Its a bird, its a plane, its Motor City Comic Cons next 2015 Media Guest... Give a Super warm welcome to DEAN CAIN! 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 receded from the headlines, though he continued to work, hosting a revamped Ripleys 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). Since that high profile role, Cain appeared as a regular on Hope & Faith, (ABC, 2003-06) and played the recurring character of Casey Manning on the hit series, Las Vegas (NBC, 2003- ). He had a lead role in the made-for-television disaster epic, 10.5: Apocalypse, (NBC, 2006), then starred in another made-for-TV holiday romance, A Christmas Wedding, (Lifetime, 2006), and the miniseries, Final Approach (Hallmark, 2007). In September Dawn (2007), his step-fathers period drama on the Mountain Meadows Massacre in 1857, Cain had a small, but significant role as Joseph Smith, founder of the controversial Mormon Church. He has also starred in several films, including The Broken Hearts Club (2000) and Baileys Billion$ (2004) (co-starred Laurie Holden, Jennifer Tilly and Tim Curry). Cain made a return to the Superman franchise, with a special guest role in a seventh season episode of Smallvilleas the immortal Dr. Curtis Knox, a character based upon the DC Comics villain Vandal Savage. Hes #33 on VH1s 40 Hottest Hotties of the 90s. Cain has also made an appearance in Internet Explorer 8 commercials. In 2012 Dean starred in the Hallmark movie Operation Cupcake along with Kristy Swanson and was a contestant on FOX TVs The Choice and NBCs Stars Earn Stripes. He won 4 out of 6 missions on Stars Earn Stripes and came in 3rd place in the final. In 2014, Cain hosted a reality show about Bigfoot called 10 Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty where he offers contestants $10,000,000.00 to prove the existence of Bigfoot. Cain appeared in the second half of Season 3 of Comic Book Men, appearing at Kevin Smiths Secret Stash where the crew was celebrating 75 years of Superman, citing that Dean Cain helped people care about Superman again. Currently, Dean stars on VH-1s highly popular Hit The Floor TV series as NBA coach Pete Davenport for the Los Angeles Devils. The show is now in their third season.
