Both Casper Van Dien and Denise Richards were introduced to the world at large in Paul Verhoeven's repellent "satire" Starship Troopers; Casper the Friendly Hunk's career nosedived almost at once (case in point: Titans) and he is now stuck in the field of what used to be called "video fodder" - Danger Beneath The Sea, Tarzan and the Lost City, etc. Denise, on the other hand, was one of the few people in Starship Troopers not to get naked, and strangely enough has had a much healthier career, in terms of visibility if not art (come on, no one thinks Valentine was robbed at the Oscars). But can she avoid the Bond girl curse? Hey, if she can take Charlie Sheen to the altar, anything's possible.
Recommended viewing: National Lampoon's Loaded Weapon 1* (see also Kathy Ireland), Nowhere (see also Heather Graham and Rose McGowan), Wild Things (aka The Denise-Makes-Out-With-Neve-Campbell Movie), Drop Dead Gorgeous (see also Kirsten Dunst), The World Is Not Enough, Good Advice* (see also Rosanna Arquette), Empire and Undercover Brother. Denise has also done TV shots on the likes of Spin City*, Melrose Place (see also Heather Locklear and Alyssa Milano) and Friends (see also Elle Macpherson). And then, of course, there were those Head & Shoulders ads (see also Salma Hayek).
