Hollywood- John Schneider, porn star? Say it ain’t so! Yep, the former “Smallville” regular, who played Superman’s dad for the last six years, says he may be leaving his wholesome image behind for good when he pops up on the new season of “Nip/Tuck” as former porn star Ram Peters. Oh no they di’n’t! “Oh yes they did,” says Schneider with a laugh.

The handsome blond plays Amanda Bynes’ father in “Sidney White,” the Morgan Creek comedy opening Sept. 21, but says now, “I don’t know if ‘Nip/Tuck’ will put an end to people wanting me to play the dad or what. Believe it or not, they’re bringing me on to spice up the show — as if it needed spicing up.” He reveals that Ram Peters is a part of wild child Kimber McNamara’s (Kelly Carlson) past. “Kimber used to do porn, and I’m playing a guy she used to work with. But now I own the company that makes the porn, and when people need money, they come to me.”

Schneider says he was actively looking for a change of face because he felt he’d fallen into a rut the last decade. “It was a delightful rut but a rut nevertheless,” he says, adding, “but now the rut ends with perhaps the best work I’ve ever been part of, ‘Nip/Tuck’ and ‘Sidney White.'” He says of his young costar in the latter modern-day retelling of “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves,” “Amanda is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise completely screwed up populace. She’s got great parents, and it’s great to see someone who has her head firmly planted on her shoulders do so well. The movie’s hysterical. Amanda’s great. … All of her seven dorks are very, very funny.”

Meanwhile, Schneider’s first foray into filmmaking, “Collier and Co.: Hot Pursuit,” has pre-sold some 60,000 units for its DVD release Tuesday (9/18). “I’m very proud of this,” says Schneider, who wrote, produced, directed and starred in the down home comedy he says took 24 years to bring to the screen. A sequel is a definite possibility, he says.
