For years, fans knew Christopher Cain as the little boy his famous father was determined to put first.
Today, he’s a grown man — and the latest photos of Dean Cain’s son have given fans a rare glimpse at just how much he has changed.
Dean Cain is a familiar face to millions of viewers. For years, the actor has been a fixture on our screens, from playing Superman to taking on hosting duties and appearing in a wide range of television and film projects.
But acting wasn’t actually his first career choice. Cain dreamed of becoming a professional football player, even playing college football before a knee injury brought those ambitions to an early end. That setback ultimately sent him down a very different path, one that would lead him to Hollywood.
Cain became a household name after landing the role of Superman and Clark Kent in the hit 1993 series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. The show ran for four seasons and turned him into a star, paving the way for numerous leading roles in the years that followed.
But while Cain has built a long career in front of the camera, he’s also earned plenty of attention for another role, one he has often described as far more important: being a father.
Dean didn’t simply raise Christopher while building a Hollywood career. At several points, he made major professional decisions specifically because he wanted to be there for his son.
And one of those decisions reportedly meant walking away from a television deal that could have made him one of the highest-paid actors on TV.
