When
Casper Van Dien was a child Star Trek was his favourite TV show and that's why he will be in good company at
FedCon 26 in Bonn.
Together with
Mark Dacascos and
Tia Carrere he will give an unforgettable comedy show on Friday evening. Wait and see!
After his military training, which belonged to the tradition of his family, he moved to Los Angeles and his acting career began. He played numerous roles in different popular series, such as
One Life to Live and
Beverly Hills, 90210. His breakthrough role, however, was the one of Johnny Rico in the 1997 cult movie
Starship Troopers by Paul Verhoeven. Playing that part led to him being cast in a lot of productions, the first one being
Tarzan and the Lost City, where he played none other than Tarzan himself! In 1997, he was cast for the role of Brom von Brunt in Tim Burton's
Sleepy Hollow along with Johnny Depp. His most prominent role, Johnny Rico, recurred in the sequel
Starship Troppers 3: Marauder and Casper was again asked to play him. At the moment he is filming
Aaah! Roach! and his next project will be
Garrison 7: The Fallen alongside Mark Dacascos.
