George Newbern (born December 10, 1964 in Little Rock, Arkansas) is an American television and film actor, known for his roles as Charlie in the ABC show Scandal and Bryan MacKenzie in Father of the Bride and its sequels.
George Newbern initially replaced Tim Daly for the part of Superman on Justice League, as the latter had been unavailable due to headlining "The Fugitive" (a remake of the 1960's TV series). Per Bruce Timm, Newbern had the same "nice guy Superman" quality voice that Daly had, while also being a good fit "continuity wise" without sounding like an exact copy.[1]Andrea Romano remarked that casting Superman was always difficult, but she was impressed with Newbern's acting, while noting he sounded a lot like the previous Superman voice.[2] Both Newbern and Daly have voiced Superman in several DC projects outside the DCAU.
Apart from Superman, Newbern is also notable for providing the voice of the Final Fantasy VII main antagonist Sephiroth in the Compilation of Final Fantasy VII and the Kingdom Hearts series.
