actress Annette O'Toole is married to McKean in real life), who returns from Washington to visit her son Clark. In the series finale, it is shown that Perry White became the editor-in-chief of the Daily Planet. Michael McKean provided the voice of Perry White in the final scene of the final episode but the actor himself was not seen on screen, although the famous "Great Caesar's ghost" ranting was heard as he was scolding Lois Lane to get back to work.
