Casting Couch: Former Superman Dean Cain Flies to "Smallville"

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's... Dean Cain?

The former Man of Steel, who played Clark Kent on ABC's short-lived series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, will head over to the CW's Smallville for a guest starring role next season.

Cain, scheduled to appear in the fourth episode of Season Seven (really, seven?), will play a "villainous killer" named Dr. Curtis Knox.

Curtis Knox. Coincidence that he and Clark both share the same initials? Or are the producers hinting at some other connection between them? Hmmm.

Smallville returns to the air(waves) on Wednesday, September 27th at 8 pm.
