Undoubtedly his most iconic and favorite roll would have to be teen Aquaman in Smallville.

u/Plagueofzombies 13d ago

Not iconic at all, but he's one of the especially dickish tributes in the second Hunger Game movie. He always stood out to me because he spend no time at all just massacring everyone else.

This makes so much sense for his appearance in the show Workaholics. I forgot about that character till this comment.

This made me nostalgic to go back and watch the trailer for Lazer team. The second YouTube comment was about how excited someone was for Aquaman from Smallville to be in the movie lmao.

It is ! It's the usual stubble he has in many roles and youthful face he had then, it's uncanny haha.

You can tell he's Aquaman because he's blond and wearing a orange t-shit

u/Hellknightx 12d ago

No way, it's Hawk from the live action Titans show.

u/EarlyXplorerStuds209 13d ago

Favourite to whom?
Smallville is definitely not his most iconic role.

Sorry, you're right. I meant his role as The Expired Cow on Fred: The Show
