Actor Dean Cain Leaves Hollywood to Embrace Faith-Based Filmmaking for Impactful Messages

Actor Dean Cain said he has left Hollywood after he and his son decided they needed to leave California.

“I have my opinions,” Cain recently told CBN Digital. “You see a lot of debauchery in Hollywood. I’ve been debaucherous myself; I’ve done things that I’m not proud of. I’ve asked forgiveness for those things, and I’ve mended my ways. There’s just so many things about being there.”

The 1990s “Superman” star is now living in Las Vegas.

“You don’t find a whole lot of [Christian faith], certainly not openly, in Hollywood,” the 57-year-old actor said. “That’s why I make all of the faith-based films I make because I want those messages out there. … I think those movies are really important."

“They may affect someone’s life, and they may speak to an experience somebody understands,” he said, “And if that happens, I’ve done the right thing by making that film.”

Cain also said when he became a father, his faith was strengthened by the new role. He has one son, Christopher Dean Cain, who is in his 20s.


“I started to raise this kid — and I knew he was more important in the world than me,” he said. “I started having to answer questions, even to him. I remember when he learned that he was going to die someday. … That’s around the time that I realized, you know, he needs to understand faith and understand why we’re here and have that make sense to him.”

“We all have our own process,” the celebrity said. “You may grow up in a household full of Christian teachings and go to church every Sunday and still have those questions — and that’s natural. I believe it’s natural, and everybody’s relationship with God is subjective. It’s unique, and the way they get there … is their own journey.

“And I’ll just say, God and I have a lot more conversations now than we did when I was 25,” he added.
