In a conversation with PEOPLE magazine, he recalls how it happened.<\/p>\n<p> \u00abI was filming a movie in Spain with Gene Hackman called <em>\u00ab&quot;March or Death&quot;,<\/em> &quot;And they sent me a script, then another one to Gene, and then invited us to London,&quot; O&#039;Halloran recalls. They met with director Richard Donner, who offered O&#039;Halloran the role of a deaf-mute character.<\/p>\n<p> \u00ab&quot;And I said, &#039;You know, I completely accept that,&#039;&quot; the actor replied.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Don&#039;t miss any news - subscribe to<\/strong> <strong>free daily newsletter PEOPLE<\/strong> <strong>, to stay up-to-date on the best PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human stories.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p> Jack O&#039;Halloran in Superman II (Photo: Warner Bros\/Dc Comics\/Kobal\/Shutterstock)<\/p>\n<p> Donner was surprised by the reaction, but O&#039;Halloran explained: &quot;Jackie Gleason was a friend of mine, he did a very good movie called <em>\u00ab&quot;Zhigot&quot;\u00bb<\/em> . I said, &#039;If I ever get the chance to do a movie where I have to use body language, facial expressions, I&#039;d love to do it.&#039; And he thought it was a brilliant move because the character I played, Non, was a big scientist, and he got a lobotomy because he was interacting with Zod. So it all worked out perfectly.&quot;.<\/p>\n<p> O&#039;Halloran landed the role, and Hackman was eventually cast as Lex Luthor. Of working with Christopher Reeve, who played Superman, in these films, O&#039;Halloran said, &quot;Christopher was a good guy.&quot;.<\/p>\n<p> \u00ab&quot;It was his first big film and he came from a very rich family, so he was like a spoiled kid,&quot; he laughed.<\/p>\n<p> \u00ab&quot;When you work with someone for three years, you start to bond with them. But when he came on set, he was a skinny guy weighing 175 pounds, but Donner saw something in him that he liked. David Prowse, who worked on Darth Vader, and I trained Christopher together, and we put on 20 pounds. They bulked him up and made his physique quite expressive because he had ego issues, and it worked well.&quot;. <\/p>\n<p> Christopher Reeve as Superman.

He transitioned from Superman to Clark Kent better than anyone else.&quot;.<\/p>\n<p> O&#039;Halloran credited Donner for &quot;letting me go and letting me do what I&#039;m good at.&quot;.<\/p>\n<p> \u00abIt went pretty well. And I remember the first time I did Comic-Con, and someone came up to me and said, \u201eYour character scared the shit out of me, but I loved it so much.\u201c And I said, \u201eOh, thank you.\u201c And he said, \u201eOh, my God, can you talk?\u201c I said, \u201eI must have done pretty well if you think I can\u2019t talk.\u201c\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p> Read the original article on People.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEED TO KNOW: Jack O&#039;Halloran played Non in Superman and Superman II.
