Okay, let's get one thing straight - Brandon Routh is NOT a "superman." However, he does play a Superman in the impending film release, Superman Returns.

This is no small thing. Despite the fame, fortune and glamour, being an actor is hard work. When one is on the set, they're working 12-16 hours a day, often having to do a shot several times - or worse, having to just stand by with nothing to do. Small wonder then, that folks in the "profession" look for an escape. Sadly, in too many cases, this "escape" takes the form of drugs or alcohol.

In Mr. Routh's case, that escape is World Of Warcraft. "I just like that world. I love medieval time and swords and horses and that kind of thing," Routh says. "It's fun to live that out, and I can play with some friends who also enjoy the game. It's challenging and mentally engaging. It's just fun."

Mr. Routh declined to say who his character is, or on which realm he plays.
