Superman.The first actor to play Superman on TV was George Reeves who played him from 1952 to 1958 for the TV show Adventures of Superman. Note that Reeves had already played the Man of Steel for the 1951 movie Superman and the Mole Men.Joel Nestler played the teenage Clark Kent in the first TV episode, thus he actually appeared on screen before George Reeves in the episode so it might be argued that Mr. Nestler was the first TV Superman, but Reeves probably appeared before the start of the episode during the title sequence so the argument on that technicality would still fail.
