Allison Fisher - as herself
To watch any athlete in the throes of passion – performing the sport they love with flawless execution and an expression that dares defeat to cross their path – this is the thrill we so enjoy as spectators. For Fisher fans, this thrill is multiplied, each and every time she chalks up another victory. Allison Fisher embodies the indomitable spirit of the consummate athlete. Forget that she’s brilliant at the table. Forget that she’s the most consistent player in the history of pool. Watching Allison defeat an opponent is memorable for so many more reasons: her precise mechanics, her deadly aim, the incredible planning that goes into a perfect run-out, and the patience of a hungry predator as she waits to make her move.

Kurt Hanover - as Joey
Kurt Hanover joins the cast of "9-Ball" in the starring role of "Joey." Here is what he had to say about this, "I was approached to play the role of Joey after Tony Palma had seen me in
a film called FIGHT NIGHT. After reading the script, I was impressed with
how much heart 9-BALL had. Playing Joey will be a fantastic
challenge; he's a dark and complicated character that really drives a lot
of what happens in the film. Working with Tony and the incredible cast
and crew that he's been able to bring together is going to be amazing.".
