Dean Cain played Superman for three seasons so he is an expert

What about him? He's a biracial Clark Kent so he's hardly one to talk.

Pie flat face.

Wow, Hometown Buffet must love it when he visits!

Fattest Superman ever.

This is one Superman too fat to fly!

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's....holy shit it's a fat ass.

superman isn't fat either

Wow, he got so fat, he could never pass a Dean Cain Lookalike Contest.

Who cares of Superman being bi is brave???? It's just a part of his character.

Hilariously, the right is so triggered by this now. Cain says if it were to happen 20 years ago, it would have been brave. Imagine how triggered the right would have been in 2011.

Dean Cain IS Buddy Hackett.

Do they still have Marlon Brando's girdle and fat costume from the first Superman movie? I think Dean MIGHT be able to fit into it.

Seems not to have aged well.

He's not wrong....

R1 That's what annoys me about him. Lot of people could say "Superman shouldn't be 3/8th Japanese".

[quote] Pie flat face

Dropped pie-faced loser.

Dean Cain (né Tanaka)

[quote]Cain went on to tell Fox & Friends

All we needed to know.

Daddy

Looks like Donny Osmond took a dump on Dean's face.

I checked her IMDb and she is working....who knew??

That isn't Dean Cain. That's somebody who ATE Dean Cain.

Yes, he WOULD like to supersize that!

Have there been any other non-white actors who have played Superman?

Has Scott Baio weighed in (Cain...no pun intended)?

He’s a cunt but he’s right about this.

R25, no, he isn't. The fact that he and other conservatives are getting so worked up about this proves it is brave

At least they can sit on a bandwagon without breaking it, Dean!

He’s right. And he dared to play gay right after his Superman gigs, so, politics aside, I’m giving him this one.

R28, your tongue is so far up Dean's ass that you could lick his wisdom teeth.

Have you actually read his statement? Fake headline. He actually said there should be more unique gay characters. And he has a point about telling stories about oppressed gays around the world. Also didn't Dean play a gay character in a movie? I doubt he's homophobic.

R14/R16 Dean would have made a better Power Ranger anyway

R28 is a moron. He says it's not a big deal but contradicts himself by getting all worked up over it.

Fatty says what?

If Hollywood decides to do a fleshed out documentary about Jim Jones, Dean is a perfect fit.

Is that booze bloat or just a love of food happening?

The Penguin called Mr. Cain.

He wants his look back.

Apparently we've made such progress with LGBT rights that we are now attacking allies for making statements that are more nuanced. There's absolutely nothing wrong with what he said. Why do we have to coopt a legacy character that is already associated with hyper masculinity when there are many more opportunities to create unique and more interesting gay characters that could easily be embraced by a new generation? I don't have a problem with making Superman, or a fake version, gay in theory but it's almost as if the creators are deliberately trolling audiences who already have a built in expectation for what the character represents.

But this Woke offensive and mindless trollery are doing nothing for our cause and just causing people to self censor. It reminds me of when I was given the task of writing an opinion column. My job became more difficult not because instead of simply communicating what I thought, I had to work backwards from what was approved. I didn't do it too long but at some point even I became confused about how I felt because I was so used to bullshitting for so long. Let people have honest conversations regarding race and sexuality even if the powers that be disapprove.

That aside, Dean Cain is an out and proud Republican and Trump supporter who went on the fraud and lie-filled Fox News and Friends, you idiot, so you're just basically flapping your lips in the air.

Dean fuckin Cain! Like who gives a shit what that fat fuck thinks.

This is supposed to be a thread about Dean Cain so why did someone post a photo of k.d. lang?

Fat! VERY fat!

R36 Supes can be gay, lesbian, bi or trans due to a little thing called red kryptonite.

Last time I checked the effects lasted for 24 hours so it's not being "woke" if he has a storyline that changes his sexual orientation or gender.

He's been a human sized ant-Superman (among other things) with just this one plot device.

Magic (besides red suns & various forms of kryptonite) can also make changes to Supes as Mr. Mxyzptlk, Lord Satanis & his wife Syrene (who I believe used their magical abilities back in the early 80s to split him into 2 separate Supermen which cut all of his powers in half) have proven over his 80+ year history.

Fans are aware that Supes will undergo changes to his usual nature from time to time as his notable Red Superman/Blue Superman phase has proven his history. Besides most who are upset by this probably haven't read a Supes comic in ages.

He's right, but all the uber-Politically Correct Gays who always make sure they are seen supporting, saying, doing, looking and having everything absolutely the way it should be, will never admit or agree with that, i.e. he has balls to stand up to have and express an opinion.

He's no doubt packed on the pounds to help him in the aging face department. If he lost the 25-30 he should, he'd look 10+ years older.

R42 Balls perhaps...

It wouldn't be a big deal if they weren't making a big deal out of it.

He's a Trump supporting right-wing idiot. who cares what he thinks? he's not worked in decades because he's untalented.

