Actor John Leguizamo recently voiced strong criticism against Dean Cain, known for his role as Superman, following Cain’s announcement of his intention to join the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. Leguizamo took to Instagram to express his disapproval, labeling Cain a “loser” and a “moron” for his decision. The “Moulin Rouge!” star questioned the rationale behind volunteering for such a role, suggesting that Cain’s choice was misguided.
In response to Leguizamo’s remarks, Dean Cain offered a composed reply on social media platform X. He acknowledged Leguizamo’s talent as an actor and expressed his appreciation for his work. Cain, who gained fame in the 1990s as Clark Kent in “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman,” explained his motivations for joining ICE during an interview with Fox News Digital. He emphasized his commitment to supporting ICE agents, whom he described as diverse and dedicated individuals upholding immigration laws.
Cain elaborated on his decision by highlighting the importance of enforcing immigration laws and protecting American citizens. He noted that ICE agents are tasked with deporting individuals residing illegally in the country, a responsibility he believes is often misunderstood and unfairly criticized. Cain expressed his desire to stand in solidarity with these agents, advocating for a cultural shift in how their work is perceived.
In addition to addressing his involvement with ICE, Dean Cain has been vocal about cultural shifts in Hollywood. He recently commented on James Gunn’s adaptation of “Superman,” questioning the portrayal of the character as an immigrant symbolizing America. Cain also expressed concerns about potential changes to iconic characters like Disney’s Snow White, questioning the motivations behind such adaptations.
