After establishing himself as a talent to
watch in episodes
of "Life Goes On" (ABC, 1989-1993)
and "Beverly Hills 90210" (Fox, 1990-200),
actor Dean Cain made his name by donning the red cape for
"Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman"
(ABC, 1993-97).
For several years, opposite co-star Teri Hatcher,
Cain made the widely-played role his own.
By opting to portray both Superman and Clark Kent as hunky
heartthrobs in a contemporary romance,
Cain helped pave the way for the mainstream acceptance
of comic book superheroes.
It did not hurt that he was a good-looking former athlete whose freak knee
injury was all that stood in the way
of a pro football career.
After "Lois & Clark" left the airwaves,
Cain, continued to work, hosting a revamped
"Ripley's Believe It or Not" (TBS, 1999-2004),
exploring his villainous side in the thriller
"Out of Time" (2003),
and playing the murderous, deceitful Scott Peterson
in "The Perfect Husband" (USA, 2004).
Cain continued working steadily in both TV and film, co-starring in the
series
"Clubhouse" (CBS 2004-05)
and "Hit the Floor" (VH1/BET 2013- )
and appearing in films ranging from religious drama
"God's Not Dead" (2014)
to supernatural horror "The Appearing" (2014).
Cain is known for appearing in sixteen Christmas films.
