The role of the proud alien warrior was played by Japanese actor Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, who many knew from the film Rising Sun in the role of Eddie. Linda Hunt is well known today for her starring role on the CBS show of NCIS: Los Angeles, but many of us know her due to her role in the 1984 DUNE film as the 'Shadout Mapes'. The majority of the cast were unknown, however, three of the show's stars where known prior to their enlistment in the Space Ranger Corps. Production on the pilot was briefly halted due to the Rodney King Riots in LA.

Space Rangers was the show funded to pilot. This relationship between the two had forged films like Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and Backdraft. Pem actually pitched Space Rangers among three other pilots at one meeting with Trilogy Entertainment.

It was developed and created by Pem Densham (the pilot was co-created with Jay Roach) for the production company Trilogy Entertainment Group. This very short-lived 1993 military SF/Space western television show ran for four episodes on CBS out of six that were produced with the filming of the pilot 'Fort Hope' taking place in April of 1992 and the show airing in January of 1993. I originally was only going to mention this one on a Top 10 list, but after some of the responses and enjoy I had writing the FWS article on The Osiris Chronicles, I decided it was high time to give Space Rangers an full Military Sc-Fi Oddities article and take its forgotten, but oddball, place in Military Sci-Fi history here on FWS. It was only after running across a list of very short-lived TV shows on WatchMojo on YouTube that I learned of S pace Rangers. This military sci-fi oddity came and went in the space of a few episode and was largely unknown by many, including me at the time. CBS always seemed like an 'Me too!'American network of late, and they did the same with the sci-fi trend with their own early 1990's entry: Space Rangers. As with any trend, the major American networks attempted to cash in on the popularity and get onboard with the winning team. Back in the early 1990's, science fiction exploded on the American airwaves like a supernova propelled by programs like The X-Files, ST: TNG, and Deep Space 9 along with increased public interest in anime.
