Cannon Robert Drivas Lou Antonio Strother Martin Jo Van Fleet Music by Lalo Schifrin Cinematography Conrad Hall Edited by Sam O'Steen Distributed by Warner Bros. - Seven Arts Release date November 1 , 1967 ( 1967 - 11 - 01 ) Running time 126 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $3.2 million Box office $16.2 million Cool Hand Luke is a 1967 American prison drama film directed by Stuart Rosenberg , starring Paul Newman and featuring George Kennedy in an Oscar - winning performance . Newman stars in the title role as Luke , a prisoner in a Florida prison camp who refuses to submit to the system . The film , set in the early 1950s , is based on Donn Pearce 's 1965 novel of the same name . Pearce sold the story to Warner Bros. , who then hired him to write the script . Due to Pearce 's lack of film experience , the studio added Frank Pierson to rework the screenplay . Newman 's biographer Marie Edelman Borden states that the `` tough , honest '' script drew together threads from earlier movies , especially Hombre , Newman 's earlier film of 1967 . The film has been cited by Roger Ebert as an anti-establishment film which was shot during the time of the Vietnam War , in which Newman 's character endures `` physical punishment , psychological cruelty , hopelessness and equal parts of sadism and masochism . '' His influence on his prison mates and the torture that he endures is compared to that of Jesus , and Christian symbolism is used throughout the film , culminating in a photograph superimposed over crossroads at the end of the film in comparison to the crucifixion . Filming took place within California 's San Joaquin River Delta region , and the set , imitating a prison farm in the Deep South , was built in nearby Stockton , California . The filmmakers sent a crew to Tavares Road Prison in Tavares , Florida , to take photographs and measurements . Upon its release , Cool Hand Luke received favorable reviews and became a box - office success . The film cemented Newman 's status as one of the era 's top box - office actors , while the film was described as the `` touchstone of an era . '' Newman was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor , George Kennedy won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor , Pearce and Pierson were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay , and the score by Lalo Schifrin was also nominated for the Best Original Score . In 2005 , the United States Library of Congress selected it for the National Film Registry , considering it to be `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant . '' It has a 100 % rating on the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes . The quotation used by the prison warden ( Strother Martin ) in the film , which begins with `` What we 've got here is failure to communicate , '' was listed at No. 11 on the American Film Institute 's list of the 100 most memorable movie lines .

He is sentenced to two years in prison and sent to a Florida chain gang prison run by a stern warden , the Captain ( Strother Martin ) , and a stoic rifleman , Walking Boss Godfrey ( Morgan Woodward ) , whose eyes are always covered by a pair of mirrored sunglasses. Carr ( Clifton James ) the floorwalker , tells the rules to the new set of prisoners , with any violations resulting in spending the night in `` the box , '' a small square room with limited air and very little room to move . Luke refuses to observe the established pecking order among the prisoners and quickly runs afoul of the prisoners ' leader , Dragline ( George Kennedy ) . When the pair have a boxing match , the prisoners and guards watch with interest . Although Luke is severely outmatched by his larger opponent , he refuses to acquiesce . Eventually , Dragline refuses to continue the fight . Luke 's tenacity earns the prisoners ' respect and draws the attention of the guards . Later , Luke wins a poker game by bluffing with a hand worth nothing . Luke comments that `` sometimes , nothing can be a real cool hand '' , prompting Dragline to nickname him `` Cool Hand Luke '' . Luke and the chain gang finish paving the road After a visit from his sick mother , Arletta ( Jo Van Fleet ) , Luke becomes more optimistic about his situation . He continually confronts the Captain and the guards , and his sense of humor and independence prove to be both contagious and inspiring to the other prisoners . Luke 's struggle for supremacy peaks when he leads a work crew in a seemingly impossible but successful effort to complete a road - paving job in less than one day . The other prisoners start to idolize him after he makes and wins a spur - of - the moment bet that he can eat fifty hard - boiled eggs in one hour . One day , Luke picks up a deadly rattlesnake from the grassy ditch and holds it up for Boss Godfrey to shoot with his rifle . Luke tosses the snake to the boss as a joke , before he hands him his walking cane . Dragline advises Luke to be more careful about his actions pertaining to the `` man with no eyes . '' A rainstorm causes everyone to prematurely end their work . Before he joins the other prisoners in the truck , Luke shouts to God , testing him . On that same evening , Luke receives a letter stating that