Wing 4 Actors Test Their Might (October 18, 2013)

Two actors from Wing Commander IV appear in the new season of Mortal Kombat: Legacy. Mark Dacascos (Troy "Catscratch" Carter) plays Kung Lao, a shaolin monk who was introduced in Mortal Kombat II (1993) and is buddies with Liu Kang. Van Dien appeared briefly in Wing 4 but is best known for playing Johnny Rico in Starship Troopers. In MK: Legacy he plays B-film actor Johnny Cage. MTV has published interviews with Van Dien and Dacascos that both mention their Wing Commander appearances. You can watch the live-action Mortal Kombat show on YouTube.






He has nothing but good things to say about director Kevin Tancharoen ("He's got a great eye, he's really funny, he's a great director"), but more than that, the actor gets warm and fuzzy talking about the team working on the film: its stunt coordinator Garrett Warren is one of his best friends and he counts producer Lance Sloane and actor Mark Dacascos as family friends (he and Dacascos has roles in the Sierra PC space shooter "Wing Commander IV" together). He jokes that his son was a frequent presence on set, playing the original "Mortal Kombat" theme song, giving the whole project a real tight-knit vibe.

Speaking of WC4 actors, Chris Mulkey/Hawk appears in Captain Phillips with Tom Hanks in theaters now!

"Sierra PC space shooter"? Try again.

I can't stop lol'ing at Dacascos on Iron Chef so it's nice to see him in something more serious.
 
Yeah, someone really screwed up their research with that Sierra comment
Hehe yeah! That's one of the first things I noticed too when I first found the article. Still, it's cool that both articles bother to point out Wing Commander at all, considering that Casper Van Dien's role is so minor, and I'd have to rewatch the cutscenes but I'm not even sure they're ever together in a scene.

They weren't that I ever noticed. Casper Van Dien appears when Blair first boards the Lexington, then never appears again that I could see, Cat-Scratch doesn't appear for another 3 or 4 scenes. Unless there's another scene Casper appears in the background of that I've missed
