At first, producers of "Lois & Clark: The new Adventures of Superman" thought Dean Cain, then 27, too young for the role of Clark Kent/Superman. Luckily, after 4 auditions, Dean was chosen for the role opposite Teri Hatcher's Lois Lane. Dean fit into those tights quite nicely, and made red briefts (outside his tights, mind you) look good.

Step-son to director/producer Christopher Cain (Young Guns), Dean was born in Mt. Clements, Michigan on July 31st, and grew up around shores of Malibu, California. He attended Santa Monica High School and was an awesome athlete. He excelled physically as well as academically, and was offered 17 scholarships to play football. Instead, Dean chose to attend Princeton University. There, he received a BA in history, and played football on the starting line-up of the Princeton Tigers.
