Tom Cavanagh’s ‘Superman & Lois’ Role Revealed
deadline.comSPOILER ALERT: The article contains details about Superman & Lois. Tom Cavanagh has made his highly-anticipated return to The CW‘s extended DC universe after The Flash ended its nine-season run last year.
On Monday’s Season 4 episode of Superman & Lois, ‘Sharp Dressed Man’, the actor appears as TV journalist Gordon Godfrey, moderating a live televised debate between Lois Lane (Elizabeth Tulloch) and Lex Luthor (Michael Cudlitz, who also directed the episode).