his mother has died . The Captain , anticipating that Luke might attempt to escape in order to attend his mother 's funeral , has him locked in the box . After being released from the box , receiving word that his mother 's burial is completed and being told to forget about her , Luke is determined to escape . Under the cover of a Fourth of July celebration , he makes his initial escape attempt . He is later recaptured by local police and returned to the chain gang , but not before one of the three bloodhounds sent after him dies from heat and overexertion , including the strain of repeatedly going under the wire fences , in his attempt to trail Luke . After his capture and return , the Captain has Luke fitted with leg - irons and delivers a warning speech to the other inmates , explaining , `` What we 've got here is failure to communicate . Some men you just ca n't reach . So you get what we had here last week , which is the way he wants it . Well , he gets it . And I do n't like it any more than you men . '' A short time later , Luke escapes again by using string to shake a bush and deceive the guards about his location while taking a urination break behind said bush , afterwards visiting a nearby house where he uses an axe to remove his shackles . To keep the guard dogs from following his scent , he spreads curry powder and chili powder across the ground to send them into sneezing fits and overload their sensitive sense of smell . While free , Luke mails Dragline a magazine that includes a photograph of him with two beautiful women . He is soon recaptured , beaten , returned to the prison camp , and fitted with two sets of leg irons . Luke is warned by the Captain that if he ever attempts to escape again , he will be killed on the spot . Luke is now annoyed by the other prisoners fawning over the magazine photo and reveals it to be a fake . At first , the other prisoners are angry , but after a long stay in the box , when Luke is punished by being forced to eat a massive serving of rice , they come to help him finish it . As further punishment for his escape , he is forced to repeatedly dig a grave - sized hole in the prison camp yard , fill it back in , and then be beaten . The prisoners observe his persecution , singing spirituals . Finally , as the other prisoners watch from the windows of the bunkhouse , an exhausted Luke collapses in the hole , begging God for mercy and pleads with the bosses not to hit him again . Believing Luke is finally broken , the Captain stops the punishment . Boss Paul warns Luke that he will be killed if ever he runs away again , which Luke promises in tears not to do . The prisoners begin to lose their idealized image of Luke , and one tears up the photograph of Luke with the women . Luke defies the authorities for the last time Seemingly broken , and again working on the chain gang , Luke stops working to give water to a prisoner . Watched by the disappointed prisoners , he runs to one of the trucks to take Boss Godfrey 's rifle to him . After Boss Godfrey shoots a snapping turtle , Luke retrieves it from a slough for him , complimenting the boss for his shot . Luke takes one last stab at freedom when he is ordered to take the turtle to the truck . He steals the dump truck , as well as the keys to the other trucks . In the excitement of the moment , Dragline jumps in the dump truck and joins Luke in his escape . Later , after abandoning the truck , Luke tells Dragline that they should part ways . Dragline reluctantly agrees and leaves . Luke enters a church , where he talks to God and blames Him for sabotaging him so he can not win in life . Moments later , police cars arrive . Dragline walks in and tells Luke that the police and bosses have promised not to hurt Luke if he surrenders peacefully . But Luke , feeling that his life is no longer worth living , walks to and opens a door facing the police and mocks the Captain by repeating the first part of his speech ( `` What we 've got here is a failure to communicate . '' ) . He is immediately shot in the neck by Boss Godfrey . Dragline carries Luke outside , then charges at Boss Godfrey and attempts to strangle him until he is beaten and subdued by the other guards . In tears , Dragline implores Luke to live . The local police want to take Luke to a nearby hospital , but the Captain tells them to take him to the prison hospital instead , a long enough distance that Luke 's chances of survival are slim . As the Captain 's car drives away , it crushes Boss Godfrey 's glasses . After Luke 's implied death , Dragline and the other prisoners reminisce about him . In the final scene , the prison crew is seen working near a rural intersection close to where Luke was shot . Dragline is now wearing leg irons , and there is a new Walking Boss . As the camera zooms out , the torn photograph of Luke grinning with the two women is superimposed on a bird 's eye view of the cross-shaped road junction . Cast ( edit ) Paul Newman as Lucas `` Luke '' Jackson George Kennedy as Dragline Strother Martin as the Captain Jo Van Fleet as Luke 's mother , Arletta Joy Harmon as The Girl ( Lucille ) Morgan Woodward as Boss Godfrey Luke Askew as Boss Paul Robert Donner as Boss Shorty Clifton James as Carr John McLiam