Farscape Star Says Sci-Fi Used to Be 'The Ghetto for Actors'
Ahead of Farscape's 25th anniversary, Ben Browder remembers working in the sci-fi genre before "it went completely mainstream."
We live in an era where aliens, intergalactic travel, and superpowers are accepted in mainstream blockbusters, but this is honestly a somewhat recent phenomenon. Aside from Star Wars and Amblin Entertainment films, prior to the '90s (and the advent of CGI and digital VFX), sci-fi was generally relegated to B-Movie status, with most 'serious' filmmakers and actors unfortunately avoiding the genre as much as they could. With the MCU, DC movies, and Avatar dominating box offices the past two decades, times have certainly changed. Even in the 25 years since Farscape premiered.
