Dean Cain Takes Super High Road After John Leguizamo Calls Him Loser for Volunteering as an ICE Officer
Actor Dean Cain took what could only be called the "super" high road after actor John Leguizamo trashed him over the weekend as a "loser" for the former Superman actor's plan to become an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent.
Posting on X, Cain simply wrote about Leguizamo, "He's a good actor - I like his stuff."
While Cain would eventually respond in the spirit of the old adage, "killing them with kindness," the "Moulin Rouge!" actor's attack on Cain in a video on his Instagram account Friday was bitter and personally insulting.
"What kind of loser volunteers to be an ICE officer?" Leguizamo said in the post. "What a moron. Dean Cain, your pronouns are has/been."
Cain's plan to join ICE followed an announcement by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that it will be recruiting 10,000 new ICE agents. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem also suspended the age requirement for the job and reportedly has nearly 80,000 applications already.
During an interview Wednesday on Fox News's "Jesse Watters Prime Time," the 59-year-old journeyman actor told Watters he'd already volunteered, had been accepted but wasn't sure yet in what capacity he'd be serving.
Cain is an unapologetic conservative who often appears on shows and podcasts to comment on Hollywood.
