DEAN CAIN: Competing for Superman, Leaving the NFL & Wearing His Heart on His Cape

Dean Cain (Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman) joins us this week for a candid conversation about his upbringing on film sets and how his competitive nature that couldn’t get used anymore in the NFL helped him land a career changing role as Superman in Lois & Clark. Dean talks about the nerves and his edge during the audition process to become Superman, while taking an honest moment to share his experience with ‘the best Lois Lane’ herself, Teri Hatcher. We also talk about cutting his teeth in Hollywood during his father’s development of Young Guns, growing up mixed raced with a family that was in internment camps, and what it’s like to have your friends find your mom in Playboy.
