Honestly I do feel a bit sorry for Berkely with Showgirls, I think its clear the whole thing was like Starship Troopers intended as a bit of a piss take of the kind of sex thrillers Hollywood was releasing in the late 80's and early 90's yet I'm guessing a lot of the cast weren't really in on that and didn't realise how ridiculas they were going to look. I think it was noticble though that her career was killed stone dead yet Casper Van Dean's was not whilst looking arguably just as silly as a dumb space Nazi.
Starship Troopers is a cult classic. Its a brilliant satire that critics at the time didn't realize was satire. It's the reason anyone even knows who Casper Van Dien is in the first place. He hasnt really done anything after that and also wasn't a child actor so weird comparison to make.
