Celebrity guests are not unusual on The League, but the cameos on FX’s bro-hemian fantasy-football rhapsody often tend to be NFL stars or scruffy comedians. This Thursday, however, the comedy raises its glamour game and welcomes its best-looking guest star ever — no offense Jeff Goldblum. Brooklyn Decker pops up as one of the gang’s old high-school classmates. Back in the day, the gorgeous swimsuit model’s character wasn’t very nice to the fellas. But years later… well, she’s still cold as ice.
It must run in the genes. Her character, Gina Gibiatti, is the younger sister of Frank “The Body” Gibiatti (Ike Barinholtz), the guys’ neighborhood nemesis. “Brooklyn knocked it out of the park,” says the show’s producers, Jeff and Jackie Marcus Schaffer. “She is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet, but once we said ‘action,’ she ripped our guys to shreds.”
“I’m a huge fan of The League so you can imagine the sick pleasure I got out of verbally abusing the cast,” says Decker.” It’s actually frightening how easily I took to playing a horrible person.”
Watch the video clip below.
Decker will appear in three episodes of The League, beginning with back-to-back episodes this Thursday at 10:30 p.m. on FX.
