8) Clancy Brown
Arrowverse Role: The Flash as General Wade Eiling
Other DC Universe Roles Include: Superman as Lex Luthor, Justice League/Justice League Unlimited as Lex Luthor, The Batman as Lex Luthor/Mr. Freeze/Bane, Superman/Batman: Public Enemies as Lex Luthor
Clancy Brown’s voice is known the world over as Mr. Krabs on Spongebob Squarepants, but DC anoraks will know and love (to hate) him as Superman’s nemesis Lex Luthor across various productions over the past twenty years.
Meanwhile, in live-action acting jobs, Brown usually plays gruff authority figures – and he happened to play one, General Wade Eiling, in four episodes of the first season of The Flash.
7) Teri Hatcher
Arrowverse Role: Supergirl as Queen Rhea
Other DC Universe Roles: Lois & Clark: The New Superman Adventures as Lois Lane, Smallville as Ella Lane
To many fans of a certain age, Teri Hatcher is Lois Lane, thanks to her winning portrayal of Superman’s girlfriend in classic 1990s show Lois & Clark. It’s no surprise, then, that the next generation of DC shows have found roles for her to play. First, she appeared as the mother of Erica Durance’s Lois on Smallville and she’s currently starring as the evil alien queen Rhea on Supergirl season 2. It looks likely that she’ll shape up to be the season’s big bad, as well.
