Ex-Superman actor Dean Cain has announced he is planning to join the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, known as ICE.

In an interview on Wednesday, Cain, who is already a sworn law enforcement officer, said, "I will be sworn in as an ICE agent asap".

It comes after he released a video encouraging members of the public to join following a recruitment drive by the agency, which is behind the Trump administration's ramped-up immigrant deportation efforts.

Cain played the role of Superman between 1993 and 1997 in the TV series, Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman.

Just when you thought you'd seen it all, ICE is taking washed up actors into its ranks.

1. It is possible that someone is about to find out that he is not really The Man of Steel. (n/t)

[buzzycrumbhunger]

2. Oh FFS...

*That* ought to make him relevant again. *eyeroll*

[hamsterjill]

3. He isn't and never was a Christopher Reeve.

Yech!!!!

[PSPS]

14. I think the original George Reeves was better

[hamsterjill]

15. Duly noted.

I just had a thing for Reeve!!! Hubba! Hubba!!

4. He'll be making videos with Kristi Noem, busting kids at a birthday party.

Dr Phil will be standing by, trying to hide his "excitement".

6. I can hardly wait to see what South Park

does with this. 🤣

[relayerbob]

5. South Park, IRL

[Jacson6]

7. He wants to send 14 year olds to Alligator Alcatraz and think of him self as a hero.

8. Evidence that Brooke Shields has crappy taste in men...

[niyad]

10. Seriously?. She dated him when she was at Princeton in the early '80's.

I gather he was at least semi-sane then, some 40+ years ago.

[LudwigPastorius]

11. I'll defend Brooke.

She dated him when they were both college kids.

His turn into a MAGAt shithead didn't come until over a decade later. He has said that he voted for Clinton twice, and Gore in 2000.

[Freddie]

26. She must be absolutely disgusted

And grateful that she dodged a bullet years ago.

[LudwigPastorius]

9. OK, Homelander

You don't have any actual superpowers. You know that, Dean, don't you?

30. ICE wears masks because they don't want to be recognized. Dean Cain won't have that problem.

31. !

12. Pathetic

[William Seger]

13. Truth, Justice, and the American way?

Cain is Bizarro Superman now.

[cstanleytech]

18. Anti-American in this case.

[montanacowboy]

16. Looks like

Dean has put on an extra 200 lbs! Yuck.

[Lifeafter70]

19. I read he was not actually joining ICE

DHS is just making him an honorary member. The problem with that is there is no honor in ICE.
So they will probably just use him for propaganda. He and Kristy can play dress up together.

24. Kind of like when Elvis asked Nixon to make him a special FBI agent? n/t

[Lifeafter70]

25. Yep

I also read that his claim to be a police officer and a sheriff were either volunteer or honorary.
But the dude has been in a lot of hallmark Christmas and religious movies

[C Moon]

20. So many GREAT comments on this thread!! :D

[BaronChocula]

21. Dean Cain - Man of Stool n/t

[maxsolomon]

23. LOL, he's 59.

He's going to break a hip.
