Having a supportive father can make a huge difference in a child\u2019s life. Actor Dean Cain<\/span><\/span> made sure to always be there for his son\u2014even if it meant stepping back from his successful career.<\/p>\n

Best known for his role in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman<\/span><\/span>, Cain originally dreamed of becoming a football player, but a knee injury pushed him toward acting.<\/p>\n

Born Dean George Tanaka in Michigan, he was raised by his mother and her second husband, director Christopher Cain<\/span><\/span>, who adopted him. Cain later honored his adoptive father by naming his own son Christopher.<\/p>\n

His son, born in 2000 to model Samantha Torres<\/span><\/span>, became the center of his life. After a long custody battle, Cain was granted sole custody in 2011 and chose to focus on raising him.<\/p>\n

He cooked his son\u2019s meals, attended his football games and jujitsu tournaments, and often turned down acting roles to be present. Cain later said being a father always came first.<\/p>\n

Only after his son graduated high school did he begin taking on major roles again. Today, the two share a close bond, often traveling together and spending time as a family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