as Boss Keen Andre Trottier as Boss Popler Charles Tyner as Boss Higgins J.D. Cannon as Society Red Lou Antonio as Koko Robert Drivas as Loudmouth Steve Marc Cavell as Rabbitt Richard Davalos as Blind Dick Warren Finnerty as Tattoo Dennis Hopper as Babalugats Wayne Rogers as Gambler Harry Dean Stanton as Tramp Ralph Waite as Alibi Anthony Zerbe as Dog Boy Buck Kartalian as Dynamite Joe Don Baker as Fixer ( uncredited ) Production ( edit ) Script ( edit ) Pearce , a merchant seaman who later became a counterfeiter and safe cracker , wrote the novel Cool Hand Luke , about his experiences working on a chain gang while serving in a Florida prison . He sold the story to Warner Bros. for US $80,000 and received another US $15,000 to write the screenplay . After working in television for over a decade , Rosenberg chose it to make it his directorial debut in cinema . He took the idea to Jalem Productions , owned by Jack Lemmon . Since Pearce had no experience writing screenplays , his draft was reworked by Frank Pierson . Conrad Hall was hired as the cinematographer , while Paul Newman 's brother , Arthur , was hired as the unit production manager . Newman 's biographer Marie Edelman Borden states that the `` tough , honest '' script drew together threads from earlier movies , especially Hombre , Newman 's earlier film of 1967 . Director Stuart Rosenberg altered the original ending in the script , adding `` an upbeat ending that would reprise the protagonist 's ( and Paul Newman 's ) trademark smile . '' Casting ( edit ) Paul Newman 's character , Luke , is a decorated war veteran who is sentenced to serve two years in a Florida rural prison . He constantly defies the authorities of the facility , becoming a leader among the prisoners , as well as escaping multiple times . While the script was being developed , the leading role was initially considered for Jack Lemmon or Telly Savalas . Newman asked to play the leading role after hearing about the project . In order to develop his character , he traveled to West Virginia , where he recorded local accents and surveyed people 's behavior . George Kennedy turned in an Academy Award - winning performance as the leader of the prisoners , Dragline , who fights Luke , and comes to respect him . During the nomination process , worried about the box office success of Camelot and Bonnie and Clyde , Kennedy invested US $5,000 in trade advertising to promote himself . Kennedy later stated that thanks to the award his salary was `` multiplied by ten the minute ( he ) won , '' also adding `` the happiest part was that I did n't have to play only villains anymore . '' Strother Martin , known for his appearances in westerns , was cast as the Captain , a prison warden who is depicted as a cruel and insensitive leader , severely punishing Luke for his escapes . The role of Luke 's dying mother , Arletta , who visits him in prison , was passed to Jo Van Fleet after it was rejected by Bette Davis . Morgan Woodward was cast as Boss Godfrey , a laconic , cruel and remorseless prison officer who Woodward described as a `` walking Mephistopheles . '' He was dubbed `` the man with no eyes '' by the inmates for his mirrored sunglasses . The blonde Joy Harmon was cast for the scene where she teases the prisoners in washing her car after her manager , Leon Lance , contacted the producers . She auditioned in front of Rosenberg and Newman wearing a bikini , without speaking . Filming ( edit ) Filming took place on the San Joaquin River Delta . The set , imitating a southern prison farm , was built in Stockton , California . The filmmakers sent a crew to Tavares Road Prison in Tavares , Florida to take photographs and measurements , where Pearce had served his time . The structures that were built in Stockton included barracks , a mess hall , the warden 's quarters , a guard shack and dog kennels . The trees on the set were decorated with spanish moss that the producers took to the area . The construction soon attracted the attention of a county building inspector who confused it with migrant worker housing and ordered it `` condemned for code violations . '' The opening scene where Newman cuts the parking meters was filmed in Lodi , California . Meanwhile , the scene in which Luke is chased by bloodhounds and other exteriors were shot in Jacksonville , Florida , at Callahan Road Prison . Luke was played by a stunt actor , using dogs from the Florida Department of Corrections . Rosenberg wanted the cast to internalize life on a chain gang and banned the presence of wives on set . After Joy Harmon arrived on location , she remained for two days in her hotel room , and was n't seen by the rest of the cast until shooting commenced . Despite the directors ' intentions , the scene was ultimately filmed separately . Rosenberg instructed an unaware Harmon of the different movements and expressions he wanted . Originally planned to be shot in half a day , Harmon 's scene took three . For the part of the scene featuring the chain gang , Rosenberg substituted a teenage cheerleader , who wore an overcoat . Soundtrack ( edit ) Main article : Cool Hand Luke ( soundtrack ) The Academy Award nominated original score was composed by Lalo Schifrin , who created tunes with a