‘Independence Day’ premiered in 1996: Where is the cast now?

In 1996, they helped defend the world against a gnarly alien invasion in "Independence Day." After the film's premiere, many of the stars continued to score more great roles in movies, TV, and theater. In honor of the American holiday and one of the most epic White House demolition scenes, our friends at Snakkle caught up with the cast of “Independence Day” and find out what they’re up to now.... and who's STILL killing aliens.

Will Smith, Vivica A. Fox, and Ross Bagley

One morning, the world woke up to hundreds of aliens and a spacecraft parked over major cities. Captain Hiller (Smith) reassures girlfriend Jasmine (Fox) and her son (Bagley) that everything will be just fine. They will totally not need to run from a massive explosion and give medical assistance to the First Lady in a matter of hours!
