Last Week Tonight‘s John Oliver piled on Dean Cain during his telecast after the actor announced earlier this week he would be joining Ice.

“You know, there’s an old saying in Hollywood: ‘If all you can get is Dean Cain, you are f—ed,'” Oliver said during the program, which largely covered immigration enforcement and president Donald Trump’s mass deportation promise.

“Now, I’m not saying that Ice isn’t finding people,” he continued. “I’m just saying, when you are reduced to pinning a badge on the 59-year-old star of The Dog Who Saved Christmas, The Dog Who Saved Christmas Vacation, The Dog Who Saved the Holidays, The Dog Who Saved Halloween, The Dog Who Saved Easter and The Dog Who Saved Summer, maybe you are in trouble. Although, on the plus side, no need for that guy to wear a mask because the chances...

John Leguizamo condemned Dean Cain’s decision to align with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, posting an Instagram video Friday that called the former “Superman” actor a “loser” and a “moron,” and jabbing that Cain’s “pronouns are has/been.” The remarks spread quickly across entertainment media after the clip was shared, including by Deadline.

Cain announced this week that, after conversations with agency officials, he would “be sworn in as an Ice agent Asap,” and encouraged others to join. He framed the move as an act of public service and urged supporters to help meet hiring targets. The declaration landed amid a sweeping federal recruitment campaign that lifted age caps for applicants and advertised incentives such as signing bonuses up to $50,000 and student-loan relief.

A key detail emerged later: a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson said Cain will be sworn in as an honorary Ice officer, with specific duties not disclosed.

John Leguizamo is not mincing words in addressing Dean Cain’s recent decision to join Ice.

The Bob Trevino Likes It star, who has been a vocal critic of Ice’s increasingly militant behavior toward immigrants, took to his Instagram Friday to share his thoughts.

“What kind of loser volunteers to be an Ice officer?” Leguizamo said in a brief video. “What a moron. Dean Cain, your pronouns are has/been.”

Today, Leguizamo doubled down, posting an image of a doctored DVD case featuring Cain’s likeness and name with the title “Aged Ice” on his Instagram Story. The caption of the original post read: “More like ‘Dean needs a cane’ amiright?”

Cain’s announcement came earlier this week during an appearance on Fox News, where he described his decision as an act of patriotism and said he would join the agency “Asap” now that the previous age limit has been removed.

The move immediately drew attention, not only because of Cain being a celebrity, but because of the timing, coming amid a historic $20 billion funding increase for Ice (via the New...

During World War II, the United States launched a powerful military recruiting and war bonds campaign titled “Don’t Let That Shadow Touch Them.” Featuring haunting images of children overshadowed by a looming swastika, it warned Americans of the grave threat fascism posed to the nation’s safety and future. Today, the picture is disturbingly different. Maga is working to make fascism cool, joking about Ice’s brutal deportation tactics as washed-up celebrities like Dean Cain glorify the idea of snatching children and families off the streets of America.

It’s...

John Leguizamo is putting Dean Cain on blast.

Earlier this week Dean, 58, who is best known for playing Superman in the 90s television series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, announced that he was joining Ice to help carry out President Donald Trump‘s mass deportation agenda.

“This country was built on patriots stepping up, whether it was popular or not, and doing the right thing,” Dean said while appearing on Fox News’ Jesse Watters Primetime. “I truly believe this is the right thing.”

Then on Friday (August 8), John, 65, shared a video on Instagram where he ripped into Dean.

Bill Maher issued a blunt response to Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman star Dean Cain joining Ice. On the Friday, Aug. 8 episode of Real Time With Bill Maher, the late-night host, 69, didn’t hold back with his thoughts on the 59-year-old actor signing up to be part of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “Ice going around there with their masks, throwing people into vans—not popular. And yet, [Donald Trump is] doubling down on unpopular,” Maher said in his segue to the topic. “I mean, the Ice thing? They just need more people, so they’re having a big recruitment program. No age limit now, they announced this week. No matter how young you are, you can be 18, you can be old as dirt. If you like wearing a mask and throwing people in a van.” After noting there is a $50,000 signing bonus for those who sign up for Ice,...

