Vince Cook

Vincent "Vince" Cook is one of main characters on Champions. He is portrayed by Anders Holm.

Vince runs his family's Brooklyn gym, Champions, with his younger brother Matthew. He took the job after their father passed, leaving him with no chance to chase his dreams.

Vince used to be popular in high school, he had been told these years would be his peak, and hence was recklessly smug which resulted in irresponsible outcomes: secretly fathering a son with his fling Priya, and losing his sports scholarship on the first semester of college after getting caught using drugs. His shame caused him to adapt a pessimistic attitude to avoid responsibility and instead often hides his head in the sand. To cope with his feelings of failure, since he has yet overcome his past setbacks, he holds onto his memories as a high school baseball player with numerous girls at his feet.

When Vince meets his son, Michael, for the first time after fifteen years of absence, he masters up all he's got to make things right for a change.
