How come he didn’t have a longer A list run?Tom Holland isn’t as good of an actor & he’s still fairly popular. At least with Casper he had fairly decent comedy chops in some of the movies he did outside of Starship Troopers.
>>221240016He's good looking but he doesn't have the presence needed to be leading man.
He's like a grunt version of Alain Delon, he couldn't fit any archetype
>>221240016He can’t act and he didn’t make anything successful
>>221240016he didn't give head to gay jewish producers
>>221240113Not sure how successful Starship troopers was at the time but that's probably his best movie
>>221240016he has the look but he somehow just has no screen charisma
>>221240187Starship troopers bombed
>>221240187It was an outright flop and only turned into a cult movie over time
>>221240016he has the same screen presence as the guy who plays the jerk of the girl that the protag steals in the end
>>221240016He's a really bad actor. Tom Holland is a decent actor and he heads one of the biggest IPs in the world so that keeps him constantly in the spotlight.
>>221240016Looks aren't enough. You also need good personality and a trustworthy look. Your guy looks like a duche frat bro with no personality and screen presence. He should stick to modeling and shaving commercials lol
>>221240016Refused to suck Hollywood homosexual Jew dick and that's a deal breaker sadly.
>>221240016He was great in Cutaway even though they didn't give him billing
>>221241120So it was seething from uglier men?
>>221240805Starship Troopers is a classic and you're a faggot.
>can't actYou can't picture an apple.
>>221241147
>>221240016His face cannot move in any meaningful way.
>>221240913James Marsden! Lol
>>221240805I watched the premiere (yes I’m that old) and the entire cinema was PACKED, as was all showings during the two week run. Everyone on my school and hockey team saw it. Really strange how it could bomb
>>221240016Because he's a terrible actor? He was literally cast in Starship Troopers as a joke
>>221240016Being handsome will get you there, but when you there you have to actually perform.
>>221240016His glossy glazed over eyes aren't good for the screen
>>221240805this is a myth. it did great on home video which made more than box office.
>>221240016He's still doing movies. It's mostly what counts.
He's great in Modern Vampires
>>221240874I remember watching (ranting) it on my birthday, and the cover was full of 5/5 stars and 6/6 dicerolls etc.We rented two movies, but everyone wanted to watch Starship Troopers twice.
>>221240125Took 4 answers to get the correct one
>>221242464>>221243652This is a lie btw.
>>221242464I remember one of the busiest theater experiences I experienced being opening weekend of Waterworld. Not an empty seat in the theater. Bad word of mouth and big budgets just killed some of these movies in subsequent weekends. At least with Starship Troopers home video could save it and now the movie based IP endures till today.
>>221240016Summer of Sam was terrible.
Casper Van Dien was Christian enough that he was starring in the very Evangelical film The Omega Code two years after being in Starship. If he wanted a better chance he probably would have needed to go Scientologist. But he did decently enough even after aging out of those teenager roles that he probably should have maxed out at.
>>221240016White men are over. Nobody is lusting after his luscious nips.
>>221244708Honestly he’s better in modern vampires than he is in starship troopers by leaps and bounds. That movie deserves just as much love.
>>221245312Top tier in Partners (2000) too
>>221240016Everyone thought he was from Argentina due to him saying he was from Buenos Aires in that movie he was in in which he did that.
>>221245764To be fair; he’s what Argentinians envision themselves as lol.Kinda like Philadelphians with Rocky
he streams on twitch now
>>221245794Yes Starship Troopers Extermination
>>221245037He did a lot of raunchy movies after that one though.
>>221245809its funnny he still plays like an old boomer despite logging in hundreds of hours.
>>221245855He was born in 1968 & is more used to pinball machines (admittedly)
He played Patrick Bateman in a scene cut from The Rules of Attraction after Christian Bale declined a chance to reprise the role.
Hollywood hasn't really liked conventionally good looking square-jawed types since the 50s.The heartthrobs have softer faces, and the action stars are more everyman.
>>221245901He actually did play Patrick in Uwe Boll’s take on American Psycho in ‘Sanctimony’.>>221245908James Marsden is who Casper could’ve been imo, he’s cut from that exact cloth.
>>221244797>>221240805No, I watched it multiple times in movie theaters: always full. (same for Stargate) Then video stores had their few copies of the DVD always booked. When I did my national service, all professional soldiers had been brainwashed by the movie (inverse effect of the director's intention).
>>221240016Met him person once. Very magnetic and happy personality.
He was in a film called the Vector File, where he played the hero that rescued his actual irl wife and daughter. I’m pretty sure that hasn’t happened in any other film.
>>221246308i'd be pretty happy if i was casper van dien too
>>221240016I’m pretty sure he didn’t let Hollywood producers fuck him in the ass like everybody else did so he just stuck to doing hallmark channel slop. Same reason Jensen ackles won’t really leave the CW/Amazon vortex
>>221246383Dina Meyer deep kissed and licked him in Starship Troopers. Yeah, we'd all be happy anon.
Army Dog was kino
Very cool actor.
>>221247582Agreed
Hilarious and charming af in the James Dean biopic he did.
>>221247321It kind of makes me sad that we have the AI technology to make platoon but with dogs but no ones done it yet
>>221246461>Same reason Jensen ackles won’t really leave the CW/Amazon vortexOr you know, he built strong relationships with those companies and got paid extremely well so Jensen felt comfortable to not leave and pursue other projects with no guarantee of similar level of success
>>221249014People love conspiracy theories.
>>221240016he gave us grace who thus far has a longer run than tom holland and zendayas daughter and or son
>>221249087Based