background in popular music and jazz . While some of the tracks include the use of guitars , banjos and harmonicas , others include trumpets , violins , flutes and piano . An edited version of the musical cue from the Tar Sequence ( where the inmates are energetically paving the road ) has been used for years as the theme music for local television stations ' news programs around the world , mostly those owned and operated by ABC in the United States . Although the music was written for the film , it became more familiar for its association with television news , in part because its staccato melody resembles the sound of a telegraph . Themes ( edit ) Christian imagery ( edit ) Pierson included in his draft explicit religious symbolism . The film contains several elements based on Christian themes , including the concept of Luke as a Saint who wins over the crowds and is ultimately sacrificed . Newman 's character of Luke is portrayed as a `` Jesus - like redeemer figure . '' After winning the egg - eating bet , Luke lies exhausted on the table in the position of Jesus as depicted on his crucifixion . After learning about the death of his mother , Luke sings `` Plastic Jesus . '' Greg Garrett also compares Luke to Jesus , in that like Jesus , he was not physically threatening to society because of his actions , and like Jesus ' crucifixion , his punishment was `` out of all proportion . '' Luke challenges God during the rainstorm on the road , telling him to do anything to him . Later , while he is digging and filling trenches and confronted by the guards , an inmate performs the spiritual `` No Grave Gonna Keep my Body Down . '' Toward the end of the film , Luke speaks to God , evoking the conversation between God and Jesus at the Garden of Gethsemane , depicted in the Gospel of Luke . Following Luke 's talk , the film depicts Dragline as a Judas , who delivers Luke to the authorities , trying to convince him to surrender . In the final scene , Dragline eulogizes Luke . He explains that despite Luke 's death , his actions succeeded in defeating the system . The closing shot shows inmates working on crossroads with the repaired photo of Luke and the two women superimposed . Use of traffic signs and signals ( edit ) Different traffic signs are used throughout the film , complementing the actions of the characters during the scenes . At the beginning , while Luke cuts the heads off the parking meters , the word `` Violation '' appears . Stop signs are also seen . Instances include the road - paving scene and the last scene , where the road meets at a cross section . Traffic lights turn from green to red in the background at the time Luke is arrested , while at the end , when he is fatally wounded , a green light in the background turns to red . `` Failure to communicate '' ( edit ) After beating Luke to the ground , the Captain delivers the statement . What we 've got here is failure to communicate . Some men you just ca n't reach . So you get what we had here last week . Which is the way he wants it . Well , he gets it . And I do n't like it any more than you men . After writing the line , Pierson worried that the phrase was too complex for the warden . To explain its origin , he created a backstory that was included in the stage directions . Pierson explained that in order to advance in the Florida prison system , officers had to take criminology and penology courses at the state university , showing how the warden might know such words . Strother Martin later clarified that he felt the line was the kind that his character would very likely have heard or read from some `` pointy - headed intellectuals '' who had begun to infiltrate his character 's world under the general rubric of a new , enlightened approach to incarceration . Some authors believe that the quotation was a metaphor for the ongoing Vietnam War conflict which was taking place during the filming , and others have applied it towards corporations and even teenagers . The quotation was listed at number 11 on the American Film Institute 's list of the 100 most memorable movie lines . An audio sample of the line is included in the Guns N ' Roses songs `` Civil War '' and `` Madagascar . '' Release and reception ( edit ) Cool Hand Luke opened on November 1 , 1967 at Loew 's State Theatre in New York City . The proceeds of the premiere went to charities . The film became a box - office success , grossing US $16,217,773 in domestic screenings . Kennedy won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor . Newman was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor , while Pearce and Pierson were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay and Schiffrin was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Score . Rosenberg was nominated for best director by the Writers Guild of America and Conrad Hall was nominated for best cinematography by the National Society of Film Critics . Variety described Newman 's performance as `` excellent , '' noting the supporting cast as `` versatile and competent . '' The New York Times praised the film , remarking that Pearce and Pierson 's `` sharp script , '' Rosenberg 's `` ruthlessly realistic and plausible '' staging and direction and Newman 's `` splendid '' performance with an `` unfaultable '' cast , `` elevates '' it among other prison films . Rotten Tomatoes , a review aggregation website , gives the film a score of 100 % based on reviews from 47 critics -- an average of 8.8 out of 10 . Its critical consensus states , `` Though hampered by Stuart Rosenberg 's direction , Cool Hand Luke is held aloft by a stellar script and one of Paul Newman 's most indelible performances . '' Empire rated it five stars out of five , declaring the movie one of Newman 's best performances . Slant rated the film three stars out of four . It described Newman 's role as `` iconic , '' also praising its cinematography and sound score . Allmovie praised Newman 's performance as `` one of the most indelible anti-authoritarian heroes in movie history . '' The Paul Newman smile , the reason why the movie works according to Roger Ebert Critic Roger Ebert included the film in his review collection The Great Movies , rating it four stars out of four . Ebert stated that it was a `` great '' film and also an anti-establishment one during the time of the Vietnam War . He believed that the film was a product of its time and that no major film company would be interested in producing a film of such `` physical punishment , psychological cruelty , hopelessness and equal parts of sadism and masochism '' today . He praised the cinematography , capturing the `` punishing heat '' of the location , and stated that `` the physical presence of Paul Newman is the reason this movie works : The smile , the innocent blue eyes , the lack of strutting , '' which no other actor could have produced as effectively . Contrary to the general consensus , Newman 's biographer Lawrence J. Quirk thought that it was one of Newman 's weaker performances , stating `` For once , even Newman 's famed charisma fails him , for in Cool Hand Luke he completely lacks the charm that , say , Al Pacino in Scarecrow effortlessly exhibits when he plays a screw - up who also winds up ( briefly ) incarcerated . '' However , Quirk added that Newman 's performance was stronger in the second half and said that `` to be fair to Newman , he was trying his damnedest to play an impossible part , since Luke is a convict 's rationalization fantasy and never a real character . '' Some authors have criticized the film 's depiction of prison life at the time . In a review entitled `` Sheer Beauty in the Wrong Place , '' Life , while praising the film 's photography , criticized the influence of the visual styles in the depictions of the prison camp . The magazine declared that the landscapes turned it into `` a rest camp ( in which ) the men are getting plenty of sleep , food and healthy outdoor exercise , '' that despite the presence of the guards showed that there were `` worse ways to pay one 's debt with society . '' Ron Clooney also remarked that prisons `` were not hotels and certainly not the stuff of Cool Hand Luke movies . '' Legacy ( edit ) In 2003 , AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Heroes & Villains rated Luke as the number 30 greatest hero in American cinema , and three years later , AFI 's 100 Years ... 100 Cheers : America 's Most Inspiring Movies rated Cool Hand Luke number 71 . In 2006 , Luke was ranked 53rd in Empire magazine 's `` The 100 Greatest Movie Characters . '' The movie solidified Newman 's status as a box - office star , while the film is considered a touchstone of the era . The film was an inductee of the 2005 National Film Registry list . The book was adapted into a West End play by Emma Reeves . It opened at London 's Aldwych Theatre starring Marc Warren , but closed after less than two months , following poor reviews . The show was chosen by The Times both as `` Critic 's Choice '' and `` What the Critics Would Pay To See . '' An episode of the TV show The Dukes of Hazzard entitled `` Cool Hands Luke and Bo '' was shown with Morgan Woodward playing `` Colonel Cassius Claiborne '' the boss of a neighboring county and warden of its prison farm . He wears the trademark shades of Boss Godfrey throughout the episode . Nashville - based Christian alternative rock band Cool Hand Luke is named after the film .

They often gather to enjoy a meal and discuss their issues at `` The Island Diner '' . History ( edit ) The show was heavily promoted by CBS during Super Bowl XLI and launched the following night , the first of seven episodes in its first season . The pilot episode remains the highest rated episode of the show . The series was renewed for a second season , which began as a mid-season replacement for The New Adventures of Old Christine on Monday , September 24 , 2007 , with production halted after nine episodes on November 6 , 2007 , in the wake of a writers ' strike . After the strike ended , CBS announced that the show would return April 14 , 2008 , with a further six episodes . Seasons three and four were both mid-season entries launched in March 2009 and March 2010 . On May 18 , 2010 , it was announced that CBS had renewed Rules of Engagement for a 5th season . It was later announced that this season would start in September , in contrast to its usual midseason start , and received an expanded 24 - episode order . ( The fifth season was the