Dean Cain, who famously portrayed Superman in the 90s series "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman," recently gave an interview where he fiercely criticized "woke culture" and the evolving image of Superman. He also openly discussed his support for former President Trump and revealed his own experiences with sexual harassment in early Hollywood, drawing significant attention. 
The 58-year-old Cain is one of the longest-serving actors to portray Superman in screen history, starring in 87 episodes of the series from 1993 to 1997 and becoming the iconic Clark Kent for countless viewers.
However, he admitted that today's Superman has changed significantly. "I remember a fan saying, 'We want Superman, not Sushi Man,'" he recalled with a wry smile, referencing the discrimination he faced as an actor of Japanese descent. Yet, he expressed his disapproval of the current overemphasis on identity politics. "He's a Kryptonian; he could even be green. Why does his heritage need to be emphasized?"
Cain also didn't hold back in his criticism of the upcoming "Superman" film's portrayal. "James Gunn made Martha and Jonathan Kent out to be stupid hicks, and Superman repeatedly needs saving? These are conscious choices," he stated bluntly. "This isn't the Superman I want."
Cain made no secret of his unapologetic political stance, having publicly supported Trump three times and even being invited to host a parade during Trump's presidential inauguration.
"I love Trump," he stated. "He's a truly empathetic, generous, and warm person. We've known each other for many years." Even though such a stance is a minority in Hollywood, he remains unfazed. "My dad used to advise me not to express my political views, but I didn't listen to him."
Even while at the center of a political storm, Cain continues to create, focusing on producing Christian-themed films, with sixteen to his name so far. He believes that rather than wasting influence on ideological battles, it's better to change society through culture. "If you make something like 'The Chosen,' you can make a positive impact on morals and values."
Notably, Cain also revealed for the first time that he experienced sexual harassment in Hollywood, an incident that he claims could have sparked "the biggest sexual harassment lawsuit in history." However, he chose not to name names or pursue legal action. "I had written the script for the fifth season and was ready to direct, but everything disappeared after that," he admitted.
Looking back at his acting career, Cain joked that while wearing a tight Superman suit and flying on wires was painful, it also made him a prime-time sex symbol. "If a man tells you he doesn't like being objectified, he's probably not a real man," he quipped.
Today, Cain has distanced himself from mainstream Hollywood, choosing to live in Nevada, where he continues to make films, raise his children, and speak out with greater freedom. "This is where I'm truly happy," he said. "Just like my dad sold his car so I could attend Princeton, family and values are what matter most to me."