Ready for a Hollywood clash more wild than any superhero battle? John Leguizamo, the irreverent trailblazer of screens and stages, is publicly skewering Dean Cain—the guy who was once TV’s Superman—for his headline-grabbing plan to join Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice). The back-and-forth isn’t just celebrity beef, it’s uncensored, opinionated, and absolutely viral.

John Leguizamo Doesn’t Hold Back—Why He’s Torch-ing Superman

Just days after Dean Cain said he’d be sworn in as an Ice agent “Asap,” John Leguizamo took to Instagram with zero chill and plenty of snark. “What kind of loser volunteers to be an Ice officer? What a moron. Dean Cain, your pronouns are Has/Been,” he declared, instantly setting social media ablaze. Leguizamo didn’t mince words, blowing up the idea that joining Ice is some heroic mission worthy of Superman’s legacy.

John Leguizamo is slamming Dean Cain after the actor said he’s going to become an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent.

“What kind of loser volunteers to be an Ice officer?” the Moulin Rouge! star said in a Friday Instagram video. “What a moron. Dean Cain, your pronouns are has/been.”

Cain previously starred as Clark Kent/Superman in the 1990s TV show Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. The actor revealed on Wednesday that he was planning to be “sworn in as an Ice agent, Asap” on Fox News’ Jesse Watters Primetime.

“I put out a recruitment video yesterday — I’m actually a sworn deputy sheriff and a reserve police officer — I wasn’t part of Ice, but once I put that out there and you put a little blurb on your show, it went crazy,” he said on the show. “So now I’ve spoken with some officials over at Ice,...

John Leguizamo had a few words for Dean Cain after the former Superman actor shared that he plans to be sworn in as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent.

“What kind of loser volunteers to be an Ice officer?” Leguizamo said in a front-facing camera video posted to his Instagram on Friday. “What a moron. Dean Cain, your pronouns are has/been.”

Off of Warner Bros. and DC Studios’ “Superman” opening at the box office in July, Cain has ridden on the coattails of his most memorable role’s renewed relevance and engaged in his biggest wave of press engagement in some years. Before the reboot’s release, Cain, who portrayed the Man of Steel in the ’90s television series “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman,” criticized its director James Gunn for calling the superhero an “immigrant” and alleged that Hollywood had made the character “woke.”

On Wednesday,...

Podcaster Van Lathan isn’t impressed by Superman actor Dean Cain joining Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice), and he let conservative commentator Scott Jennings know it on Thursday’s (August 7) CNN NewsNight. Cain, best known for portraying the Man of Steel in the 1990s series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, revealed on Tuesday (August 5) that he was being “sworn in” as a member of Ice, telling his followers, “I felt it was important to join with our first responders to help secure the safety of all Americans, not just talk about it.” Jennings discussed Cain’s announcement with the panel on CNN NewsNight on Thursday, saying, “There’s a massive amount of recruitment going on because they now have a huge amount of money to hire new Ice agents.” “Having someone like [Cain] out touting it, talking about, ‘Hey, this is a thing you can do for your government,...

Dean Cain, who became famous for playing Superman on the 1990s TV show Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, is about to join U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) as an honorary officer.

This information was shared by Tricia McLaughlin, the spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, who said Cain will be sworn in next month. However, it’s not yet clear what his duties will be in this honorary role.

Cain spoke about his decision during an interview on Fox News. He explained that he had already talked with officials at Ice and is ready to start his new role soon. Cain, now 59, also said he is a sworn deputy sheriff and a reserve police officer.

He told Fox News, “I put out a recruitment video yesterday – I’m actually a sworn deputy sheriff and a reserve police officer – I wasn’t part of Ice,...

Dean Cain, best known for playing Superman in the 1990s TV show Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, is about to become an honorary agent with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice).

This news came from Tricia McLaughlin, the spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, who said Cain will be sworn in as an “honorary Ice Officer” sometime next month. What exactly Cain’s role will involve as an honorary agent isn’t clear yet.

Cain recently talked about this in an interview with Fox News. He said he has already spoken to officials at Ice and is ready to start his new position quickly. Cain, who is 59 years old, also mentioned that he’s a sworn deputy sheriff and a reserve police officer.

