    He's not so terrible. I can think of a few that are worse.

      Dean Cain has amazing character and spirit when playing a role. In everything I have seen him in he gives off such great energy and charisma unlike any actor I have seen. I have seen many movies and I am a huge fan of Lois & Clark. Most roles he plays in have not been huge, but I do believe the roles he chooses and the work he does to support his family is a definition of his character and that is by far what attracts me to watching anything he plays in. If you are reading this Dean, I have to say, I am a huge fan of yours and would love to meet you some day!

          Ok,explain this to me: they are casting for a TV show(or whatever) and have thousands of would-be actors to choose from, and for some freaky reason, they go out of their way to choose an 'awful' actor. And because he is supposedly awful, he keeps working for another 30 yrs.
          I see threads like this on all the boards, and wonder why,in this extremely competitive business,with millions of the networks' money and their own reputation as producers to risk, that they would do this. What, was he the only one who fit Batman's tights, or was so indispensable?
          I am not judging Cain's acting one way or the other, just asking a hypothetical question. Are these threads created by people who are in the business?

            Unfortunately, Hollywood is not a meritocracy. They don't hire based on talent, they hire based on looks.
            Now, is he the worst actor every? Naahhh
            But he also isn't the best.

              'Unfortunately, Hollywood is not a meritocracy. They don't hire based on talent, they hire based on looks.'
              ..but thats just it.
              If there are thousands of equally good-looking actors competing in Hollywoodwith more talentwhy go with the one with less talent? I never understood that.
              And I never even thought Cain was that greatlooking,or defined how Superman is supposed to look. Are we sure he didn't sleep with somebody? It's not like he was so uniquely greatlooking that they couldn't resist hiring him.
              I don't know about his acting.

                Keep in mind also that his parents are in the business and his first few acting jobs were because of that. He has been in several movies simply because his dad directed them. He basically was born into the business, the door was swinging wide open for him when he was ready to walk through it.
                I never thought he was that good looking either, although he has gotten better looking with age.

                            I can't stand it when I see comments about different actors saying "he's the worst actor EVER" seriously, have you seen every show/movie by all the different actors out there? Don't think so.everything I've seen Dean in he has been great in my opinion. He was really good in Out of Time even though he wasn't in it a lot, he's was GREAT in the Stacie Petterson movie. You can't think of anyone worse? Ha let's see Steven Segal is terrible, Paul Walker is pretty bad but I still like him. There are many far worse actors. Who cares if he does TV movies, I'm sure he is making more money than you ever will and he's staying very busy.
                            I hate too when I see comments of people saying how they don't like someone or think an actor is terrible and say they can't understand why anyone would like them like everyone should be agreeing with you! You need to watch more movies though.

                              He's not the greatest actor of all time, but he's certainly not the worst! Go rent some movies by Lorenzo Lamas and you might re-think that statement.

                                No, he's not even close. You've obviously never seen Robert Forster's work.
                                This will be the high point of my day; it's all downhill from here.
