June 14, 2012: Dean Cain Talks Superman Curse and "Lois & Clark" Reunion

Dean Cain as Clark Kent TheDailyBeast.com caught up with one-time Superman Dean Cain, to get his opinion on the so-called "Superman Curse" and whether he'd ever be interested in getting back in to the blue tights for a "Lois & Clark" reunion.

    "I think it's the biggest can of baloney I've ever heard," Cain says. "Let's start from the very beginning. Kirk Alyn of the 1948 serials. He died 10 years ago, or something. Then there were two guys in a row" - George Reeves, who died of an apparent suicide in 1959, and Christopher Reeve, who died in 2004, after becoming paralyzed from a horse-back riding accident. "Now there are four who are doing just fine. If we do the math on that, I don't see much of a curse."

    Curse or no curse, Cain actually wouldn't mind putting the Superman tights back on one more time if Warner Bros ever decided to make a Lois & Clark reunion. "We never got to finish it up, because we hung it on a cliffhanger for Season 4 and we weren't able to shoot Season 5 for medical reasons." When asked to elaborate, Cain says more episodes had been ordered, but Hatcher announced her pregnancy and had to leave the series after producing a doctor's note. "She wasn't able to work," he says. "It's really stressful to work those hours ... it would have been detrimental to her health and the health of her unborn child."