No one invites controversy quite like Matt Stone and Trey Parker. The "South Park" creators have stirred up all kinds of trouble throughout the show's staggering 26 season run, but the pair really pushed the envelope just a few weeks ago with the arrival of their latest season. The long-awaited season 27 premiere not only lampooned their parent company Paramount in the wake of a $1.5 billion deal to keep "South Park" on the air for another five years, but it also took ruthless jabs at the Trump administration. "Sermon on the 'Mount" depicted President Donald J. Trump as a loudmouthed annoyance who speaks in the same ridiculous cadence Stone used for Saddam Hussein in "South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut." Animated using actual pictures of Trump (including his infamous mugshot), the show's depiction of the "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" actor constantly threatens to sue everybody who disagrees with him.

Actor, film producer, and singer Kelsey Grammer has had a lot of fans questioning one major thing about his political stance: Is he a Republican? Turns out, he is, considering how the 70-year-old star has been a longtime supporter of the right-wing US Republican Party.

Back in 2011, he endorsed the Tea Party movement on economic issues like small government and lower taxes while talking to Piers Morgan, saying (via CNN):

I’m sympathetic to some of the principles,” he said of the tea party. “I’m not sure they would say anything I object to. I’ve just been told they’re lunatics…I think smaller government is a good idea, always have. I think lower taxes is a good idea.

Not to mention, even City A.M. described the Frasier star as “one of Hollywood’s best-known Republicans, a rare spark of red in a blue sea of Democrats.

Former Superman actor Dean Cain announced his plan to join the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, popularly known as Ice. In his interview via BBC, he said: “I will be sworn in as an Ice agent asap.”

Fans will remember him from the 1993 Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman series, which ran for four seasons.

While he has shown support for Donald Trump’s Ice and its mission to implement deportation rules across the country, he’s not the first one in line. Other comic book movie actors previously endorsed Trump and his plans for America.

Sylvester Stallone Called Donald Trump the “Second George Washington”

Sylvester Stallone has become synonymous with action movies, but many fans aren’t aware that he has played several comic book roles. Of course, he didn’t portray the major ones, but he was lowkey a part of several projects over the years.

Dean Cain is giving his full support to President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.

In an interview on Fox News’ Jesse Watters Primetime Wednesday, the former Superman star announced he decided to join the agency after posting one of Ice’s recruitment videos on social media.

“I’m actually… a sworn deputy sheriff and a reserve police officer – I wasn’t part of Ice, but once I put that (the recruitment video) out there and you put a little blurb on your show, it went crazy,” Cain told Watters. “So now I’ve spoken with some officials over at Ice and I will be sworn in as an Ice agent Asap.”

When Watters asked him what motivated him to do so, Cain said “This country was built on patriots stepping up, whether it was popular or not, and doing the right thing. I truly believe this is the right thing.

Depending on what circles you travel in, Dean Cainhasn't been on your radar all that much, but the one-time Superman has certainly been making himself more known on the political side these days. He's an unapologetic supporter of President Donald Trump, going out of his way to declare that he's a good man and good for America, and now he's getting behind one of Trump's most controversial and dangerous causes.

The former Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman star took to his X and Instagram to say he would be joining Ice, and he encouraged his followers to do so as well. The actor said:

"Hey everybody, Dean Cain here. For those who don't know, I am a sworn law enforcement officer, as well as being a filmmaker, and I felt it was important to join with our first responders to help secure the safety of all Americans,...

Dean Cain, who played Superman on Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman from 1993 to 1997, has announced his latest career pivot: becoming an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) agent.

“I will be sworn in as an Ice agent A.S.A.P.,” he said during an appearance on Fox News’ Jesse Watters Primetime. Cain was sworn in as a reserve police officer in Idaho in 2018, then again as a reserve deputy sheriff in Virginia in 2022. “We have a broken immigration system. Congress needs to fix it, but in the interim, President Trump ran on this.

Dean Cain has drawn the ire of fans after revealing he’s enlisted as an officer for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice), with some calling the former Superman actor “willfully stupid.” The actor, best known for portraying the Man of Steel in the popular 1990s ABC series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, revealed the surprising news on his social media channels on Tuesday (August 5). “For those who don’t know, I am a sworn law enforcement officer, as well as being a filmmaker, and I felt it was important to join with our first responders to help secure the safety of all Americans, not just talk about it,” Cain said in a video. “So, I joined up.” He went on to encourage others to join Ice, touting the “great benefits” that come with the job. “So, if you want to help save America, Ice is...

