Has Brandon Routh Been In Anything Else?
On the Gilmore Girls
Return to
Brandon Routh was born and raised in Des Moines, Iowa and attended the University of Iowa until he decided to pack up and move to Hollywood. His career took off slowly. In 1999 he got his first acting job, cast in an episode of “Odd Man Out” an ABC television show. That same year he also was in the music video for Christina Aguilera’s hit song “What A Girl Wants”.
In 2000, Brandon was cast in four episodes of MTV’s
late night soap “Undressed” and also appeared on an episode of the
WB’s “Gilmore Girls”. Then,
in 2001 and 2002, Brandon co-starred on the daytime soap opera, “One
Life To Live”, playing Seth Anderson.
Since then, he has had several small parts on “Will and Grace”,
“Oliver Beane” and “Cold Case”.
Brandon has learned a lot since first starting out.
He feels his time spent on the soap opera “One Life To Live”
was filled with both ups and downs. He
said the soap experience is interesting but is not for everyone.
Some actors love it, others do not.
He was not happy with the way he was let go from the show, but felt
he was ready to go. Brandon
was angry for a while, and then just chalked it up to a learning
experience. It turned out that he got the Superman role partially because
of his work on the soap opera, so the situation definitely worked out for
the best.
