Dean Cain in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman
Cain took on the role of "Clark Kent/Superman" in 1993, which some still consider being his biggest role to date! He starred in the superhero series with the beautiful Teri Hatcher up until 1997 for four seasons. The show was incredibly successful, as it drew in an average of 15 million viewers per episode!
After the ending of the show, Cain appeared in a numerous amount of other TV shows, including Ripley's Believe It or Not!, The Division, Clubhouse, and Las Vegas, just to name a few!
Film-wise, he has appeared in well over thirty different movies, including at least 16 Christmas movies. None of us can really resist a good Hallmark holiday film, right?
