Bet You Didn’t Know: Secrets Behind The Making Of “Two Can Play That Game”

Love On Set

Vivica and Morris weren’t the only two who had worked together in the past. The cast was full of members who’d been involved with other movies.

• Vivica Fox, Anthony Anderson and producer Doug McHenry all worked together on Kingdom Come.
• Wendy Raquel Robinson, Anthony Anderson went to Howard together.
• Wendy and Vivica both starred in the sitcom “Getting Personal.”
• Wendy and Bobby Brown also worked together in A Thin Line Between Love And Hate.
• Tamala Jones, who played one of the friends in Shante’s circle, worked with Vivica in Booty Call  and lastly, Anderson and Mo’Nique worked together on the film 3 Strikes. 

Though some would think working with same actors was stale or represented some type of liability, Wendy Raquel Robinson and McHenry said it was an asset. Here’s what Wendy had to say to Culture:

“It’s a very blessed situation that many of us know each other already,” said Robinson. “It makes a huge difference on a set because there are no egos or drama and you can just be free to improv or ad lib and just try things out without having to worry about stepping on somebody’s toes. It just becomes about getting the job done and doing the best work possible.”
