comments: Casper may have gotten everyone's attention with his high profile role in last year's Starship Troopers, but he's been around for a while. His big break came with a role on the long running soap, "One Life To Live", but it's really with Troopers that he's broken out. Look for Casper in a slew of productions, including the James Dean biopic and another look at Tarzan. He makes a great Tarzan, but the film sucks. Look for him in the new Fall show "Titans", a steamy nightime soap that also features Victoria Principle and Yasmine Bleeth.