Dean Cain played the Man of Steel in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, a 1990s TV series that, while not as beloved as Smallville, still had a devoted fanbase and served as an introduction to this character for many young fans at the time.

In recent years, Cain has become an increasingly outspoken figure, making him somewhat divisive. Now, though, he's shocked everyone by announcing that he's going to balance his acting career with a very different role: that of an Ice agent.

Appearing on Fox News' Jesse Watters Primetime yesterday evening, Cain revealed that he's signed up for Immigration and Customs Enforcement to help carry out President Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda.

"I put out a recruitment video yesterday—I’m actually a sworn deputy sheriff and a reserve police officer—I wasn’t part of Ice, but once I put that out there and...

Who’s your definitive Superman? Is it George Reeves in his strongman leotard? Maybe it’s Henry Cavill, playing the most Superman-looking Superman I’ve ever seen. Or perhaps it’s the wholesome farm boy Clark Kent, played by Tom Welling on Smallville. Whoever your favourite is, today we’re celebrating every major live-action take on the Man of Steel, across both big and small screens. We recently published an article on cinematic portrayals, but now we’ve decided to take a bigger swing. We’ve rounded up nine major portrayals, and we’re ranking them based not on the movies or shows they were in, but purely on the performance and depiction of Superman himself. That’s right—this is about the actors and how well they embodied the character.

This barely counts, and that’s why it’s at the bottom. Cage was...

In her 2023 memoir Love, Pamela, Pamela Anderson made a shocking revelation that her then-boyfriend Kid Rock lost it during the Borat premiere after realizing she was in the film and called her a wh*re. Well, the surprise didn’t land well. She wrote (via Variety),

I didn’t tell Bob I was in the movie, because I wanted to surprise him. I forgot about the part in the film that referenced the s*x tape. Bob stormed out, calling me a wh*re and worse.

Of course, the fallout was ugly and fast. He peeled away in his car, leaving her stranded, only to later destroy a framed photo at home, mistaking Marilyn Monroe for her. While their relationship was already on the verge of cohabitation imploding that night, Anderson has now made her Hollywood comeback in full swing with The Naked Gun reboot.

Pamela Anderson Makes a Comeback...

Dean Cain has given the entertainment industry his all, with roles in projects like ‘Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman’ and ‘Hit the Floor’. He was also in the news for his relationship with Pamela Anderson, but that didn’t last very long. Turns out, he wasn’t the “rock star” she was looking for.

The former couple began their romantic rendezvous in 1993 after Anderson shot to fame with ‘Baywatch‘. However, six months later, they decided that they were better off without each other.

In a recent interview with Variety, Cain opened up about the short-lived relationship and what went wrong. He stated, “That candle burned hot and short”, before adding, “She wanted to be with the rock-star kind of guy, and that’s not me.”

Despite the breakup, Cain has no ill feelings towards the actress, claiming that he has “only fond memories of her.”

Did Pamela Anderson Find Her Rockstar?...

Loads of Family Guy jokes haven’t aged well over the years. In fact, some might argue that certain jokes aged terribly before they ever made it to the air. But one brief gag about a certain ex-tv star continues to be more relevant than ever.

No, not the one about Bob Ross threatening to murder people.

As we’ve mentioned before, now that there’s a new Superman movie, a lot of news outlets have been speaking with ex-Man of Steel Dean Cain. The star of TV’s Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman recently told TMZ that the character had gone “woke,” complaining Superman no longer brags about enforcing the “American way” while also arguing that the 2025 Superman shouldn’t have used the familiar superhero story as an allegory for immigration.

Those dumb statements seemed especially dumb once people started sharing clips of Cain’s Superman on social media,...

Pamela Anderson is the embodiment of Hollywood’s ‘bombshell’ trope. Soon after she got cast in Baywatch, the actress became one of the biggest names in the industry, turning heads and becoming a household name. Despite this, all she seemed to be known for was her physical characteristics, being nothing more than a s*x object in the eyes of her viewers.

This was not happenstance, as Baywatch very intentionally objectified the actress to the point of no return. However, it wasn’t the only series to do so, since it almost became a trend to s*xualize Anderson. In fact, five other shows collectively created her allure and refused to allow the world to see her talent. They each had their individual role to play, and they are as follows.

