All Major Actors & Cast List for Netflix’s Players

Players focuses on Mack, a sports journalist who acts as a wingman for her friends. She’s not your regular wingman, either, as she and her friends concoct elaborate set-ups to get everyone an “in” with their target. Here’s who lends their acting talents to this Netflix movie:

Gina Rodriguez as Mack

Main character Mack talking to two friends in Players.

Actor Gina Rodriguez plays Mack, who, after years of doing her wingman thing, has a new guy, Nick, in her sights. Her friends, who’ve all had her help with hookups, come to her aid. Rodriguez has plenty of credits to her name, but I’ll always remember her as the unfortunate victim of Annihilation’s mutant bear.

Tom Ellis as Nick

Tom Ellis as Nick in Players.

Tom Ellis is Nick, Mack’s would-be-love interest and a highly acclaimed war correspondent who’s accomplished more than most of her friends put together. Like Rodriguez, Ellis has had plenty of acting roles. However, even if you’ve only seen a single clip of it, chances are you know him as the titular character in Lucifer.

Damon Wayans Jr. as Adam

Damon Wayans Jr. as Adam in Players.

Adam is Mack’s “sweet and supportive” best friend. Heā€™s reliable and thoughtful and knows that her comfort food is “sad falafel.” He works at the same newspaper as she does. I’m trying very hard not to spoil things, but if you’ve seen literally any romantic comedy, you’ve got an idea where this is going. Wayans has featured in a host of shows, including a spot on the second Twilight Zone revival, and showed up in movies like Tom Holland’s crime drama Cherry.

The Full Cast of Netflix’s Players

Players also features Augustus Prew as Brannagan, another of Mack’s friends, who has the unfortunate task of writing the paper’s obituaries. Joel Courtney is Little, Brannigan’s brother who, despite not actually working for the newspaper, hangs around the place. Ego Nwodim is Adam’s girlfriend, who will definitely be together with him at the end. And Liza Koshy is the paper’s secretary, Ashley.

Here’s the full cast list for Players:

  • Mack – Gina Rodriguez
  • Adam – Damon Wayans Jr.
  • Nick – Tom Ellis
  • Brannagan – Augustus Prew
  • Little – Joel Courtney
  • Ashley – Liza Koshy
  • Claire – Ego Nwodim
  • Karen Kirk – Marin Hinkle
  • Brady Stratton – Brock O’Hurn
  • Mary – Sarah Dacey Charles
  • Tattoo Librarian – Sterling JonatĆ”n Williams
  • Carl – Jerry Kernion
  • Waitress – Veraalba Santa
  • Martini Blonde – Claudia Maree Mailer
  • Straw Hat – Nicholas Shields
  • Windbreaker Coach – Ashley Albert
  • Kirk’s Husband – Dan Cordle
  • Ticket Taker – Tony Foggia
  • Bartender #1 – Joe Locicero
  • Bartender #2 – James Hightower

And those are all major actors and the cast list for Netflix’s Players.