He looks like a Frau who has overdosed on Fillers and is prepared to begin a career as Karen.

Making Superman bisexual is corny and trolling. I prefer to let the homophobes show themselves; I dislike when it seems like people go looking for them.

Dean Cain is white. Yeah he’s biracial but he is white passing and he’s used it to his advantage to align himself with it his whole life. I don’t think he knows shit about being mixed aside from being good at hiding it.

Like you wouldn't lick his ass if he asked you to.

I bet his ass smells so good.

r36 Did you even read it? It is Jon Kent, Superman and Lois's son who takes up the mantle of Superman. They did not make Clark Kent/Superman gay - His grown son is.

the fact that he occassionally guests host on fox and friends, like he is a expert on ANYTHING of importance tells any and all, everything you need to know about his oversize ego! imagine going on a national network morning news program and guest hosting and acting like you are any kind of expert on politics, the economy, national and world affairs, etc, that the entire nation needs to hear your opinion as truth and fact!.

He dated Brooke Shields. Isn’t that punishment enough?

Have there been any other non-white actors who have played Superman?

He looks like William Shatner. But, Shatner is hot for 90.

R53 That goes both ways. What makes him any less qualified than someone like Whoopi Goldberg or Steven Weber of all people? People fondly remember his stint as Superman with good reason. The show may not have aged in well in all respects but it was decent enough entertainment at the time. People like him because he seems down to earth, personable, and not like a typical celebrity. And his persona doesn't revolve around him being a celebrity anyway. He still acts.

Dean, STFU.

[quote]It is Jon Kent, Superman and Lois's son who takes up the mantle of Superman. They did not make Clark Kent/Superman gay - His grown son is.

I don't think any of the people complaining realize this.

The morons complaining about the copying if a character are too stupid to actually read the whole story. It's not Clark Kent. Fucking morons.

R36 Dean Cain is not an ally. Get a fucking grip.

The guy is a right-winger. Tells people to vote and support the Republican Party.

Total opposite of an ally.

R57.... difference! the view is just talk and gabbing, everyone knows this... fox and friends is on a allegedly ALL news channel and supposedly all news and serious...

context and nuance matters!...

Do people, including this fat fuck Dean, know that Superman has had gay/bi storylines for decades?

Superman has flirted with men in the comics (after being exposed to pink kryptonite).

He's also not human. So why would the typical human sexuality apply to him?

Wisdom from a pig?

R48, getting upset about a fictional character is corny and trolling. You and Dean and the GOP need to get a life

R61 Agreed. Dean Cain is not an ally! She is some kind of Sculptra addict and Right Wing Trump der Fuhrer.

Donald & Clark

Dean Cain is a Trump cult follower so he can't be too smart.

Dean Cain is FAT

Holy fuck, he’s fat. Is he part Korean or Filipino, by any chance?

[quote] Is he part Korean or Filipino, by any chance?

Part Samoan by the looks of it.

No matter what Cain is otherwise, he's right about this.

Does this mean that Superman was gay? Cause familial/genetic link and all.

Older brother, right handed trope. Or is it left handed?

Don’t there need to be two older brothers?

R73, with each additional brother the likelihood increases about 15%. This is gay and bi-sexual men. Older sisters had no such effect on men.

See they never pay attention to us.

[quote] It's a bird, it's a plane, it's....holy shit it's a fat ass.

Dean has always had a fat ass. Sadly, the rest of him got fat too.

His biological father was Japanese. He was raised by his mother and step-father.

He’s part Japanese.

He's no Richard Grieco.

What part about SUPERMAN IS NOT HUMAN do you guys not understand R72 R73 R74?

He’s not really being anti-gay, but at the same time no one said making Jon Kent bisexual is “brave”. It’s just part of his being. And no one said this new Superman won’t fight for the rights of gays in Iran - how does he know he won’t?

R80 He's being anti-gay but making it less obvious by using straw man arguments.

"This is not brave now!" and "What about Iran?" are the straw man arguments. No one brought them up, except him.

Why does he care?

Maybe so, R80, but he might also be thinking of the fact that he played gay in a couple movies 20+ years ago, which was actually kind of a brave thing for an actor to do at the time. If it's soooo not newsworthy, though, why even bother bringing it up. Yeah, I know the answer to that - Fox and their dog whistles - but I give Dean a slight benefit of the doubt because of the past roles he's played.

The character is Jon Kent. Not even the original Superman (Clark Kent), which Dean Cain played.

Jon Kent is Clark Kent & Lois Lane's son. In the comics, he's 17...a Gen Z Superman.

So why is Dean Cain upset about this?

Why did this fuckface ever do "The Broken Heart's Club"? Was he in need of the work/money?

The new Superman’s a pussy.

[quote]He dated Brooke Shields. Isn’t that punishment enough?

Punishment for Brooke...

