Alternative headline:
Washed up actor gets day job.
Yeah, it's literally true that he's a former Superman actor, but he's been a punchline for over 20 years, to the point where he's probably better known as a joke than an actor.
How so? I only know him from Lois & Clark and I loved that show.
That's kind of the point, that show ended 28 years ago. What have you seen him in since then? When he's been mentioned in the years since, it's generally either to make a joke about his career or just his general persona.
30 Rock in 2006: In this episode, Jenna Maroney goes on a sexual walkabout, engaging in a bunch of deviant sex acts. At ~3:45, we see the very end of her checklist:
Once the band has been Yoko'd, she scrolls down to the final entry. "Ugh, Dean Cain," she sighs, rolling her eyes.
Family Guy in 2007: Dean Cain is so desperate for attention that he's taken to wearing old Superman merch and sidling up to random strangers then saying "Hey, is that Dean Cain?" in a fake voice.
Lol, thanks 😄
“We know Superman is an immigrant – he’s a freaking alien … The ‘American way’ is immigrant friendly, tremendously immigrant friendly,” he added. “But there are rules … There have to be limits, because we can’t have everybody in the United States.”
uh, Dean, Superman is an undocumented immigrant. If he were real today ICE would be trying to send him back to Krypton.
Or maybe you’d give him a pass because he’s, you know… white.
You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.
Can't he just get a religious acting gig working with Kirk Cameron or something?
That’s actually all he does now. He was even 19th billed in God’s Not Dead 5. Practically a glorified extra lmao
He was 2nd billed on that film.
Ew.
What a fucking loser
This is like Elvis joining the DEA, but just so much fucking stupider
Gross
Never liked that idiotic twat.
Way to publicly announce you got no balls and suck trumps taint
Lol I remember him going on about superman is not a immigrant. Guess he didnt want to deport himself or see himself as the guy who would deport superman.
Is he faster than a speeding bullet?
Please go check with empirical testing and report back.
Poor Dean's just got a nut.
