Dean Cain faced backlash after joining ICE, with John Leguizamo labeling him a ‚moron‘ and several Hollywood stars agreeing
John Leguizamo condemned former Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman star Dean Cain for volunteering to join the United States’ Immigration and Customs Enforcement (I.C.E.) department.
“What kind of loser volunteers to be an ICE officer?” the Encanto actor, 65, asked via Instagram on Friday, August 9. “What a moron! Dean Cain, your pronouns are has/been.”
Leguizamo captioned the post: “#DeanCain volunteered to be an ICE agent! I got one word for you: LOSER!”
Frank Grillo — who starred in the 2025 Superman movie — seemingly agreed with Leguizamo, but disagreed slightly with his friend’s description of Cain as a “hasbeen.”
“‘Never was.’ hahahahha,” Grillo, 60, replied.
Academy Award nominee Tatum O’Neal, Empire cocreator Lee Daniels and Purple Rain actress Apollonia Kotero also showed their support for Leguizamo’s stance.
Cain, 59, announced earlier this week via social media that he planned to seek employment with the immigration agency, which has carried out deportation raids throughout the country since Donald Trump took office as president in January.
