Summary

Today's episode is a something unique. Today we look at Hollywood and what's it's like to get in shape for the big screen.

Brandon Routh is a Hollywood actor who currently plays The Atom in the TV show DC's Legend's of Tomorrow on Netflix. Brandon is best known for playing Superman in the movie Superman Returns (2006).

Yup, he's a superhero.
