Vote: | I did this film for less money than it costs to stay in this hotel. We shot it in 20 days. We couldn't screw up takes for fun because we didn't have enough film. |

Vote: | I get a lot of action scripts. I get low-budget vehicles that will end up right on the video shelf. I want to do movies that I want to talk about, that I'm proud of, but I also want to make a living. |

Vote: | I mean there's no particular role I'm going after. If there was something I had in mind, I would start to adopt that look. |

Vote: | I think it's wonderful that students can get scholarships to play athletics at universities. But the fact that you can't do that in the Ivy League just makes it extra special. It's really in the vein of the true student-athlete. |

Vote: | I'm pissed that TBS changed their network and did not renew us. I hope they die a miserable burning death with their new program format because I'm pissed. Now again, I don't want TBS to burn to the ground literally. I just want their ratings to go down in smoldering flames. I'm just pissed that my show got jacked. |

Vote: | It's like, now you've done it, you stood up with the big boys and you were good onscreen. It gives me a lot more weight walking into a room. They just treat me with a different level of respect. They don't remember Superman so much as they remember that role, which is a different realm. |

Vote: | When they write about real stuff like my custody battle, that's no fun. Some things have leaked out about accusations that have gone back and forth and that's just mean. It's a tactic. |

Biography
|
Dean Cain (b. 31 July, 1966) is an American actor most well-known for playing Superman in the television series Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.
Born Dean George Tanaka, in Mt. Clemens, Michigan to actress Sharon Thomas and US Army serviceman Roger Tanaka. His parents divorced before he was born, but his mother later married film director Chris Cain and moved to Malibu, California.
At Santa Monica High School, it became clear that Cain excelled in sports. When he graduated in 1984, he turned down 17 athletic scholarships to attend Princeton University, where he went on to captain the volleyball team and play free safety on the football team (setting the NCAA record for the most interceptions in a single season), in addition to joining the Zeta Psi fraternity. He was also rumored to have dated actress Brooke Shields who was one year ahead of him at the university.
Cain graduated from Princeton in 1988 (A.B. History) and immediately signed on as a free agent with the Buffalo Bills, an NFL football team, but a knee injury during training ended his football career before it began. With little hope of returning to sports, he turned to screenwriting and then acting, shooting dozens of commercials and appearing on popular television shows like Grapevine, A Different World and Beverly Hills 90210. In 1993, Cain took on the role of Superman in the new television series Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, which ran until 1997.
In 1998, Cain started the Angry Dragon Entertainment production company, which produces the new TBS Superstation television series Ripley's Believe It Or Not. He has also starred in several films, including The Broken Hearts Club (2000), Out of Time (2003) and Bailey's Billions (2004).
Dean Cain is a quarter Japanese, French-Canadian, Irish and Welsh and has a son, Christopher Dean Cain, with former girlfriend and model Samantha Torres.
