George Young Newbern (born December 10, 1964 in Little Rock, Arkansas) is an American television and film actor.
Newbern's first lead role was in 1987's Double Switch, a retelling of The Prince and the Pauper that aired as a part of the Wonderful World of Disney television series. Updating the classic story for the 1980s, Newbern handled the role of Bart, a teenage rock star longing for a normal life, and also the role of Matt, a brainy high school student desperate to be popular. Newbern also had a recurring role as the son of designer Julia Sugarbaker (played by Dixie Carter) on the 1990s series Designing Women. He has since guest starred on television in such series as Providence, Chicago Hope, Friends, Bull, and CSI.
His movie acting credits include Adventures in Babysitting (1987) with Elisabeth Shue; Switching Channels (1988) with Kathleen Turner, Burt Reynolds and Christopher Reeve; and Father of the Bride (1991) and its sequel " Father of the Bride Part II" with Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, Kimberly Williams, and Martin Short.
Newbern was the voice of Superman on the Cartoon Network series Justice League and its sequel Justice League Unlimited, replacing actor Tim Daly, who had contractual obligations elsewhere. He returned to the role in The Batman's fifth season two part opener "The Batman/Superman Story", though that series exists in a different continuity.
Newbern, whose voice acting career began in 1991 with the cartoon series The Pirates of Dark Water, has also done voiceovers on a number of video games and game-related productions. He provided the voice of Sephiroth in the English-language releases of Final Fantasy VII Advent Children, Kingdom Hearts II and Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, and also voiced Mevyn Nooj in Final Fantasy X-2.