Dean Cain, who starred as Superman in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, has alleged that he was sexually harassed while filming the popular television series in the Nineties. During a recent interview with Variety, the actor stated, “I could have had the biggest sexual harassment lawsuit in Hollywood history.”

Cain never pursued action against the person he claims harassed him, and declined to share further details about the allegation. The outlet noted that the harassment “took a toll” on his relationship with Gabrielle Reece, the volleyball player...

Known as one of the ‘Sex Symbols’ of the ’90s, actor Dean Cain remembers the time a fan made a racist comment towards him after he was announced to play Superman in Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. In an interview with Variety, he recalls this interaction, saying:

It was 1993 and I remember a fan going, ‘We wanted Superman, not Sushi Man‘

Being of half-Japanese descent, this comment was mean-spirited, but Cain paid it no mind back then. But now, with his political affiliation with President Donald Trump, many anti-Trump people have let their sentiments be known about how they are disappointed in him.

She wanted to be with the rock-star kind of guy, and that’s not me.

As Anderson stars in the reboot of The Naked Gun alongside Liam Neeson, Cain’s words have fans doing a double-take at their past connection.

Dean Cain may be a Trump supporter with conservative values, but he still says that he “loved” playing gay roles in the past.

The 58-year-old actor is best known for playing Superman in the 90s television series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.

Dean also starred in the movie The Broken Hearts Club, playing a gay role in Greg Berlanti‘s directorial debut.

“People don’t realize that in 1999 when we were making it, straight actors did not want to play gay, and they were all advised not to, especially if they were a heartthrob. It was daring,” Greg told Variety in a new interview.

Dean added, “I played gay in two films, and I loved it.”

The actor also opened up about what people thought about him taking on the gay roles.

Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman star Dean Cain has become a divisive figure in recent years, and when the Maga contingent came for Superman following James Gunn's immigrant comments, he was first in line to tear into the "woke" reboot.

Talking to Variety, the actor was a little more level-headed and admitted that, "Seeing Krypto in the trailer gave me goose bumps. He saves a squirrel. He saves a little girl. I respect that."

It's unclear whether the actor has actually sat down to watch Superman, though he doesn't sound overly enthused by some of the creative decisions made in Gunn's first DC Studios movie.

"James Gunn and his decision to make Ma and Pa Kent the stupid rednecks. That’s a choice," Cain pondered. "And Superman has to be saved, like, repeatedly? On a movie this size, every decision is a choice made carefully.

Dean Cain is about to pull off a lightning-fast costume change that would impress even Superman. Standing in front of an infinity pool overlooking a golf course and the Las Vegas Strip in the distance, the actor is wearing a faded gray T-shirt, gym shorts and no shoes. A Greek Orthodox cross and a military dog tag hang from a chain around his neck. The man who played the Man of Steel and his alter ego, Clark Kent, on the trailblazing series “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman” needs to morph into something camera ready.

“I’m gonna have to go put on a jacket and a shirt and leave my shorts behind,” he says as he pops a tangerine-flavored nicotine lozenge in his mouth and heads upstairs for a Zoom appearance on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” to discuss the latest “Superman,” two days before it unspools in theaters.

Following comments that Superman is an immigrant and “the story of America,” director James Gunn has come under fire from a certain section of the political divide, many of whom have accused the Man of Steel, a character defined by his kindness and desire to do good, as too “woke.” Now, Gunn himself has responded to this “accusation,” with the filmmaker left a little confused about this predominantly right-wing interpretation.

Speaking with EW recently, Gunn reveals that he has “heard people say it was woke,” but has heard just as many saying “it's not.” The word “woke” has now been contorted into something so far from its original meaning that it’s largely meaningless at this point, but certain commentators continue to use it to criticize whatever they don’t like at the time. For Gunn, though, Superman rises above all this to be a story about kindness. No doubt,...

James Gunn recently spoke with Entertainment Weekly about the surprising backlash his movie “Superman” faced before it even hit theaters. Some conservative outlets, including Fox News, called the film “SuperWoke” after Gunn described Superman as an “immigrant” and said the character’s story is really “the story of America.” Gunn said he’s still a bit puzzled by the criticism.

