'The adventures of Superman when he was a young man...who, disguised as Clark Kent, mild-mannered journalism student at Shuster University, fights a never-ending battle for truth, justice and the humanitarian way!'
I didn't mention actor Gerard Christopher when I listed the actors who have played Superman in the post above. First off, I'm not sure that many people know about Christopher, and his role in the series Superboy. (1988-1992) I hadn't really heard of the show until recently, but had seen images of Christopher from his days as a model. Christopher actually was the second actor in the role, replacing actor John Newton in the show's second season.
Some fans of retro male models from the 1980's might have seen images of Christopher, then credited by several names, including Christopher DiNome. DiNome worked on many high profile campaigns, and with some iconic photographers including the iconic Ken Haak.
In addition to his role as Superboy, Christopher also had roles in shows including; Melrose Place, Murphy's Law and Silk Stockings. He also appeared on several daytime soaps including: General Hospital, Sunset Beach and Days of our Lives. Although he appears to have retired from acting, Christopher still pops up at sci-fi and celebrity conventions promoting his time as Superboy. From som recent convention shots that I've seen, he's still looking hot as he breezes through his sixties.

Tomboy (1985)
Although he had quite a few sexy scenes on television, I believe he showed the most skin playing Randy Star in the 1985 comedy Tomboy.
