Cain also was a professional actor and appeared in numerous theater and musical theater productions, and appeared in early television on the Sergeant Bilko - a.k.a. The Phil Silvers Show. In the Boston area, he was known especially for playing Ebenezer Scrooge in Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.
