Played by: Marisa Tomei
Well into the twilight of a long career as a professional wrestler, Robin Randzowski—a.k.a. Randy “The Ram” Robinson—barely scrapes by working a few shifts at a supermarket deli counter and performing in two-bit matches on weekends. A regular at a local strip club, he develops a friendship with one of the dancers, Cassidy. She sees a good and decent person under his burly and scarred exterior, as she understands the anxiety that comes with an uncertain future. More than that, she (a single mom) encourages Randy to reach out to his estranged daughter—even as she rebuffs his attempts at starting a romantic relationship. Tomei—who’s found great success in supporting roles—adds much depth and wisdom to what could have been just another stripper-with-a-heart-of-gold role.
