_____Jonathan Kent


Jonathan Schneider (Jonathan Kent)

John Schneider was born in 1954 in Snailville, Georgia, or so the legend goes. When John auditioned for the role of "Bo Duke" on the popular TV series The Dukes of Hazzard, the producers were looking for a 24-year-old from the South. At the time, John (born in 1960) was only 18 years old and hailed from Mt. Kisco, New York. John's ruse worked, however; and he got the role of the blond Duke cousin, a role that made him famous.

After The Dukes John launched a very successful country music career. He still sings in concerts, such as at the Memorial Day Concert at the Capitol in Washington, D.C. this year. John also was the co-founder of the Children's Miracle Network which holds telethons every year to help children's hospitals. He's also a strong supporter of family-oriented programming.

The Kents (Jonathan and Martha)

* The Kents will play a larger role with the series than in previous incarnations, especially since they are the only ones who are in on Clark's secret. As the show begins they are unsure whether or not to tell Clark the truth about where he came from.
