John Leguizamo isn’t shy about expressing his views on Dean Cain’s recent career move. The actor, known for his role in Moulin Rouge!, publicly criticized the former Superman star after Cain announced on Fox News’s Jesse Watters Primetime that he intends to become an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent.
Leguizamo shared a video on Instagram on Friday, sharply questioning the decision and stating, “Who willingly becomes an ICE officer? What an idiot. Dean Cain, your pronouns are has/been.”
Cain, famously recognized for playing Clark Kent in the 1990s series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, responded calmly to the Hollywood Reporter’s article on the critique, posting on X, “He’s a talented actor—I enjoy his work.”
Speaking with Fox News Digital, Cain explained that his ICE plans are in line with his earlier decision to work in law enforcement nearly a decade ago. “Our ICE agents, who are amazing men and women, are incredible. And they’re black, and they are brown and green and yellow and Japanese and whatever. They’re a cross-section of Americans,” he said. “They are doing their job, the job that Congress wrote the laws for them to support and uphold, and they’re doing the job of deporting people who are here illegally.
“If you’re a legal citizen here in this country, no worries, you’re great, but if you’re here illegally, you’ve broken the law to begin with, whatever the circumstances are. You had multiple opportunities to self-deport, and the fact that these men and women who are doing their jobs are getting vilified, I had to stand up with them and for them because I think it takes people standing up to change the culture.”
Cain also recently made headlines for questioning James Gunn’s upcoming Superman reboot after the director called the character “the story of America … an immigrant that came from other places and populated the country.”
In a TMZ interview, Cain asked, “How woke is Hollywood going to make this character? How much is Disney going to change their Snow White? Why are they going to change these characters to exist for the times?”
