Transcript
00:00Everybody's looking for a hero.
00:07I am not a hero.
00:11That was a part. I played the part. I'm not that man.
00:14Hands down, he was Superman from day one.
00:21I realized that if I could pull off this part, it would change my life.
00:25John Hausman said, Mr. Reeve, it is very important to become a serious classical actor.
00:30Unless, of course, they offer you a load of money to do something else.
00:36He convinced me when I first met him that he would fly.
00:40Doing things with my dad, it was all about activity and action.
00:44Riding bikes, playing soccer, skiing.
00:49My dad was very competitive and he didn't necessarily slow down.
00:54We said goodbye and he gave this wave.
00:59That was the last time I saw him on his feet.
01:06Mr. Reeve currently has no movement or spontaneous respiration.
01:10Superman, crazy. Just that simple little thing over the horse.
01:14I ruined my life and everybody else's.
01:18I want people to ski, sail, throw a ball to Will.
01:22I want people to make love to Dana. Maybe we should let me go.
01:27She came flying in and she just yelled, I love you, I love you.
01:32And then she said, the words saved my life.
01:36You're still you and I love you.
01:42He and Robin were such good friends because they could match each other.
01:46Robin also had struggles that he dealt with his whole life.
01:49And I think that they both were aware of darkness.
01:53Brother Chris is fighting like crazy.
01:55When you find people who fight like that but still keep their humanity, that gives you great hope.
02:00That is tough because I can feel him, but he can't feel me.
02:04It must have been hell for my mom too, knowing that she had lost.
02:11I felt I needed to do something, not just for myself, but for everyone else in the same condition.
02:17The fact that Superman was in a wheelchair and was willing to go public with it was huge.
02:24Help is on the way.
02:32The Christopher and Dana Reeve Paralysis Act.
02:37People are literally walking because of him.
02:46What is a hero?
02:49My answer was that a hero is someone who commits a courageous action without considering the consequences.
03:00Now my definition is completely different.
03:03I think a hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.
03:15I wouldn't have missed this for the world.
