There aren’t many films as memorable and legendary as Starship Troopers. In case you didn’t already know, it was based on a novel of the same name. It was first seen as a commercial flop. Even though it did not do well at the box office, the film has become a cult favorite. But, in the meanwhile, what have the actors and actresses been up to? Some of them went on to have successful careers, while others were not able to outperform their parts in the film. Let us find out which stars rose to prominence and which chose to remain unnoticed.
Casper Van Dien As Johnny Rico
The film just would not have been the same without an all-American main actor. Casper Van Dien was the ideal choice for the role of Johnny Rico because of his excellent looks, obvious charisma, and “good old boy” demeanor. The actor was successful in presenting the Arachnid slayer as a devoted and focused guy with the courage and loyalty that soldiers are supposed to have. He also gave the character a lot of depth, emotion, and comedy. It’s no surprise that the audience fell in love with him!
