David Corenswet prepares to don the cape of the most famous superhero of all time

THE NEW SUPERMAN, DAVID CORENSWET, resides not in Metropolis but a suburb of Philadelphia. He's close enough to the downtown train station that his commute to Manhattan, he claims, feels shorter than when he lived in Brooklyn as a struggling actor.

I just want to be convinced.” Despite being told he was “too intellectual” and “too analytical” for Hollywood, he was swept into the Ryan Murphy universe, starring in the 2019 series The Politician and in 2020's Hollywood before leveling up to feature films: he played the bad guy in

5 ways to ease nighttime your anxiety
SWEET DREAMS ARE MORE like a pipe dream when 12 a.m. turns into 2 a.m.-and you still can't stop worrying about all the work you have to do, the bills you need to pay, the argument you had with your sister, and the feeling that you maybe, probably, definitely are going to die sooner than you should because of a lack of sleep.
