Vandal managed to fill that role when he needed to though. He could be goofy and serious at the same time. His voice could also send chills down you or just make you slightly uncomfortable or he could just be an average deutch guy.

That is the thing i am telling you. He was that guy. He evolved as a person into what Perry White saw he could be. That is what we see in Superman media. Jimmy Olsen represents an average kid being affected by Superman being in the world. Now that he has grown up and we know of the many times Superman saved him and inspired him, we see him growing more from that from Kara as a person.