He explained, “I’ve heard people say it was woke, and then I’ve heard a lot of people say it’s not. I am curious as to what in the movie is considered woke.”

Gunn shared that his comments were based on what the Times of London reporter told him, that Superman’s creators, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, were sons of immigrants and made the character as an immigrant story.

Gunn added, “And I said, yeah, it’s a story about an immigrant, but mostly it’s a story to me about kindness,...

Superman is flying high at the domestic box office, where’s it’s up to $235 million after two weekends. Internationally, however, the movie is behind at $171 million, something writer/director James Gunn has chalked up to a combination of factors — including “anti-American sentiment.”

Speaking with Rolling Stone, Gunn pointed to the fact that despite his popularity, Superman still “is not a big known superhero in some places like Batman is.” However, he continued that “it also also affects things that we have a certain amount of anti-American sentiment around the world right now. It isn’t really helping us.”

Still, Superman’s global box office is growing, and is performing particularly well in places like Brazil and the UK. “So I think it’s just a matter of letting something grow. But again, for us, everything’s been a total win,” Gunn said Having the movie come out and be...

James Gunn said in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that he remains somewhat confused over the conservative backlash that erupted before the release of “Superman.” Fox News and other right-wing outlets branded the movie “SuperWoke” after Gunn went viral for telling the Times of London that Superman is an “immigrant” and “the story of America.”

“I’ve heard people say it was woke, and then I’ve heard a lot of people say it’s not. I am curious as to what in the movie is considered woke,” Gunn told EW amid “Superman’s” box office success. “I think people took something I said…The guy for the London newspaper. Originally, he said that [Superman comic creators] Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster were the sons of immigrants, and they wrote Superman as an immigrant story. And I said, yeah, it’s a story about an immigrant, but mostly it’s...

Before Dean Cain became synonymous with the '90s-era Superman, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Supermannearly went in a wildly different direction — and Cain himself has now confirmed the runner-up. Speaking at FanX Atlanta during a panel hosted by Collider’s Maggie Lovitt, Cain revealed just how close another 1990s TV icon came to suiting up as the Man of Steel: Kevin Sorbo, best known for playing Hercules: The Legendary Journeys.

“I was one of the first people that met, in fact I think I was the first person they met with. I said to them I think I have a good take on this."

In a twist that feels like a real-life Elseworlds tale, Cain detailed just how close Sorbo came to taking flight in Lois & Clark, the beloved ABC series that ran from 1993 to 1997.

“I was cast on a Thursday, and by the way, the last...

James Gunn stepped into some hot water with fans when he chose to recast Superman for his new DC Studios relaunch. While Henry Cavill’s performance as the Man of Steel was widely appreciated—despite the films themselves being divisive—Gunn’s decision to move in a new direction raised eyebrows. That said, his choice of David Corenswet to don the cape has largely paid off. Corenswet has earned praise from both fans and critics, potentially setting the stage for a long run in the new Dcu.

But where does Corenswet rank among the big-screen Supermen? Our own Tyler Nichols placed him as runner-up to the perennial favorite, Christopher Reeve. Now, it’s time to turn the question over to you, the readers.

For the sake of completeness, we’ve included small-screen Superman actors in the poll—though we’ve left out Superboy portrayals like Tom Welling’s, as technically...

Superman is back! Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster’s 1938 comic book creation has been in the headlines a lot again lately, and not just because James Gunn’s Superman (2025), starring David Corenswet, is dominating the box office worldwide. The hype around the DC superhero’s return has stirred up nostalgia, admiration, and even a little controversy. Corenswet has called Smallville‘s Tom Welling his favorite Superman and also praised Christopher Reeve’s iconic performance in the original films when speaking with his son, Will Reeve (who also appeared in the new film). The actor also revealed he received special letters/notes from Man of Steel‘s Henry Cavill and Superman & Lois‘ Tyler Hoechlin as he stepped into the role. Meanwhile, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman‘s Dean Cain has been making headlines of his own, though mostly for his political takes on the character. Now, another Superman actor has weighed in,...

Dean Cain stood for truth, justice, and the American way as Superman on TV, but he’s now at the center of a very different conversation. After TMZ published comments in which Cain criticized the so-called “woke-ification” of the Man of Steel, headlines spread like wildfire — with many assuming he was attacking James Gunn’sSuperman reboot outright. Now, Cain is setting the record straight.

