Where Are They Now? The Cast of B*A*P*S

The film opened on this day in 1997.

Ian Richardson - This classically-trained Shakespearean actor brought a touch of the bard to Beverly Hills with his role as butler Manley. While he mostly worked in the United Kingdom, Americans will forever remember him as the man in the Rolls-Royce from the famous Grey Poupon commercial. Richardson died of a heart attack in 2007 at age 72.  (Photo: Dave Hogan/Getty Images)
Troy Beyer - Though she has movie star looks, Beyer made waves behind the camera as well. After writing B*A*P*S, she wrote and directed indie comedy Let's Talk About Sex and then the Nick Cannon/Christina Milian hit Love Don't Co$t a Thing. The actress has kept a pretty low profile since then, having only appeared in a couple projects sporadically throughout the years, including the TV movie Recipe for Disaster and most recently I Really Hate My Ex.(Photo: Frederick M.

Martin Landau - This American icon and three-time Oscar nominee (he won for Ed Wood) is still going strong at 87. After his turn as dying millionaire Donald Blakemore, Landau appeared in such hit films as EdTV, Sleepy Hollow and The Majestic. In 2012, he voiced a character in the animated film Frankenweenie and was also in the 2015 film Entourage. He currently has several projects in production. (Photo: David Livingston/Getty Images)

The 81-year-old died in 2008 of complications from diabetes, just months after co-star Bernie Mac. (Photo:  Ethan Miller/Getty Images)
