Players

Players is a comedy on Spike TV about two brothers, Bruce (Matt Walsh) and Ken (Ian Roberts), whose personalities couldn't be more dissimilar. Despite their differences, they own a sports bar together, which Bruce takes advantage of as a place to place bets, date cocktail waitresses, and have fun, while Ken is more concerned with the business of the bar and turning a profit. The two play off each other and Ken serves as Bruce's antagonist, as the two remain brothers first, and business partners second. Some of the other characters around their bar include Hickey, a senior member of the staff who spends more time bidding on sports memorabilia on ebay than working, Calvin (James Pumphrey), a young bartender who admires Bruce and wants to be like him, and Vicky (Danielle Schneider), a waitress whose "type" exclusively consists of professional athletes. With this cast of characters, running a bar by the seat of their pants is sure to lead to some wacky hijinks. Walsh is also the creator of the show, he and Roberts are among the executive producers as well, and both are former members of the Upright Citizens Brigade. MORE
