If you ask a random Gen Z who Dean Cain is they will almost certainly just say “the MAGA guy” if they know his name at all

He used to be an actor on TV, but for the past 20 years, he's mostly known for being a jerk.

Best known for his role as superman in Lois and Clark TV series all other roles have been subpar for him etc

He wasn’t even a good Superman. That will always be Christopher Reeves!!!

Cain was a campy version, and I liked the silliness of the show, though I admit I did not follow it faithfully. The TV style of production reminded me of the old Buster Crabbe serials.

He was actually good as Kal El/Clark Kent. Shame he turned out this way.

I liked him in that show also. I don't think I watched beyond the first year or so . . . seems like they had a hiatus or it was dropped for a while. Something interrupted it and I didn't get back. First time I remember seeing Terri Hatcher also. Wonderful camp fun.

The series sucked too. He overacted in every episode.

Yea! It did suck. He’s like the temu version of people who played Superman.

And he's Japanese, which makes his position even more pathetic, if that's possible.

Which is exactly why it's no surprise he's joining ice. They are basically play acting what they think tough guys are like.

Great! So now they're holding up a has been, overweight, out of shape little known actor as a role model to recruit uneducated, young, and probably trigger happy people who are down on their luck to be ICE agents. Yeah! This will not work well!

While I don't think he's doing it anymore, fellow Trumper Erik Estrada actually became a real police officer. Maybe Dean Cain will see if her really CAN fly next? www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general...

Cuz even though conservatives complain about Hollywood, they’re just jealous that nobody who has a swastika in their heart has any actual artistic talent. So they eagerly trot out their same dozen or so B-listers every chance they get. See, Scott Baio.

Distraction and desperation. If they dropped the age limit on recruiting, I'd bet its bc they're having a hard time bringing new people in

The result is in: she knew he was an actor but said "couldn't paint u a picture if my life depended on it tho" Only us old millennials and Gen x have the dubious honor of knowing who he is

Was the star of Clark and Lois superman TV series back in the days but now a MAGA man and ICE AGENT may have just killed his image perhaps ???

I’m a boomer and have no idea who he is 🤷♀️.

As a millennial, I did not know Dean Cain by name and had to look him up. Also had no idea Superman was played by a half Japanese guy. Shame on fascist half-Asians! From another half-Asian.

Nobody knows who Dean Cain is anymore, but a pitiful failed actor who couldn't get a job so he needed the work.

Considering that particular show ran from '93 to '97, it's understandable that they wouldn't know who he is.
