My Take
Dean Cain interests me as a study in range before the acting even starts: a Princeton-educated football player, born Tanaka with Japanese roots, who ended up wearing the most American costume imaginable. His Superman in Lois and Clark worked precisely because he played Clark Kent as the real person and the hero as the disguise, a warmth I credit to a life lived outside Hollywood's bubble first. As a Japan-based editor, I confess a small extra pride in his heritage. He may never have chased prestige roles, but his nineties Superman remains, for me, the most likable one ever broadcast.
