Dean Cain was to play Vandal Savage in 'Smallville'

"At one point, we almost had a Vandal Savage episode - it was the one that we had with Dean Cain - and literally at the last minute, features said, 'We have a feature in development'," writer Bryan Q Miller told Comic Book Resources.

"It was years ago when I think New Line had something cooking, so we had to change it to a generic character named Curtis Knox and it was inferred that he was probably Vandal Savage."

Miller should bring Knox back for the comic and make him Vandal Savage for real this time.
