He was one of the candidates considered- but the producers later just wanted an unknown so Superman would be seen as the character and not the actor in the outfit.

Who played the original Superman on the TV series?

Before TV came into being, there was a Superman radio show. It ran from 1940 to 1951. Bud Collyer was the voice of Superman for the show and portrayed him for more years than any other actor.It looks like Kirk Alyn was the first actor to play Superman on screen, in the 1948 film serial Superman, and its 1950 sequel Atom Man Vs. 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.
