"Truth to tell, after Deborah Joy left, I didn't think they cared about us very much - they needed Lois and Clark, and that's what they wrote. Lois and Clark's new life in reruns on TNT has eerie parallels with the life of K (shortened from Katherine and later Kay) Callan, who played Martha Kent on the series. K Callan came across her role on Lois & Clark much like many actors get new roles -- she had to audition. "I loved it, I absolutely loved it." "That's not so bad - men aren't so much worse than we are. In the first two years DJL was involved in some way, either hands on or by phone call and the writing featured Lois as important a character as Clark.
And I said, 'I don't know if my Daddy would let me do that, I'm supposed to go back to school!'" Nor would I have kept all those pictures, because I was going to
"There was an audition process," she said. "It was a joke," she declares. From the beginning, they certainly never promoted us like TNT has been promoting us.

It's not hard to love Dean, he's just so loveable and warm and a sweetie-pie." But they did a whole story arc where they were not together, where she knew he was Clark Kent but she didn't know he was Superman, and the fans turned off in droves." Hatcher, who is expecting a baby, will be in the next James Bond film, while Cain has several film and television projects. Created by Deborah Joy LeVine, Joe Shuster, Jerry Siegel. "Obviously, we travel in different circles - he doesn't come hang out at my house!" She took her three children and lived on less than $10,000 for the first two years. She is known to another huge fan audience because of her guest appearance on
Still, she stuck with it, promoting herself until eventually she landed a movie role that got her noticed. Lois did cover the front lines, officially or not. So my feelings for my son were always present when I was playing with Dean, and there's no acting - you just put yourself in that place, and it all just comes from there. she admits. I think Eddie Jones hit on the difference. But Callan understands the impulse on the part of filmmakers...and she doesn't think audience has everything to do with it. Callan has written a handful of scripts, but realized when she shopped them around that she did not want to work as a scriptwriter. The sister of what she describes as "a FAN with capital letters," she grew up sharing a room with movie star photos stapled to the walls. Lois????? "The part of Martha was just supposed to be in the pilot but when they tested the pilot, Martha & John got such a nice response that they added us to 7 out of 13 episodes."
The internet has opened up new avenues of interest and research for Callan. Callan returned home to take a teaching job, planning to go to New York as soon as she'd saved enough.
"The fans were wild - all they really wanted was Lois and Clark in bed. She published
"If you could give me my acting wish, it would be twofold," she says. I'll agree with that. "I think it's wonderful that there's such access, but it's such a tiny part of the market. It's fine with Callan if she's remembered by genre fans for her television science fiction more than anything else. Dean Cain would simply "love" to see a Lois & Clark - The New Adventures of Superman reunion - and so much so that's he's promised Digital Spy that he'll do his very best to make it happen.. But we had a big audience, and parents would talk to me on the street and say, 'We love your show, but there's too much kissing. I would never have gone and asked someone for an autograph.

I didn't think they spent the time writing towards our characters." she says with a touch of regret in her voice, laughing that "We would all wish for a Dean, based on much more than just his looks, which we certainly understand! But her father was relieved not to have to pay for college, so she took the job. "She should have been the actor, because she was gaga!" She met with a prominent agent at William Morris to learn about the business and asked him to become her agent, but he announced that she was too old for the firm to take on - there were actresses who would be up for the same roles who had already won Academy Awards. "I have a son that I think is super," brags Callan, a mother and grandmother who notes that she has "the greatest kids in the world."
She probably just charged her way in, even soldiers afraid of Mad Dog when she started shoving them out of her way and commandeering shotgun in the lead hummer.Officially or not? The genesis of Callan's book about finding an agent came from her own difficulties finding one for herself. She doesn't hold out much hope for a revival of the series because Cain and Teri Hatcher have so many other opportunities. The agent asked whether she'd be interested in singing for a hundred dollars a week at Shepherd Air Force Base - "which was more money than I'd ever heard of. Zlib compression disabled. The show revolved around him and Teri so I didn’t have much to really sink my teeth into, but what I was given to do I enjoyed. If ABC had given
It was horrible. "[To] the real die-hard actors, the 'real' actors, the 'real' directors, whatever that means, the theater is the only place that's 'pure,' but the truth of the matter is that the writer has much more control in theater - management cannot come down and change things and say, 'We're going to change this.'"

Nonetheless, television offers much greater visibility.

Both L&C, but especially Lois, lost a lot of attention to Superman.Superman vs. a villain was never what the show was supposed to be about, but the new writers ignored that and took the emphasis away from Lois and Clark, the show's main title, and put too much of it on Superman.
