Kirk Alyn - Pa Cant
Kirk was one of the industry’s great veterans. Starting in vaudeville, he eventually worked his way into motion pictures. He acted in nearly a hundred television shows, feature films and serials such as Blackhawks.

However, he is most remembered for being the original “Man of Steel” as he was the first actor to portray Superman in the serial of the same name. In the 1980s Superman movie, he is briefly seen as Lois Lane’s father.

In Superbman, Kirk once again is a father. This time as Pa Cant, Clark's (aka Superbman) foster father.

A consummate professional, Kirk was always on set, knew his lines and worked tirelessly. He was an inspiration to the entire crew.

On March 14th, 1999, Kirk flew home to heaven.
