Jeff East (born October 27, 1957) is an American actor. East is well-known for his role in the 1978 hit film "Superman" as the young Clark Kent.

East bears a striking resemblance to actor Lance Guest, the star of the film "The Last Starfighter".

Film and television credits

Other films he starred in include "Tom Sawyer" (1973), "Huckleberry Finn (1974 film)" (1974), "Flight of the Wolf" (1974), "Summer Of Fear aka "Stranger In Our House"" (1978), "Klondike Fever" (1980), "Deadly Blessing" (1981), "Up the Creek" (1984), "Dream West" (1986), "Another Chance" (1989), "Pumpkinhead" (1989), and "Deadly Exposure" (1993).

East also starred in the 1983 TV movie "The Day After". His TV guest appearances include "M*A*S*H", "Otherworld", and "Shades of L.A.".

"Superman: The Movie" dialogue dubbing

Unbeknownst to East, his "Superman" dialogue was dubbed over by Christopher Reeve, a situation which he admits led to some tension between the two actors. The only time his real voice is heard in the film is when he yells "Whooooooooooo" when narrowly speeding past a train.

Personal

In 1987, East became involved in real estate development with his father. In February 2004, East moved back to Kansas City to take over his father's commercial real estate company.

East has been married twice. His first marriage was to Lori Gates, producing two children, Alexander Gates East (born 1984) and Madison Gates East (born 1987). His second marriage was short lived and produced no children.

Jeff East currently resides in the Kansas City area and is a ProducerDirector working on two films (2008).
