Ranker Spotlight: Tyler Hoechlin

Tyler Hoechlin’s star is rising faster than ever these days. Having played Superman in Arrowverse shows like Supergirl and The Flash, Hoechlin got a leading role in his own show in 2021. Superman & Lois is massively popular on Ranker — nearly 90% of all votes cast for the CW series indicate positive sentiment, and it ranks #1 on both The Best Television Dramas In 2022 and The Best New Drama Shows Of 2021. Now, Hoechlin is set to reprise his role on the hit MTV series Teen Wolf in a new movie based on the series that will premiere January 26 on Paramount+.

This string of success has been a long time in the making for Hoechlin, whose breakout role was in the Oscar-nominated film Road to Perdition in 2003. Starting with a recurring role in Seventh Heaven, Hoechlin’s TV career has been on a steady upward trajectory. Will he continue to take on bigger and bigger roles, or is this as high as the CW’s Man of Steel will fly? We’re doing a deep dive into this Hollywood hearthrob’s fan base on Ranker to get a sense of just how strong demand for Hoechlin is in 2023. 

How Hoechlin Ranks on Ranker

Hoechlin’s rankings are impressive: as the holder of the #1 spot on The Best Actors In Live-Action Comic Book TV Shows (13K votes), the actor had to beat out Wonder Woman’s Linda Carter and Jensen Ackles, who qualifies with his recurring role on both Smallville and The Boys. He’s #2 on a list titled Who Is The Most Charming Man Alive? (29K votes) — that’s a pretty impressive silver medal, especially when the gold belongs to Chris Hemsworth. He’s also #4 on The Hottest Male Celebrities & Actors Of 2023 (2K votes), a very strong indication that this year is going to be a good one for the actor and his fans. 

Hoechlin has some lower rankings on lists that are so comprehensive and competitive that they might be more admirable than the ones we’ve listed so far. He’s in the Top 50 on our list of The Best Actors & Actresses In Entertainment History (1.8 million votes), securing a #34 spot ahead of Samuel L. Jackson, Jimmy Stewart, and Hugh Jackman. He’s also #63 on The Hottest Male Celebrities Of All Time (3.4 million votes), beating out another TV actor having a big moment in 2023, Pedro Pascal. 

We had to go back and edit this article several times before publishing because Hoechlin’s rankings on these lists kept getting higher — you’ll likely find he’s risen even further by the time you’re reading this. If there’s ever been a good time to start thinking of projects in which to cast Tyler Hoechlin, it’s right now. 

What Do Tyler Hoechlin’s Fans Love?

Hundreds of thousands of votes have been cast for Hoechlin on some of Ranker’s most popular celebrity lists. What and who else do those fans vote for? Ranker Insights can tell us more about the likes and dislikes of those who love the Superman & Lois actor, and therefore, the people most likely to check out its sequel.

Other Actors

Black Panther star Michael B. Jordan is 2X more likely to also be beloved by Tyler Hoechlin fans, as readers who voted up Hoechlin on The Greatest Male Celebrity Role Models (where Hoechlin ranks #13) are particularly likely to also upvote Jordan. Hoechlin’s supporters are also 2X more likely to love The Boys stars Anthony Starr, Chace Crawford, and Karl Urban. Combined with the fact that fans are also 3X more likely to be like The Boys, Amazon Prime would be well-advised to consider a cameo or recurring role for Hoechlin in the superhero show’s upcoming fourth season. 

TV

Beyond Superman & Lois, which fans are unsurprisingly 4X more likely to love, and The Boys, Hoechlin-lovers are also more likely to love For All Mankind, Apple TV+’s alternative history of the space race. There seems to be a considerable portion of Apple subscribers within Hoechlin’s fanbase, as fans are both 2X more likely to love For All Mankind and Ted Lasso (Apple is another streamer that should probably reach out to the actor). Interestingly, it seems that Hoechlin’s current pool of supporters is more drawn by Superman & Lois than by Teen Wolf, the latter of which is less than 2X more likely to be beloved by Hoechlin fans. 

Music

Interestingly, Korean pop music or “K-Pop” is big among Tyler Hoechlin’s devotees. The two bands that fans of the Dawson’s Creek actor are most likely to love are WJSN and AOA, two huge girl groups from South Korea. Our takeaway here is that, like K-Pop, Tyler Hoechlin is extremely trendy, especially with young people.
