After the death of Sixers owner Rex Merrick (Robert Duvall), his son, Vince (Ben Foster), takes over the running of the team. Where Rex was giving and flexible, Vince is stubborn, arrogant, and immoveable. Once Vince realizes his mistake in drafting a bad player, he reverses his father's decision to give Stan the assistant coach position, putting him back to work as a scout. Yet when Stan insists that he's found a unicorn, Vince refuses to take a chance on a wild card — not out of professional interest, but pride.
Foster, who plays Vince, has had a varied career in both film and television beginning in the late 1990s. He got his start at age 16, co-starring with "Firefly" actor Jewel Staite in the Disney Channel series "Flash Forward." Foster went on to play a number of supporting roles in shows such as "Freaks and Geeks" and "Family Law," as well as appearing in feature films "Big Trouble," "The Punisher," and "Hostage."
In 2003, Foster got a recurring role in the Showtime dramedy "Six Feet Under," in which he played art school student Russell Corwin from Season 3 to Season 5. Foster can also be spotted in 2006's "X-Men 3: The Last Stand," playing Warren Worthington III, aka Angel. These days, Foster mainly focuses on independent features, including "Hell or High Water," for which he earned much acclaim, as well as "Hostiles," "Leave No Trace," "Galveston," "The Survivor," and "The Contractor."
