Dean Cain, the actor best known for playing the Man of Steel on the 1990s television series “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman,” said this week he planned to become an officer for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The actor’s move comes as the Trump administration carries out an aggressive mass deportation program across the nation.
Cain, 59, announced the news Wednesday in a video on his Instagram account. “I felt it was important to join with our first responders to help secure the safety of all Americans, not just talk about it, so I joined up,” Cain said, speaking directly to the camera as John Williams’ theme from the 1978 “Superman” film plays.
He went on to implore other people in the U.S. to join ICE as officers, touting the job’s salary and benefits. In an appearance on Fox News’ “Jesse Waters Primetime” later on Wednesday, Cain said: “I will be sworn in as an ICE agent ASAP.”
“This country was built on patriots stepping up, whether it was popular or not, and doing the right thing. I truly believe this is the right thing,” Cain said on Fox News.
Superman never wore a mask tho; this looks like a job for Batman.
