Actor, director, writer and producer Dean Cain, best known for his role as Superman/Clark Kent in the 1990s series "Lois & Clark" has been visiting various Christian sites in Israel this week to film a travel show with Laura McKenzie and he brought his high school son with him for the whole experience.
Cain, who also starred in the blockbuster faith-based movie "God's Not Dead," told JPost that going to Israel has been a long-time dream. As a history major in college, the actor shared that he has always been fascinated with the country's rich past.
"I always wanted to be here," the actor said. "There are few places on earth that have as much historical value."
Apart from working on the travel series, Cain also visited Zionist Union MK Hilik Bar, whom he previously met while working with From the Depths, an organization that works to preserve Jewish sites. Bar described the actor as a "special person" with a great love for Israel and the Jews.
Cain isn't Jewish and has previously described himself as a person of faith but not of any specific faith, such as Buddhist, Catholic, Christian or Muslim. He once told Beliefnet that he doesn't align with a particular religion but he often has "personal conversations" with God.
He also said he lives by the Golden Rule and supports a lot of causes. The actor has been a staunch ally of the campaign for Israel to recognize the 1915 Armenian Genocide.
Cain actually produced the documentary "Architects of Denial" that touched on the subject, alongside Montel Williams. Because of his work, the actor received the Order of Honor from President Serzh Sargsyan of Armenia.
"Our intention in making this film was to educate and to shine a light on this dark moment of history in the hope that it will no longer be denied, and will never be allowed to happen again," the actor stated, adding that there will be a follow up to the documentary, which will touch on anti-Semitism.
