Dean Cain used to protect innocent people from villains as the comic book hero Superman, but now he will do so as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer. Cain, who portrayed the superhero in Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, announced in a video on his social media accounts that he had joined the federal agency.

“For those who don’t know, I am a sworn law enforcement officer, as well as being a filmmaker,” Cain said. “I felt it was important to join with our first responders to help secure the safety of all Americans, not just talk about it.”
