Watch Michael Landes Online

Michael Christopher Landes (born 18 September 1972) is an American actor, perhaps best known for his roles of Jimmy Olsen in the first season of Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Detective Nicholas O'Malley in Special Unit 2, Officer Thomas Burke in Final Destination 2 and David Conlon in The Wedding Bells. He was not invited to reprise the role of Jimmy Olsen in the further seasons of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman because the producers perceived him to resemble lead actor Dean Cain too much, as exposed by the creator of the series in DVD commentary. Justin Whalin would take over the role of Jimmy in all the remaining three seasons of the programme. Landes was born in the Bronx, New York, the son of Patricia, an interior decorator, and Bernard Landes, a marketing consultant.[1] He married fellow actor, Wendy Benson, in October 2000. They have 2 children, Mimi and Dominic.
