He also had a cameo as the bartender in Superman Returns.
Better gig than the cameo the actress who played Lois Lane got: the rich old lady who was seduced and married by Lex Luthor.

She was also Lois Lane's sister, Lucy. Lucy had a generally more pleasant personality than Lois.

My Dad used to get so disgusted when I would watch Superman on our black & white Admiral TV when I was a little girl in the early 50's. I will always remember the word he used to describe Clark Kent AND Jimmy Olsen that followed G.D. (lol). Although at the time I didn't know the literal meaning, I somehow "knew" it was another far more descriptive word for "queers" that I'd better not repeat. 😁

Looks like your dad was half right. Some people just can’t see a man in tights with a cape and not think about how much he weighs in loafers.
