Speaking with KryptonSite, Michael Bishop revealed that he auditioned to play Jonathan Kent when Superman & Lois was first casting the role, and the actor got close to getting it. Jordan Elsass was ultimately picked to play Jonathan, with Bishop joining the DC series in season 3 after Elsass left for mental health reasons.
Check out the full quote below:

Back in 2019 or 2020, I auditioned for Jon, and it got right down to the wire, and I missed out. I was heartbroken. I always felt like “damn, I would have played a really good Jon Kent.” I really felt that, truly, and I don’t normally feel that about roles. If I miss out on them, I usually go “all right, well, you know, that’s fine. It wasn’t meant to be.” But with this one, I was sure that was my role!
Jordan Elsass did a fantastic job with Jon, but to have the role come back to me in this way was so surreal and so incredible. I’m forever grateful.
