When I was a child, Christopher Reeve inspired me by bringing my favorite hero to life. And when I say "to life," I don't use those words lightly. He took a two-dimensional cartoon cut-out and made that character a living, breathing man.

In my teens and early twenties, as I began to take up acting as a hobby, he inspired me as an outstanding actor. His performances in movies like Somewhere in Time, Deathtrap, and Remains of the Day were outstanding. He had the chops.

After his paralyzing accident, he inspired the world. He redefined the word "perseverance."

Now he's gone, far too young.

Thank you, godspeed, and rest in peace, Chris. In your name, your fight will go on.
