"Overall, it was amazing. Incredible. What a way to start a career, what a way to learn what doing a one-hour series is like," said the actor, who played football at Princeton before turning to acting.

"There were times where we had great chemistry," the former Ripley's Believe It or Not! host continued. "There were times where it was just the easiest thing in the world.

"Other times, I just wanted to finish and go home. I almost feel like she didn't.

"There were times where I felt like, 'I don't think she wants to go home because she's worried about this one little thing that has nothing to do with what we're doing. And that’s slowing us down for two-and-a-half hours.'"

Despite their different viewpoints when it came to work, Cain admitted the Desperate Housewives star was the better actor who "carried the show."

"I just got to react off her. It worked wonderfully. It was a great pairing," he said. "She's an icon."

He revealed while Hatcher didn’t speak to him for a "short" time: "We didn't have a big [falling-out]."

To this day, "we're still very friendly," he insisted.
