Johnny Rico Needs Your Help Soldier

 

 

Casper Van Dein rules!  The above clip is a PSA he did for childhelp.org, an organization that helps children who are the victims of abuse.  In it he once again plays the role of Johnny Rico, the hard-as-nails soldier from Starship Troopers (one of the best damn sci-fi movies of all time). 

 

This ad is 100% pure awesome.  From the music to the large number of extras running around in the background, this thing is the coolest PSA's I've seen since the days of the GI Joe cartoon show.  Props go to both childhelp.org for thinking of this as an idea for an ad and to Mr. Van Dien for being willing to don the space marine outfit once again. 

 

The only thing this ad is missing though is a narrator at the very end asking us, "Would you like to know more?"
