FIRST AND FOREMOST: I am not Casper Van Dien and do not claim to be. This profile has been authorized by Casper and is solely managed by me to help keep his fans up to date and promote his work.
That being said, I will keep this as up to date as possible as Casper releases information to me. Please do not send messages to Casper here as they will not be forwarded, however, feel free to post comments for him to review, but be aware, they will be screened before they are approved. Also of note, the birthday info for this profile is Casper's, not mine.
You will find my primary profile listed as my number 1 friend.
Now, on with the Casper Van Dien info.
