Friends, family, and fellow Hollywood Boulevard costumed characters said goodbye to Christopher Dennis Saturday during his funeral in Los Angeles at Old North Church Forest Lawn.
The actor — known as “Hollywood Superman” for donning a Man of Steel costume over more than two decades and entertaining fans along the Walk of Fame — was remembered as a “superhero” who can now “fly much higher.”

Rodriguez first met Dennis when the struggling actor was performing at Hollywood’s Christ the King Catholic Church fundraiser organized by Catholic Laughs stand-up comedy night to assist the homeless.
Also attending the service were Dennis’ father, William Ross Dennis of Corning,...
