      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.

          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:

          • In an airplane wheel well
          • Pull a general Tso’s Revenge
          • Run a train with the cast of “Training Day” on a train
          • Soon-Yi a marriage
          • Supreme court Justice,Liberal
          • Yoko a band
          • Dean Cain

          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.

    “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.
