What a burden to be old enough to know who Dean Cain is
Replies

i'm a bit upset all mentions of him being "Superman" lack the much needed qualifier of "over 3 decades ago". that part seems important.
-
no matter how fit you were in high school we all look the same in our 50s belly-crawling through the concrete pipe
-
I can hear the late-night legal ad now "do you know who Dean Cain is? You may be entitled to compensation"
-
I just remembered that he blocked me in The Bad Place for posting this, in response to how embarrassing his career had become:
-
Lois & Clark was a good show, and I'm very disappointed in who he turned out to be.
-
Brooke Shields must be embarrassed as hell.
-
I take a small joy in the fact that once it became clear how fundamentally and badly he as a person misrepresented the character he for decades claimed to identify with, they went ahead and killed off the homage character he played in Supergirl.
He just sucks, so bad.
-
The guy from Rock N Jock basketball?
-
We should start editing all of 'The New Adventures of Superman' with photos of all other previous and current supermans - comics too - and just cover him up and have them talk like south park Canadians. The curse will be lifted and maybe he'll rethink his life and/or cry alittle.
-
Dean Cain is the Scott Baio of Kevin Sorbos.
-
Dean Cain is someone we're all better than at children's playground obstacle courses, and I think that's just fine.
-
I'm exactly as old as Bader, and I only found out about this guy a couple years ago when my kid pointed him out ss the worst Superman ever...last one I saw was Christopher Reeves. Cain is the Victoria Jackson of Supermans (or should that be Supermen?).
-
I think that’s called the Mark of Cain.
-
Especially for Dean Cain
-
one thing is beyond debate and that thing is he should have picked a last name with two syllables
-
I feel it.
-
from superman to superklan
-
This may be controversial, but I thought Dean Cain was okay as Superman.
I mean, not as good as Christopher Reeve or Henry Cavill or David Corenswet or George Reeves or Brandon Routh or Tom Welling or Tyler Hoechlin or Kirk Alyn or Nicolas Cage or Matt Bomer or Jack Quaid or Tim Daly or…
-
we're here for you Paul
-
I'm glad we have each other.
-
Well he was good in Out of Time with Denzel
-
I need to give this 2k more likes somehow
-
They did not need to make aging worse
-
Is that the sequel to Citizen Cain where he runs a school?
-
*was
-
-
The old show is still there, the Performance is still the same, he can't go back in time and retcon the content that exists. He can go superjump up his own ass.
-
Not a burden at all because ... Teri Hatcher, aka Lois Lane.
-
Chronically disappointing 😞
-
-
He's the guy from the Bible who killed his brother and was cursed with dark skin, right?
-
I had forgot who he is 😁
-
The curse of Superman strikes again!
-
I’m 66 and had no idea until a couple of weeks ago.
-
Didn't he used to play Ubermensch?
-
Unfortunately I am!😱
-
🤣🤣🤣🤣
-
Yeah but if we wait long enough, dementia & Alzheimer's may set in & bring us sweet, sweet relief
-
I'm old enough to know who he is, know he's a complete asshole, and see his name pop up frequently lately. But I'm blissfully ignorant on what shit he's saying/doing
-
Was, not is. He is nothing more than an embarrassment now.
-
Imagine the embarrassment of being old enough to have had a junior high crush on him
-
"Born in the wrong era" but for wanting to have been born when all he was known for was being dunked on for the God's Not Dead movies instead of knowing him for being Superman
-
...neither Sisyphus nor Jim Croce prepared us for the gravity of this timeline.
-
The disappointment of learning that he's nothing like Superman and actually way more like the asshat he played in Rat Race.
-
One day I hope to be old enough to forget who Dean Cain is.
-
If you REALLY HATE yourself…
-
I think everyone knows who he is. Our burden is remembering who he was.
-
More like Dean Cain’t finish an obstacle course with only two things on it
-
I'm not sure whether it's sadder to say that it was from watching Lois and Clark reruns or from watching Ripley's Believe It Or Not
-
I’ve never seen one scene of his show .
-
Did Dean Cain write this?
-
Explains the arthritis
-
Real. Ill never forget seeing him in a made for tv movie where he was some future athlete that played a sport where he had to hold a ball that electrified you, and how he had to learn to Ride the Lightning in order to win the game. Lol Why do I know this?!
-
What a glittering array of stars they can call on.
-
He makes mighty fine chicken, though.
-
Old enough to remember him as a Buffalo Bill. Ugh.
-
*was
-
NEVER heard of him, is he in the sausage business...?
-
His presence in this movie haunts me like a will-o-the-wisp out on the moors of memory
-
I remember that his Superman show was pretty good for a tv budget, and that he had a bit player part in Rat Race. Was there anything else?
-
My arthritis acts up whenever I think of him.
-
I was seated next to him on a flight once and i opened the conversation like “hey we were on the lot (wb) at the same time!” That was the last time i was able to speak. He spent the rest of the flight bitching about his ex wife and i fantasized many many times about opening the door and jumping out
-
Ah yes one of the guys from those MTV celebrity basketball things
-
😂
-
I always remember him from an episode of A Different World playing a jock who was spray painting a slur on Cockroach’s car.
-
Right there with you.
-
Not only that, but to have LIKED him at some point?!
And Kevin Sorbo, for that matter
-
What a burden to know who Dean Cain is.
-
When you're expecting Superman and don't even get Homelander.....
-
Imagine being so tired you mix him up with Howard Dean for a moment and get really confused
-
We will sail toward eternity alongside him, and that sucks.
-
Hey, "90'sKids"?
C'mere...
LOIS&CLARK always sucked.
Signed, Life Long Superman Fan.

Let's hope ICE doesn't recruit Lorenzo Lamas next. I couldn't bear to lose another actor who continues to get many starring roles in A-list films and television. I'm sure if I check on him, I'll find this statement to be accurate.
-
It's like finding out your weird uncle is "full send" on trying to sell 3d printed fidget toys as a job😮💨 It sounds like a bit, but I'm not really mad at him, I'm just disappointed.
-
Teri Hatcher was the real star of that show anyway
-
Pop a tylenol, think about Dean Stockton as Superman and move your eyes rapidly for a bit.. loosen those engrams right up.
-
I see your Dean Cain and raise you a Kevin Sorbo.
-
raising Cain
-
The inventor of the bean cane?
-
Terri Hatcher has to come out against ICE
-
Back in my day, shows had a scheduled air time and if you didn't tune in you were shit out of luck!!

dean cain? he was an actor?
-
The star of The Dog Who Saved Christmas?!
-
Yeah, but it was really nice seeing Teri Hatcher in her prime, so... kind of a wash?
-
They should do a series called Maryjane and Peter and it's primarily about their humdrum lives occasionally punctuated with oh yeah he's a spider guy. Starring the jeans lady!

But you're also old enough to remember Lorenzo Lamas, who is also a washed up early 90's show guy that didn't turn into a scumbag. Probably. I'm not 100% on that, but still.
Be more like Lorenzo, Dean. Maybe you could do a ride along with him in that little sidecar on his bike from Renegade.
