able to hide behind the public eye and commit serious crimes and cover them up while still retaining his HERO image to the public is pretty darn good. In Lois %26amp; Clark, only Superman knew Lex was truly a monster and even Lois thought Lex was a good guy. So in the end, both actors played the character the best in different ways. Michael was purely evil as Luthor and John was a deceiving one. But all in all, the best goes Michael even though he is missing a critical trait Lex Luthor needs.
Jonathan Kent - Its pretty much a no brainer. John Schneider's Jonathan was a purely good, salt of the earth guy who had a temper but looked to be one of the best Dads on the Earth. He was very Fatherly and loving and sometimes made Clark look selfish and mean compared to him (A lot of times when Jonathan was giving fatherly advice to Clark, and Clark just dismissed it or yelled at his Father, I thought Clark was being quite mean). When he died in the 5th season, it was pretty darn sad. In the end, John Schneider was THE best Jonathan Kent and he set a standard that will be hard to beat.
Martha Kent - Annette O'Toole was hands down the best Martha Kent. She was kind and caring and saw the good in such evil men like Lionel Luthor (Who turned out to become a very good man) where her husband, Jonathan, could not. She was also tough and could defend herself. In the end, Annette O'Toole played the best Martha Kent to date.
Perry White - Lane Smith was THE BEST Perry White. It was much better to hear "Great Shades of Elvis" then "Great Caesar's Ghost." He was funny as heck, and was the first and only Perry White who was looking for the truth in what he published rather than just "STUFF" that sells newspapers. Making him an Elvis fan that would use stories of Elvis' life to lecture Clark, Lois and Jimmy was pure genius. Its nearly impossible to beat this standard and since nobody has really tried, then Lane Smith will R.I.P knowing he is the best Perry White ever.
Jimmy Olsen - Aaron Ashmore is very good but Justin Whalin was the best. He was funny and nerdy at the same time as being a computer whiz and a photographer who helped Lois and Clark get that imformation they needed to write their story. Although it was a mistake to recast Michael Landes, Ju|||I agree with everything you said. If I had to pick, I would pick the same people you did.
Christopher Reeve was the best superman, but I think he played a dorky Clark kent, so Dean Cain or Tom welling was probably the best Clark.
I like Erica Durance and Teri Hatcher as Lois, because they both wouldn't give up without a fight, but I think I like Teri more.
I think Michael Rosenbaum was the best Lex luthor, because he is more evil than other Lex Luthors and he does things differently than others
And John Schneider was the best Jonathan kent because he was always there for Clark.
And I think that Annete O toole was the best Martha because when Clark was feeling sad she could always cheer him up
I think that Lane Smith was the best Perry White, because as you mentioned, he was very funny compared to others
And as you mentioned I think Justin Whalin was the best Jimmy because he was funny and he helped Lois and Clark.
