Ice Cube, Writer and Director - As a member of NWA and a multi-platinum solo artist, he was already a rap icon when The Players Club premiered. A nudge from John Singleton set Cube on the Hollywood path. Outside of writing the hugely successful Friday films, Cube also starred in Anaconda, Barbershop and Ride Along. He was also the producer behind the 2015 NWA biopic Straight Outta Compton, which earned an Oscar nomination. He currently has several films in the works, including follow up to Friday. (Photo: New Line Cinema)

LisaRaye McCoy - As Diana "Diamond" Armstrong, LisaRaye was the emotional center of the film. Since the film's debut, she went on to star in the sitcom All of Us, VH1's Single Ladies and her own reality show, LisaRaye: The Real McCoy, co-starring her daughter, Kai. She also spent some time in diplomatic circles as the wife of the premier of Turks and Caicos. The couple are now divorced. Most recently, she appeared in HBO’s Ballers. (Photo: New Line Cinema)

Monica Calhoun - Playing Ebony, the good girl gone bad, Calhoun had to shoot some pretty tough scenes for the film. Already an Emmy-winning actress when she starred in the film, she went on to co-star in a string of hits, including The Best Man and Love & Basketball, before her big-screen work slowed down in the early 2000s. She had a comeback in 2009 with the show Diary of a Single Mom, which lasted three seasons, and the 2013 hit sequel The Best Man Holiday. She also appeared in the New Edition biopic right here on BET. (Photo: New Line Cinema)

Jamie Foxx - We all know what happened with Jamie Foxx's career. The actor and comedian hasn't slowed down since starring as LisaRaye's boyfriend in the film. While his credits are too many to mention, the high-point of the last decade, of course, was his Oscar and Golden Globe wins for Ray. Foxx also played the title role in the controversial 2012 film Django Unchained and will next be seen as super-villain Electro in The Amazing Spider-Man. Most recently, Foxx was cast as Al Simmons in a reboot of the Spawn film franchise. Musically, Foxx dropped his latest studio album, Hollywood: A Story of a Dozen Roses, in 2015.

Chrystale Wilson - Despite small roles in several B-movies and some behind-the-scenes work as a set decorator on various films, it's easy to say The Players Club was Wilson's career highlight. As the no-good Ronnie, Wilson is still cashing in on her scene-stealing moments in the film. (Photo: New Line Cinema)

Adele Givens - Ronnie's partner in crime only starred in one other film, the LisaRaye-starring Beauty Shop, but has had a lot of success on television on shows like The Hughleys, Moesha and as the host of Def Comedy Jam. The actress and comedian also starred in the Queens of Comedy with Mo'Nique. She still tours all over the country. (Photo: New Line Cinema)

John Amos - One of the most recognizable faces on the big and small screens for over three decades, Amos followed his role as a police officer in Players Club with a recurring role on The West Wing and a memorable performance as Pastor Nelson in Madea's Witness Protection. But he'll probably always be best known for his part in the comedy classic Coming to America and as the father from Good Times. (Photo: New Line Cinema)

Charlie Murphy - Eddie Murphy's big bro had a number of credits to his name before he played a loan shark's henchman in Players Club, but he's best known for his work on Chappelle's Show, where he poked fun at his lifestyle as part of his famous brother's entourage. Sadly, Charlie Murphy passed away in 2017 from leukemia.

Terrence Howard - Though he was stacking up credits with bit parts in some high-profile films throughout the 1990s, including Players Club, Howard hit it big in 2004 with Crash. He went on to co-star in Ray, opposite his Players Club co-star Jamie Foxx, and his hot streak continued with roles in Hustle & Flow, Pride and Red Tails. Howard had two hit films last fall: Lee Daniels's The Butler and The Best Man Holiday. Most recently, Howard has been known for his role as Lucious Lyon on Daniels' television drama Empire.

Bernie Mac - One of the Original Kings of Comedy, Bernie Mac rivaled Jamie Foxx as the most famous cast member of Players Club. He went on to become an A-list actor in Ocean's Eleven, Bad Santa and, of course, The Bernie Mac Show. Tragically, he died in 2008 of complications from pneumonia. His funeral in his native Chicago, which drew nearly 7,000 people, was a testament to how many lives he touched.  (Photo: New Line Cinema)

Michael Clarke Duncan - A celebrity bodyguard before he broke into acting, Duncan didn't have to stretch too far to play a bodyguard in the film. Since then, of course, he showed the world his amazing talents in films like Sin City and The Green Mile, for which he earned an Oscar nomination. Duncan died of heart failure in 2012, making him the second cast member of the film who left us way too young.  (Photo: Vince Bucci/Newsmakers)
