Remember when Will Smith and Randy Quaid saved the world from aliens? Check out the cast of Independence Day now!
1. Will Smith
Will Smith is still making movies, though none have grossed as much worldwide as Independence Day. He WAS nominated for two Oscars, though, so that doesn’t suck.
2. Randy Quaid
After playing a drunk crop dusting pilot who saved the world from aliens in quite the heroic sacrifice, Randy Quaid and his wife, Evi, are currently living in Canada – having sought refugee status after facing criminal charges in the U.S. – and apparently believe that Warner Brothers and other “star whackers” stole their house and may be trying to kill them.
3. Vivica A. Fox
It’s been a few years since Vivica A. Fox played Will Smith’s stripper girlfriend who loved dolphins. She’s coming soon to Sharknado 2!
4. Ross Bagley
Ross Bagley, who played Vivica A. Fox’s adorable son in Independence Day, hasn’t found much success on the big screen since the film. He’s currently attending California State University.
5. Bill Pullman
After playing President Whitman in Independence Day, Bill Pullman went on to play the President again in 1600 Penn. And a child rapist in Torchwood.
6. Mary McDonnell
Mary McDonnell was the First Lady to Bill Pullman’s President in Independence Day. Then she played Captain Sharon Raydor on The Closer and Major Crimes.
