Cast Spotlight: Justin Sterner as Earl

Published August 28, 2025 • Pine Line Studios

Justin Sterner plays Earl, a dedicated gamer whose comfort zone is a screen—not a court. The team needs him, which means it’s time to trade late nights for drills and discover what he can really do.

Earl’s training arc fuels a lot of the movie’s situational comedy—missed shots, epic flubs, and surprising breakthroughs. Watching him level up in real life becomes one of the film’s most satisfying payoffs.

By the time the championship looms, Earl’s not just in shape—he’s found his place.
