'We ended up putting in stirrups so that it stayed in place. And the boots were a whole lace-up thing at first. We worked on it as time went on.' 'I remember it being 110 in Burbank. In the Superman suit, you can't sweat. If you sweat, it balls up. So I didn't,' Cain continued. 'I'm a Japanese dude. I don't sweat that much. I'm not hairy at all. They didn't have to shave my chest or anything. But still …' 9 Dean Cain as Clark Kent/Superman. ©Warner Bros/Courtesy Everett Collection Cain also recalled that flying in the suit was brutal because the wires cut off circulation. 'There's no blood flow going to your legs,' he noted. 'After hanging for hours, I would have to get a massage just to keep the blood moving from quadrant to quadrant. Teri would cry. She'd be in tears every single time we had to fly because it hurt.' Cain explained that he filmed 'Lois and Clark' five days a week from 6 a.m. on Monday until 7 a.m. Saturday.

'There was no time to work out, because they couldn't give me a workout clause, because then they'd have to for every other star and then it sets precedent for Warner Bros. That's why I haven't done a series since. It feels like suffocating. You feel claustrophobic.' Cain also expressed that he feels he was financially exploited by Warner Bros.

'Warner Bros. buries the bodies deep and makes it look like it's lost money. There's no possible way.' 'But I should have sued,' he stated. 'George Clooney did it. He sued on 'ER' and got a big payout for his participation. I was advised not to because 'You don't want to bite the hand that feeds you.''
