We have a new superman! Michael Bishop took on the role of Jonathan Kent, son of Lois and Clark Kent, in Superman and Lois.
Let’s take a deeper look into his real life as the Michael Bishop biography continues.
Michael Bishop on Superman and Lois
Michael Bishop was cast as “Jonathan Kent” in Superman and Lois in September 2022 after the previous Jonathan, Jordan Elsass, abruptly left the series.
“Jordan Elsass has informed the studio that he will not be returning to Superman & Lois for Season 3 for personal reasons,” Warner Bros. said in an official statement. According to sources close to the situation, Jordan’s departure was due to a personal and non-work matter.
Then, after Jordan’s departure, the production team fell into a crisis because they urgently had to find a new Jonathan. “It was a bit of a whirlwind because it all happened so fast. We all just got back to Vancouver to start and then we got the news. It was a bit of a shock for everyone,” explained series star Elizabeth Tulloch.
Fortunately, Michael was available. He even flew to them (by plane, of course) from Australia, then landed the part within a week and started filming immediately. “I’m not kidding, when we read chemistry with him, five days later he was on set,” Elizabeth said. “So he was quick and he took it like a champ and we went with him. I think people will really like him, he’s a great actor and a wonderful person.”
Now, when it comes to fan take on the cast change, most expect Michael to bring a new dimension to the role of Jonathan Kent, a character who has a lot of untapped potential.
“In fact, he looks more like the son of Tyler and Bitsie than the previous actor. I hope he has chemistry with the Kent family on screen,” wrote one fan.
How Much Is Michael Bishop Net Worth?
Michael Bishop has net worth under $250k by 2023. Yeah, it might be relatively less considering he’s in the Superman & Lois series. But keep in mind that he only joined the show in the third sequel. Also, before he only appeared in the movie Spin (2021) as Max and in the series Grace Beside Me (2018) as himself.
He also had the opportunity to participate in the short films Skin Like Bark (2017) and Shelter (2019).
Looking back, Michael has been enamored with acting ever since he played “Tweedledee” in Alice in Wonderland at the age of 8. But even then, he took his job seriously. “The guy who played Tweedledum, we were kids, what can you expect? But he forgot to say his lines. In the middle of the live audience, I said, ‘Come on, make it up,'” the actor recalled.
So, growing up to pursue an acting career, he joined the National Academy of Performing Arts in Australia in the fourth grade, and is now “Jonathan Kent,” the son of Lois and Clark Kent, in Superman and Lois.
Last time we checked, he was represented by Brave Artists Management and Gilchrist Management.
When Michael isn’t acting, he enjoys surfing, writing movies and screenplays, hanging out with people, and eating new things.
