(February 3, 2022) LOS ANGELES, Calif. - iPOP Alumni Bryant Tardy’s latest feature film has debuted on Netflix. The comedy starring Rob Schneider, Kevin James, and Taylor Lautner hit the streaming platform this month. The film was announced via Deadline in June of last year.
‘ Home Team’ is a family comedy loosely inspired by New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton. The feature focuses on Payton’s experiences during his year-long suspension from the league. Two years after a Super Bowl win, when Payton (Kevin James) returns to his hometown, he reconnects with his 12-year-old son by coaching his Pop Warner football team. In the film, Bryant plays the role of Dennis, a young football player on Payton’s (Kevin James) team. Additional cast members include Jackie Sandler, Gary Valentine, Tait Blum, Maxwell Simkins, and Jacob Perez, to name a few.
The film is co-directed by Charles and Daniel Kinnane, with a script written by Christopher Titone and Keith Blum.
Bryant Tardy, who got his start with iPOP LA, has had a busy and blossoming career. The actor, who stars in two TV shows currently, "Secrets of Sulphur Springs" and "Tell Me Your Secrets," most recently appeared in the oscar-nominated film "Queen and Slim." Bryant will next appear in the thriller ‘They Whisper’ alongside fellow iPOP alumni Madison Wolfe. The indie film written and directed by David Bush is currently in post-production.
On Bryant’s experience with iPOP LA, he had this to say, “My IPOP experience was amazing! Since IPOP!, I appeared in the movie 'Logan' with Hugh Jackman, and lots of television, including shows such as CBS’s 'The Odd Couple,' 'Hap and Leonard,' 'Austin and Ally' on the Disney channel, and 'The Soul Man' with Cedrick the Entertainer.
