BabsonARTS welcomes Seth Gilliam, known for his television roles in “The Walking Dead” and “The Wire”, as well as for films such as “Starship Troopers” and “Courage Under Fire”. The Babson community will have an opportunity to meet Seth, and see him perform both in person and on film.
Set in the distant future, Starship Troopers (1997) follows a young soldier’s exploits in the Mobile Infantry, a futuristic military unit, against the backdrop of an interstellar war. The film, directed by Paul Verhoeven and featuring Seth Gilliam in the role of Sugar Watkins, was nominated for a Best Visual Effects Academy Award. The film screening will be preceded by a conversation with Steven Maler and Seth Gilliam.
Support provided by the Malcolm K. Stearns ’81 Memorial Film Society Fund.
