Dean Cain gets heated defending his new ICE role

Dean Cain has once again found himself the butt of jokes, as the former TV Superman is defending himself over his new career as an ICE agent, Knewz.com can reveal. The 59-year-old lost his mind during his appearance on Piers Morgan: Uncensored after Republican strategist-turned-Trump critic Tim Miller questioned whether he’s truly suited for his new role.

“I don’t understand why you had to go a ‘former, untrained actor’ — I’m not untrained!” Cain raged during the heated debate. “Should I say that because you’re a former Republican strategist, you have no say on anything? That’s baloney!” Cain reminded Miller he is a volunteer sheriff’s deputy and a reserve police officer, so he is training — he’s just not trained as an ICE agent “yet.” However, Miller then attempted to test the Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman actor and asked what rights migrants have when ICE shows up at their door. The TV star once again raged, “Let me finish my sentence. … Let me finish my sentence, please. … Let me finish my sentence, please! Denigrating someone because they’re doing this because of what they used to do, or what they do — or whether they’re an actor, a writer or a newscaster — is ridiculous. It’s an ad hominem attack. It’s wrong.”

After he was asked the same question again, Cain admitted he’s “not an ICE agent yet,” and Miller replied, “So you are an untrained, former actor?” Cain then called out Miller for attempting to “denigrate it like it’s something negative.” Miller hit back, “You don’t know the job. That’s why it’s negative.” Miller, 43, is just one in the long list of stars who have mocked Cain. Comics Margaret Cho, Bill Maher and John Oliver have also ripped him.

“I’m just saying, when you are reduced to pinning a badge on the 59-year-old star of The Dog Who Saved Christmas, The Dog Who Saved Christmas Vacation, The Dog Who Saved The Holidays, The Dog Who Saved Halloween, The Dog Who Saved Easter and The Dog Who Saved Summer, maybe you are in trouble,” Oliver said on Last Week Tonight, mocking Cain’s history in Hollywood. “Although on the plus side, no need for that guy to wear a mask because the chances of anyone recognizing him are f****** zero,” Oliver added. Cain took issue with Oliver’s comments, which he slammed on Morgan’s program. “You can make the cheap jibes, and it’s funny. Bill Maher did it and, let’s see, a couple of our congressmen did it too. But the fact that I’m being, you know, pilloried or attacked for joining up with a federal law enforcement agency is insane,” Cain said.

Critics on X were quick to pile on Cain. One critic wrote, “Dean Cain is a pathetic, washed-up has-been.” Another added, “This guy needs to go back into hiding!” Earlier this month, Cain shocked his Instagram followers by announcing he is joining ICE. He boasted at the time, “I felt it was important to join with our first responders to help secure the safety of all Americans, not just talk about it.” Cain, a noted Republican and vocal Trump supporter, urged fans to follow his lead: “If you want to help save America, ICE is arresting the worst of the worst and removing them from America’s streets. I like that. I voted for that,” he said.
