From acting to hosting real estate infomercials


What is your opinion on this career diversification?

reply

He's just another example of what happens to an actor that supports Trump. You get blacklisted.

reply

Oh come on! Lois and Clark ended in 1997. He had plenty of time to establish a successful post-Superman career before voicing his support for Trump in the last 5 years. He hasn't because he's an average talent, not because he supports Trump.

The question was why was he now doing infomercials... it wasn't why didn't he have a big movie career.

He was always outside the liberal fold which is probably why he never go the parts in the liberal Hollywood machine... he did appear fairly regularly in your typical Hallmark type shows... which is usually where being a conservative an not a liberal is a more likely to get you a part than a closed door.

As for his talent he really didn't have much.. then again most actors don't really have much talent you can find a 5 year old in school that can play make believe. He was not a great actor, but certainly no worse than many of the ones that get tons of roles.

If you know anything about the acting career, he is more successful than about 97% of his colleagues. He's just a lower tier actor.

More successful than 99.99% of people who try their luck in Hollywood. He is still getting roles (albeit smaller ones) over 40 years after he got his start in Hollywood. Most aspiring movie stars never even get past a casting director.

yes

I think you mean from "acting" , to hosting real estate infomercials.

reply

Indeed.

Should've been included in the crisis crossovers.they brought Hoechlins Wellings and Rouths Supermans back.At the very least he could have returned as papa Danvers.

A secret element of te celebrity world?

Let us know when you get your six million.

reply

thats just his assets and estimated money in bank...

reply

How close are you to the $6,000,000?

reply

I don't know what you're looking at, but he had 12 acting parts in movies and TV in 2019 alone. Go to his IMDB page. Jesus, he's had at least 100 acting parts since Lois & Clark

reply

Thank You.
He's a TV actor and there is nothing wrong with that.

And he was creepy as Scott Peterson, lets never forget that.

reply

He was my favorite Superman.

reply

I have to think it's not where Dean Cain wants to be in his career. It must be grating to him to see up & coming youngsters like Chris Pratt nabbing lead roles in movies which he never got in his prime, and now he's doing infomercials.

reply

Interesting point.
