...book industry after World War II; in Mineola, N.Y. As a science-fiction literary agent in the 1940s, he sold an unknown Ray Bradbury's first stories. Later, as an editor at DC Comics, he revived such superheroes as the Flash and Green Lantern, and in the 1970s updated Superman, giving his alter ego, Clark Kent, a new job--as a TV reporter...
...know people sometimes think I'm Superman, reading every script. The truth is, I read virtually none. I don't look at dailies anymore. I did not get a glimpse of the movie until it was put together. It wasn't until the rough cut that you get hit with what the piece is about...

Still, he endured voice and dance lessons and released Mando-pop albums with titles such as Tenderhearted Superman. When the time came to parlay his local celebrity into a film career (routine for Taiwan's idol factory), he perversely shunned roles in safe, saccharine vehicles, insisting instead on quirkier character parts. He won acclaim in his second movie for his role as a lovelorn cop in Wong...
