There aren’t many films that are as iconic and memorable as Starship Troopers. It was, in case you didn’t know, an adaptation of a book of the same name. It was initially regarded as a commercial failure. Although the film did not perform well at the box office, it has become a cult classic. But, in the meantime, what have the actors and actresses been up to? Some of them went on to have successful careers, while others failed to live up to their film roles. Let’s see which stars made it big and which ones chose to stay in the background.
Casper Van Dien As Johnny Rico
Without an all-American lead actor, the film would simply not have been the same. Casper Van Dien, with his good looks, undeniable charm, and “good old boy” demeanor, was the ideal choice to play Johnny Rico. The actor did a great job portraying the Arachnid Slayer as a dedicated and focused man with the bravery and fidelity that soldiers are known for. He also gave the character a great deal of depth, heart, and humor. It’s no surprise that the audience adored him!
