"Piers Morgan Uncensored"host Piers Morgan made 1990’s actor Dean Cain watch a devastating segment of HBO’s "Last Week Tonight" in which host John Oliver destroyed Cain’s fading career.

In his latest episode, Oliver razed Cain for trawling for relevance in his move to sign up with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

“On the plus side, no need for that guy to wear a mask because the chances of anyone recognizing him are f—— zero.” Oliver told his audience. “You know, there’s an old saying in Hollywood. If all you can get is Dean Cain, you are f——. “

“I’m not saying that ICE isn’t finding people,” Oliver continued. “I’m just saying when you are reduced to pinning a badge on the 59-year-old star of ‘The Dog Who Saved Christmas,’ ‘The Dog Who Saved Christmas Vacation,’ ‘The Dog Who Saved the Holidays,’ ‘The Dog Who Saved Halloween,’ ‘The Dog Who Saved Easter,’ and ‘The Dog Who Saved Summer,’ maybe you are in trouble.”

“Dean Cain, your response first of all to John Oliver’s attack?” Morgan asked after playing him the segment.

“Why does John Oliver hate dogs?” said Cain. “So, I did a lot of dog movies. Yeah, I’ve done over 200 movies. You know, I’ve done tons of films and thousands of hours of television. Um, John Oliver is making a point, I guess, that I’m 59 years old and I’ve joined ICE.”

Oliver is not Cain’s only critic for joining ICE. Comedian and podcaster Margaret Cho slammed Cain, who is half-Japanese, and called him a “dumba——" for joining an agency criticized for targeting brown people for deportation.

“You’ll never be white,” Cho told Cain in her video posted to Instagram. “Why would you join ICE and encourage people to join ICE when your ancestors were interned in World War II?”

Cain appeared unshaken in his resolve on "Piers Morgan Uncensored," however.

“Go ahead and denigrate my career, which is weird, it’s an odd thing to do, but what I’m doing is I’m standing up for the men and women of ICE," Cain told Morgan. “I’m a sworn deputy sheriff, I’m a reserve police officer, I have been for almost a decade now, and our ICE agents are being vilified, they’re being attacked, they’re being doxed, and they’re out there trying to do their job.”
