characters
- Milo Foster
The series initially focuses on reporter Milo Foster. Portrayed by Danny Masterson, best known for his cast in The 70s , in which he starred alongside Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis and others. Masterson plays Milo, a man recently abandoned by his girlfriend, whose friends try to help him get back on his feet. The friends' methods sometimes go in completely different directions. After a short time, the focus on Foster is dropped and the series gives all four main characters about the same leeway.
- Tyler Mitchell
Michael Cassidy plays the somewhat stuffy but stylish Tyler Mitchell among the four friends. He is a journalist for the lifestyle and entertainment sector. He is perfect for this area because he understands a lot about lifestyle in life too. Accordingly, Tyler knows what women want and plays these cards to set the right course for the opposite sex.
- Gibbs
Gibbs (James Lesure) is also successful with the opposite sex. As a photographer you need an eye for the finer things in life, and that's exactly how it is with him when it comes to women. With his eloquence and his positive nature, he succeeds in attracting women.
- Neal Bradford
Adam Busch plays the role of Neal and works as an accountant for Full Steam . He's the only one in the group who has a girlfriend, which doesn't make his life any easier. He's more of the shy, domestic type who likes to be comfortable in life, which contradicts the fact that his girlfriend's father is the boss of Full Steam . At the beginning of the third season, Amy separates from Neal after Neal proposed to her.
- Amy Jordan
Meredith Hagner got the final lead role, playing Amy, Neal's friend, whose father is the owner of the magazine. She is a cheerful person who is actually always in a good mood. Her father is anything but enthusiastic about Neal. What is difficult for Neal is her preference for dirty talk , which he cannot do anything with.
Cast and dubbing
The German dubbing is done by the dubbing company Scalamedia in Munich. The German dialogue books are penned by Hubertus von Lerchenfeld , who also directs the dialogue .
