The actors who have played Superman in film, television, and stage - 1970 - 1990s.

David Wilson starred in a televised version of the Superman musical on ABC (1975).

Christopher Reeve appeared as Superman in four films (1978-1987).

John Haymes Newton starred for one season of in the syndicated series "Superboy" (1988).

Gerard Christopher replaced Newton as Superboy and continued for 3 more seasons. (1989-1991)

Ron Ely portrayed a senior version of Superman in a two part episode of the syndicated series (1991).

Dean Cain appeared in "Lois & Clark”(1983-1997) - Cain’s birth name is Tanaka (his paternal grandfather was Japanese). This ironically making him the only actor to play Superman who actually comes from an immigrant family.
