Character Analysis

(Avoiding Spoilers)

Living... in Los Angeles, but he will be going to Las Vegas soon for the International Dodgeball Open with his team, the Purple Cobras.

Profession... owner and founder of Globo Gym, a state-of-the-art fitness facility. Their motto: “We’re better than you…and we know it!” White and his staffers treat having a spare tire like a disease, and don’t allow overweight or lazy people to use their gym.

Interests… taking over his rival Peter La Fleur’s gym. White doesn’t think Average Joe’s Gym deserves to be open; all the people who work out there are such losers. Since Peter hasn’t paid his mortgage, his gym is about to be foreclosed, and White has plans to turn it into a parking lot for the already massive Globo Gym.  

Relationship Status... single. White is convinced that the attractive lawyer Kate is interested in him, but in reality she is repulsed by his cockiness. Ever since she turned down a date with him and started hanging out with the losers at Average Joe’s Gym, White has loathed her.

Challenge... winning the International Dodgeball Open. It isn’t just pride that’s motivating White to win the tournament – there’s also $50,000 on the line. If Peter wins the money, he could potentially stop Average Joe’s from closing, which White deems totally unacceptable. But with such large, muscular people on the Purple Cobras, White can’t imagine them losing, especially not to the underdogs on Peter’s team.

Personality... egomaniacal, though it’s unclear what he is so arrogant about. Even he admits that he is not the brightest crayon in the box. As he says, "I don't think I'm a lot dumber than you thought that I think that I thought I was once."
