In my infinite quest to continue creating new and different 'original programming' for SciFiHistory.Net, I'm keeping an eye on any opportunity to expand what data I've already collected in this space and aggregate it in new and different ways.  The most viable of these is these ongoing 'On This Day In ...' featurettes, and today we've got an incredibly buggalicious one involving the stars of the much beloved and much hated Starship Troopers!

Would you like to know more?

Birthdays

You wanna serve, Citizen?  Then say hello to Jake Busey, star of the mobile infantry!  Son of Hollywood's Gary Busey, young Jake enlisted to do his part in Earth's campaign against the bugs -- on the silver screen, that is -- and he's continued to stake out territory all of his own in such genre entries as Jeremiah, The Twilight Zone, Charmed, War Of The Worlds (2005), From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series, Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., The Predator (2018), Stranger Things, and Swamp Thing.  That, my friends, is a resume rich in genre.

BOO-YAH, Citizen!  BOO-YAH!
​
Plus, our young hero earns extra credit for receiving a 'Outstanding Performance By An Ensemble In A Drama Series' nomination for his work in Netflix's Stranger Things from the 2020 Screen Actors Guild Awards.  Double BOO-YAH!

And how cool is it to have another big star from our beloved Starship Troopers franchise also celebrating his big birthday on this day?  Star of stage, screen, and social media Neil Patrick Harris -- one time a promising young physician aboard Doogie Howser, MD -- has grown up into a phenomenon all of his own.  Genre fans might recognize his, as well, from work aboard Quantum Leap, Captain Planet And The Planeteers, The Outer Limits, Justice League, Spider-Man, and A Series Of Unfortunate Events ... but what we will always appreciate 'round these parts in the man's psychic powers put to great use in the defend of Earth against that dreaded bug menace.

All kidding aside, we may not agree with his politics, but Harris continues to delight audiences whenever he puts his craft to use; and -- to date -- he's been the recipient of five Primetime Emmy Awards.  He's no slouch when it comes to great work!

BOO-YAH, Citizen!  BOO-YAH!
