I hate that you bring up Dean Cain and Kevin Sorbo in the same sentence.

They're actually working on some weird-ass Christian golf comedy/drama movie together, with Dean producing and Kevin starring. My brother worked on it for about a week or so.

He only agreed to it as it was a way for him to get his foot in the door for the industry, and he was a fan of the Hercules show when he was a kid. Also Lois & Clark was apparently our grandma's favorite show, so it was like this weird amalgamation of feelings when he went to work on it.

My ex started as a Production Assistant in the Vancouver Film Industry. She mostly worked on the CW shows and those terrible Hallmark holiday movies that get constantly filmed there. Being a PA was a little like being everyone's bitch, so she eventually made her way into the account department of the same hiring company that managed the PAs.

She had her share of good experiences and plenty of asshole stars.

I probably shouldn't have said "hate," "coincidence" probably would have worked better.

My brother actually has his own business where he makes movie studio quality superhero costumes (the Man of Steel costume is his "bread and butter" according to his words), but he's always wanted to be in the business. So when his director friend asked if he wanted to help on the project, he jumped on it. I think he worked as a grip, so he was still probably everyone's gopher.
