The Characters
Vince Papale (Mark Wahlberg)- Vince Papale is a 30-year old Philly boy who worked as a bartender and a part-time schoolteacher. After he's let go from his teaching job, the Philidelphia Eagles conveniently host open tryouts which Papale feels is his chance to go after his dreams, all the while being the oldest player in the NFL and one of the very few to step on the field without college experience.
Dick Vermeil (Greg Kinnear)- Vermeil is the Philidelphia Eagles' head coach. He hosts the open tryouts looking for some new talent to improve the team and get them back on track form the previous seasons, where they lost the majority of their games.
Janet Cantwell (Elizabeth Banks)- Papale's girlfriend who he met and worked with at the same bar after his wife left him claiming he will "amount to nothing."
