Jeff Hoffman
Executive Producer/Director
A dual citizen of the US and Canada, Jeff has filmed in virtually every state and province. For over 30 years, he garnered experience filming worldwide as far away as Easter Island, and both the north and south poles, as well Mexico, Europe and Israel. As a cinematographer, Jeff has extensive credits on Hollywood feature films, movies-of the-week, international documentaries, television programs and commercials. His clients range from German television (ZDF and ARD) and the big three US networks (ABC, CBS & NBC), to HBO, Disney and Nickelodeon. Notably, he worked on the Emmy award winning “Peewees Playhouse,” Michael Jackson’s music video, “Thriller," as well as the acclaimed Canadian documentary, “The Corporation,” and Academy Award nominated Best Feature Documentary, “Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life.” Jeff’s passion about telling this largely untold story, is the driving force behind “Unlikely Heroes.”
Marc Gold
Executive Producer
With his Fresh Cats Productions, Marc has financed and produced five feature films. He follows his passion, whether it's an inspirational film such as “Wish Man,” or this film on Israel's War of Independence, which is why he has chosen to produce “Unlikely Heroes.” According to Marc, having served in the Armed Forces, "I wish I could have lived at the time of 1948, so I could have volunteered to fight for Israel." In addition to this film, Marc is currently working on a full slate of scripted and non-scripted television and alternative media projects, as well as feature films.
Dean Cain
Host/Narrator
Dean Cain was born Dean George Tanaka in Mount Clemens, Michigan, to actress Sharon Thomas Cain and Roger Tanaka. His mother married his adoptive father, director Christopher Cain, when Dean was three. Though he grew up in Malibu and attended Santa Monica High School, his career plans favored professional football over acting. While at Princeton, he completed a history major, dated Brooke Shields for two years, and set a Princeton record for
interceptions in a season (12). After signing with the Buffalo Bills, a knee injury ended his pro career before it began. Though he had already played a part in his father's The Stone Boy, he went through
the usual route of commercials and tv-parts (notably. Beverly Hills. 90210 in 1990) before landing his break-through role as Superman/Clark Kent in the series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.
Dean is a strong supporter of Israel and was nominated for an Emmy for the antisemitism documentary ‘Hate Among Us’.
