31	!!Tropes associated with Carl Lumbly:
32	* CastingGag: After he played the Martian Manhunter in ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', other [=DC=] adaptations tapped him to play both J'onn's father and brother-in-law. That the former was in live-action and the latter in animation is a testament to his all-around skill as an actor.
33	* RecastAsARegular: He voiced a couple of characters on ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries'' (the mayor of Metropolis in [[Recap/SupermanTheAnimatedSeriesS2E4SpeedDemons "Speed Demons"]] and Mala's lover Alterus in [[Recap/SupermanTheAnimatedSeriesS3E6AbsolutePower "Absolute Power"]]) and Stalker on ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' before voicing the ComicBook/MartianManhunter on ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague''.