R83 "but he might also be thinking of the fact that he played gay in a couple movies 20+ years ago, which was actually kind of a brave thing for an actor to do at the time"

Couple of movies? I recall only THE BROKEN HEARTS CLUB. His bravery was shared by Timothy Olyphant, Zach Braff, Andrew Keegan, Justin Theroux and Michael Bergin among others. I think Billy Porter and Jennifer Coolidge - who co-starred in the film too - did a little bit more for actors "at the time".

Which are the other films where Dean Cain played gay?

He also played gay in a movie called SAFE MEN.

I can see why some thought/think it was brave of him to take a couple gay roles. Another interpretation could be that he was trying to get some attention on exactly that basis, since he wasn't exactly turning down major film and TV roles at the time (or, God knows, since).

R90 Thanks for the info and I agree about his motivation to play gay roles at the time. At that time Hugh Grant had no problems to find roles in the US after he did MAURICE in 1987. Dean Cain is just a very limited actor. In one of his most recent films OBAMAGATE : THE MOVIE (2020) he starred with a bald John James (original DYNASTY's Jeff Colby as Comey) and Kristy Swanson (another repugnant cunt) ...

I think it was brave for Michael Ontkean, Harry Hamlin and Kate Jackson to star in MAKING LOVE in 1982. But twenty years later? No.

BROKEN HEARTS CLUB was filmed years after Matthew Broderick, River & Keanu, Patrick Stewart, Robin Williams, Kevin Kline and others were in TORCH SONG TRILOGY (1988), MY OWN PRIVATE IDAHO (1991), JEFFREY (1995), THE BIRDCAGE (1996) or IN & OUT (1997) - to name just a few US independent or studio films with gay lead characters.

.,.,

Oh please, there's nothing to defend when it comes to this fool, and it's incredibly transparent who is coming to his defense here. Even if there is a point to having original characters being gay or bi, he's not saying that out of the kindness of his heart. He's throwing a fit because it plays right into the hands of the devolved, whiny excuses for "real" men his right-wing, trump-loving ass panders to these days because the world is changing in a way they can't understand, and exposes how weak and fragile most of these little boys really are. His complaining plays right into that trope - don't take away what they feel is 'theirs', that they have always 'owned' ...not because he actually really gives a damn about original gay/bi characters. And he's comes off even more a fool because this isn't even Clark Kent, but supposedly the son... a new, Gen Z character. So what's the fucking issue...

(Oh, and for those saying, "well, he still works", uh, have you seen the shit he makes lately? Other than "Hit the Floor", which was a somewhat decent show, there is NOTHING to write home about when it comes to his body of work.)

Dean is on the board of the National Rifle Association. PUKE

Sadly, he never did any nudity in any of his movies. I'd sure love to see that ass!

In 2000, Dean was known as a TV actor, having done primarily made-for-TV movies after Lois and Clark ended. He was trying to get into big screen movies and campaigned hard to get the role in Broken Hearts Club. The studio was reluctant to cast him because he was a TV actor. When they did cast Dean, the movie got lots of free publicity thanks to the casting.

Why not make Superman bi?

Since every super hero seems to have his/her sexuality on display (all the straight ones have girlfriend or boyfriends), doesn't it make sense that a gay or a bi one has a partner?

Jesus people - for the last time. This is about a different character. The son of Clark Kent (the original Superman) and Lois Lane - He is Jon Kent, taking over the role of Superman. They could not even commit to gay they had to make him Bi. They did not make Superman gay, his son is exploring his sexuality in a future where it is not so fucking taboo that it would make Fox and Friends.

R55 no, not yet.

R63 nice try.

Superman is not gay he just dates on Krypton like me.

He’s fluid…

Boy of Steel, boyfriend of Kleenex.

Brooke Shields lost her V-chip to him??

R102, didn't Shields claim she was still a virgin even though she dated him and all reports from Princeton said otherwise?

If the woke have their way, they will turn all superhero media into gay porn.

DL would have melted down if Superman was trans, but bi is okay?

Who is his male love interest?

R102 I thought Atkins popped her cherry during Blue Lagoon - when he wasn't busy getting fucked by the director.

R104 which would be terrible....

Dean Cain had FAT FACE.

Burn it with fire!!!

He's an expert on carbs.

Timothy Olyphant and Andrew Keegan were both so hot in Broken Hearts Club. Timothy is still an in-demand actor and his looks gets better with age. Andrew leads this spiritual community in LA but he still looks great. Both aren't as pathetic as Dean Cain who seems to be this bitter, hateful person now.

[Quote] Andrew leads this spiritual community in LA but he still looks great.

Don't you mean cult?

LOL Andrew's "cult" is just a bunch of aged potheads doing yoga and prayer circles in public areas. A real cult would be super secretive, isolate its members from society and use cryptic messages and ads to recruit people like The Children of God, Scientology or that sex trafficking cult that Allison Mack was in. Andrew doesn't seem smart enough to lead a real cult.
