Ex-Superman actor says he's becoming an ICE agent [View all]

Source: BBC

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.