Speaking at FanX during a panel hosted by Collider’s Maggie Lovitt, Cain clarified the comments by first saying, "I just continually speak what I think is the truth." He proceeded to explain what he really meant when asked about Gunn’s film in recent interviews:

"They were asking me a question about the new movie. I said I haven't seen it. They were asking the question 'How woke will this be or will it be woke?' So they took that quote, stuck it in...

Dean Cain’s showbiz career hasn’t leapt over tall buildings in a single bound since the end of Lois & Clark, the Superman TV show that made him a star. These days, you’re more likely to find him on Fox News or TMZ, sounding off on cultural and political issues. With the recent Superman movie in the news, Cain thrust himself back into the limelight, criticizing director James Gunn for saying that his Superman was an immigrant story.

An immigrant? Not on Cain’s watch. “How woke is Hollywood going to make this character?” Cain wondered aloud to TMZ. While America has traditionally welcomed immigrants, “there have to be limits, because we can’t have everybody in the United States. We can’t have everybody, society will fail.”

“I think that was a mistake by James Gunn to say it’s an immigrant thing, and I think it...

Debbie Nightingale, a co-founder of the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival, which eventually became the largest documentary event in North America, died July 10 after a bout with cancer. She was 71.

“Every part of the Hot Docs we know today grew from what Debbie helped establish,” execs at the Toronto-based festival said in a statement. “She recognized the importance of documentary filmmaking and providing a place where filmmakers, funders and audiences could connect. Without her, we wouldn’t be here. Her legacy will be forever felt, and she will be truly missed.”

Nightingale and veteran documentary maker Paul Jay in 1993 launched a documentary showcase that would eventually become Hot Docs. She helped raise the initial $100,000 to get the festival off the ground and served as its first festival manager and later as executive director.

Born in Toronto on Oct. 14, 1953, Nightingale had been producing the Trade Forum at the Festival of Festivals,...

The new “Superman” movie has only been out for a few days, but it’s already causing a lot of online arguments. The film is doing great at the box office, but people are divided about what the story really means.

Some say it’s about the Israel-Palestine conflict, while others think that’s not true. James Gunn, the director, insists the movie isn’t about the Middle East, but the debate just keeps growing.

Even before the movie came out, it faced criticism from right-wing groups, including the Maga movement. This started after Gunn called Superman an immigrant. This upset some conservatives, and Fox News even called the movie “SuperWoke.”

Now that the movie is in theaters, a new controversy has taken center stage. The story is about two made-up countries called Boravia and Jarhanpur. Boravia says it wants to “free” the people of Jarhanpur, but there’s no real proof of that.

The new “Superman” movie has been out for just a few days, and while it’s breaking box office records, it’s also stirring up some big online arguments. Some people think the film is making a statement about the real-life Israel-Palestine conflict, while others say that’s nonsense. James Gunn, who directed the movie, says it’s not about the Middle East at all, but the debate keeps growing.

Before the movie was even released, Gunn and the film were already getting attacked by right-wing groups, including the Maga movement. This all started when Gunn said Superman is an immigrant. Because he literally is. He’s an alien from another planet. That comment caused some backlash from conservatives, with Fox News calling the movie “SuperWoke.”

Now that the film is in theaters, a whole new controversy has taken over. In the movie, there’s a story about two made-up countries,...

James Gunn’s “Superman” has ignited an online debate over whether or not its storyline is intentionally reflecting the Israel-Palestine conflict. In the movie, Nicholas Hoult’s villainous Lex Luthor has started a foreign war between two fictional countries. Superman is thrust into the global conflict when he stops Bovaria, the aggressor nation, from attacking its neighbor, Jarhanpur.

Ever since “Superman” opened in theaters (it earned $220 million globally in its debut), online political commentators have been either connecting the movie’s Bovaria-Jarhanpur conflict to the real-life Israel-Palestine conflict or refuting that’s the film’s intention. Hasan Piker, the left-wing political commenter who has a massive following as a Twitch streamer, posted a viral YouTube video explaining how “Superman” exposed Israel. Piker described the movie as “two hours and like 10 minutes of fuck Israel the entire time” and claimed anyone involved with the film would be “lying” if they told...
