Can You Recall These Starship Troopers Characters? See Where They Are Now

Mr. Rico – Christopher Curry

Mr. Rico is the well-off and disapproving father of our hero, played by Christopher Curry. Mr. Rico was a very minor character in the film, with a very short screen time, but he helped to establish the contrast between normal, suburban civilian life and the alien horrors of the military universe. When Rico announces to his parents that he wants to join the Mobile Infantry, his father is immediately disapproving, knowing full well that his son could easily die painfully far, far away from Earth.
