The Player	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Player is an action-thriller starring Philip Winchester and Wesley Snipes that began airing on NBC in 2015. It was created by John Rogers (Jackie Chan Adventures, Leverage). Originally scheduled to air 13 episodes, the order was reduced and production shut down after 9 with the show cancelled after the episodes were aired.There is currently a Twitter campaign to try and find a way for the show to continue along with an online petition.Alex Kane is Las Vegas's premier security consultant, but when his wife is killed he finds himself caught up in The Game, a high-stakes gambling ring that bets on the outcome of violent crimes - crimes that its mysterious, powerful, amoral backers can predict hours or even days in advance. Enticed by Mr. Johnson (The Pit Boss) and Cassandra King (The Dealer)'s offer of getting revenge on his wife's killer, Alex agrees to become "The Player" and "fight crime" for the amusement of the world's rich and powerful.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Soon, though, Alex finds himself suspecting that there's an even broader conspiracy at play and that there's a possibility that his wife is still alive.The show's character page can be found here.Not to be confused with the Korean drama series of (almost) the same name, or even the name of a film that satirizes Hollywood.

The Player / int_17ce80aa	comment	All There in the Manual: There is a fairly extensive backstory for The Game. The Game began back in The Gilded Age when the world's first millionaires such as Andrew Carnegie, the Rockefellers, the DuPonts, and the Vanderbilts found themselves bored with common games of chance and started gambling on crime. One of them - Thomas Edison - used the lost journals of Ada Lovelace and Charles Babbage to develop the first computing system - calculating the odds on which the Gamblers could bet and coincidentally predicting all crimes. Unfortunately, this quickly got out of hand when individual Gamblers began attempting to influence the odds of crimes in their favor by supporting criminals in proxy crime wars and revolutions; the resulting Lensman Arms Race was historically known as World War I.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

The Player / int_6dcda37a	comment	Afterwards, the Gamblers established the House to enforce strict rules on the Game, and gave it the authority to prevent such chaos from re-occurring by any and all means necessary. A few years of fair play led to the discovery that the majority of criminals got away with their crimes, which kind of defeated the purpose of betting on them. Thus was selected the first Player; a semi-legitimized vigilante with the skills needed to make the Game interesting again, given access to the House's unlimited resources, ridiculously-complete records and nigh-omniscient surveillance, tasked with a one-man war on crime which the Gamblers could bet on - specifically his success, failure, or death.
