Oh, if only every actor were required to play a Klingon at some point in his professional life, wouldn't the world be a better place? Well, I know my job would be a lot easier! In the very least, the late Ben Slack suited up as a Klingon warriorfor a pair of appearances to TV's Star Trek: The Next Generation.

The beautiful Lenore Kasdorf did a fantastic job turning up as 'Mama Rico' aboard Paul Verhoeven's controversial adaptation of the Robert Heinlein SciFi/Classic Starship Troopers (1997). Personally, I loved the film's tone, and I don't understand all of the hate it's endured over the years.

Poor, poor, poor Woody Harrelson. It looks like doom follows the poor fellow around on his heels. First, he has to survive an Apocalypse of the undead in Zombieland (2009). And then he plays a conspiracy theorist who sees the end of mankind fastly approaching in Roland Emmerich's 2012 (also in 2009). Then, he's also had a terrific starring turn in the Apocalypse-themed The Hunger Games. Harrelson was born on this day in 1961. [Source: IMDB.com]

And speaking about The Hunger Games ...When the word of Philip Seymour Hoffman's death took Hollywood by storm, fans of The Hunger Games were understandably saddened by his passing as well as what it might mean for their beloved franchise. Thankfully, the actor had completed much of his photography already so the production remained untouched. Though he's no longer with us, Hoffman was born on this day in 1967.
Aside from the film's obvious globalist political posturing, Arrival (2016) was pretty much about as interesting a Science Fiction flick as any other, though producer Shawn Levy buoyed the project up even further with a solid, A-list cast. He's also helped bring such properties to life as Real Steel (2011) and Netflix's uber-popular Stranger Things. Levy was born on this day in 1968. [Source: IMDB.com]

Fans recognize her from work aboard SeaQuest 2032, Brave New World (1998), Deep Impact (1998), Heroes Reborn, Once Upon A Time, Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Charmed.

Yeah, I'm well aware that the critics largely trashed G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra (2009), but I totally had fun with it. And kudos to Marlon Wayans for taking a swing at the character of 'Ripcord,' as I thought he did a respectable job. Wayans was born on this day in 1972. [Source: IMDB.com]

As of late, she enjoyed a recurring role aboard the Fantasy/Comedy Neon Joe, Werewolf Hunter ... something for which we can all be thankful. March was born on this day in 1974. [Source: IMDB.com]
Meh. Call me old-fashioned, but I think getting turned to the Dark Side of Fantasy might not be all that bad if the vampiress looks anything like Silvia Colloca did in Van Helsing (2004). Colloca was born on this day in 1977. [Source: IMDB.com]

Hunters was one of those single-season programs that really deserved a second, mostly because much of its mythology was just starting to make sense when Syfy up and cancelled it. Britne Oldford was one of the regulars, a character who may've had a closer association with alien DNA than the rest of us. Oldford was born on this day in 1992. [Source: IMDB.com]
Sexy, young Lili Simmons will always be 'Rebecca Bowman' aboard Cinemax's epic Banshee crime drama, but thankfully she had a small role in HBO's Westworld adaptation so that I can mention her work here. Simmons was born on this day in 1993. [Source: IMDB.com]

A star is born! On this day in 1987 (in the United Kingdom), Superman IV: The Quest For Peace soared into London for its UK premiere. With a story by leading man Christopher Reeve himself (though I believe that point has been litigated), the Superhero film also brought back Margot Kidder and Gene Hackman in their roles; and here's the plot summary as provided by IMDB.com:
"The Man of Steel crusades for nuclear disarmament and meets Lex Luthor's latest creation, Nuclear Man."
For the record: Ouch. History is unkind to Superman IV, and that includes even its star Christopher Reeve who was once remarked to have said it's best to say as few words about the film as possible. On the plus side (ahem), the film did score two 1988 Razzie Awards, one for actress Mariel Hemingway ('Worst Actress') and 'Worst Visual Effects.' Double ouch. Essentially, the poor box office and critical drubbing the film took stalled the entire Superman franchise for years. Triple ouch.
