Casper Van Dien (‘Starship Troopers’) wants to join Helldivers 2
In what would be the most obvious and perfect crossover, the actor who played Rico in ‘Starship Troopers’ has shown his support and desire to collaborate with Helldivers 2
The smell of sci-fi B-movie that exudes Helldivers 2 has won over many players, reminding players of one of the genre’s most beloved films by Paul Verhoeven: 1997′s ‘Starship Troopers’. In it, actor Casper Van Dien, at the peak of his physical prime, played former high school football star Johnny Rico, who ended up enlisting in the war against the deadly alien bugs, along with others like Denise Richards and Clancy Brown.
As such, quite a few Helldivers 2 players have asked the actor - as well as Neil Patrick Harris (Barney Stinson in ‘How I Met Your Mother’), who also participated in the film - to get involved in the game. Almost instantly the American actor, now 55 years old, responded to one of these requests on Twitter, although he would later delete the publication.
The user suggested that Arrowhead get Van Dien to participate in an advertisement, and the actor’s approval is there.”Desire to know more intensifies”, said the meme of himself shared by the actor as a response. In fact, although he has not specified whether he is enjoying the game, the actor has shared many publications about Helldivers 2, being very active with the publications of other users and players.
Now the ball is in the court of Arrowhead Game Studios, which will surely soon contact Van Dien to do some type of collaboration. It would undoubtedly be something that the game’s vast community would appreciate and would help popularize their game even more.
