My Secret Identity: Difference between revisions

''[[My Secret Identity]]'' was a Canadian live-action TV show that ran from 1988 to 1990. It starred [[Jerry O'Connell]] (who would become better known for starring in ''[[Sliders]]'') as a teenager named Andrew Clements who accidentally gains superpowers and secretly uses them to help people. Contrary to the series title, though, Andrew never actually uses a secret identity - although he likes to pretend he's a superhero named UltramanMUltraman<ref>Not [[Ultraman|that one]].</ref>, he never wears a costume (except in a daydream sequence) and never uses his powers in public. The only other person who knew his secret was Dr. Benjamin Jeffcoat (played by Derek McGrath), Andrew's neighbor who accidentally gave the boy his powers while he was fiddling around with a homemade particle beam projector. Jeffcoat felt responsible for what happened and tried to restore Andrew to normal, despite the boy clearly loving having superpowers. Instead he mostly kept Andrew grounded on reality.