first and only season to have a full - season order . ) The first 15 episodes aired on Monday nights , usually in the 8 : 30 pm Eastern / 7 : 30 pm Central time slot following How I Met Your Mother . Then on February 24 , 2011 , the series moved to Thursdays at 8 : 30 pm Eastern / 7 : 30 pm Central , following The Big Bang Theory , after the cancellation of $ h * ! My Dad Says . On January 31 , 2011 , CBS ordered an additional two episodes of the series to prepare for the possibility of Two and a Half Men going into hiatus following Charlie Sheen 's real - life issues , taking the episode order to 26 . Two of these episodes were held back and aired as part of the sixth season . On May 17 , 2011 , the series was renewed for a sixth season to begin airing in fall 2011 . One day later , CBS announced that Rules of Engagement would move to Saturday nights at 8 : 00 pm Eastern / 7 : 00 pm Central as part of the network 's new Comedytime Saturday block ; the first time in six years that an original CBS program would air on that night . It also marked the fourth night on which the series would air , with it previously airing on Mondays , Wednesdays ( two airings ) , and Thursdays . On October 7 , 2011 , however , it was announced that Rules of Engagement would move back to its 8 : 30PM EST Thursday timeslot following The Big Bang Theory , replacing new sitcom How to Be a Gentleman which was moved to the new Saturday time slot . The episode order was cut from the original 18 , down to 13 ( plus two unaired episodes from season five ) on November 14 , 2011 . Effective January 12 , 2012 , CBS removed Rules of Engagement from its Thursday lineup , replacing it with the new sitcom Rob starring Rob Schneider . Rules would return to its Thursday 8 : 30 PM time slot on March 29 , after Rob had finished airing its 8 - episode order , resulting in a total of 15 episodes in season 6 . On May 21 , 2012 , CBS renewed Rules of Engagement for a seventh season of 13 episodes to air mid-season , bringing the total number of produced episodes to 100 . Season 7 began airing on Mondays at 8 : 30 , starting February 4 , 2013 . On May 10 , 2013 , Rules of Engagement was cancelled by CBS after seven seasons and 100 episodes . The series finale episode aired on May 20 , 2013 . Cast and characters ( edit ) Main characters ( edit ) Patrick Warburton as Jeff Bingham , a financial manager and husband of Audrey since August 12 , 1995 . He has a rather deadpan , cold and sardonic personality and sense of self , particularly when dealing with Russell and Adam , but he is not sadistic nor unkind , thereby rendering these traits as merely ironic and biting humor . He loves sports ( NY Giants , NY Mets , NY Rangers , NY Knicks ) , shuns anything that might resemble sensitivity and often views his marriage as a competition , refusing to let Audrey `` win '' the upper hand at anything . He frequently complains about Audrey 's work stories being boring , often forgets plans they have made or tasks she has asked him to complete and , on many occasions , embarrasses her publicly . He is also very frugal and extremely careful with his money -- to the extent where he will buy socks in New Jersey to avoid paying additional tax on them -- and tries to discourage Audrey from overspending while planning for their future . He often reminisces about his college days at Syracuse . Megyn Price as Audrey Bingham ( née Curtis ) , formerly from Lincoln , Nebraska , an editor at Indoor Living magazine ( before later resigning ) and the assertive , modern wife of Jeff . She likes to do things on spur of the moment , such as when she buys furniture on the Internet or makes Jeff 's shirts into a quilt . She tolerates her husband 's insensitivity because she knows he is not malicious and will do whatever it takes to make the situation right once he realizes his mistake . As a couple , they both can be very condescending and manipulative towards each other , in order to gain the upper hand , and typically do n't like to concede to the other that they were wrong , for example when they both repeatedly lied about their whereabouts during a weekend when Audrey 's aunt was supposed to visit but fell ill . They , however , often recognize where both were wrong and apologize . Audrey does not make fun of her friends as much as her friends make fun of each other , but she will frequently save her most - biting criticisms for Russell . She often insists that she is a `` people person '' , but her attempts to prove it usually result in embarrassment , such as having a co-worker lodge a sexual harassment complaint against her . Audrey likes to think of herself as kind , cultured and smarter than her friends . She desperately wants to be liked by persons and / or impress them , but her attempts at being charitable and sociable often end in her becoming frustrated , either as a result of her own awkwardness or due to Jeff 's manners . She and Jeff had a baby , Shea , via a surrogate , Brenda , after Audrey assumed she could never get pregnant , only to discover in the series finale that she is in fact pregnant with Jeff 's child . Oliver Hudson as Adam Rhodes , a sensitive and well - meaning -- but extremely naive -- co-worker of Russell and Timmy , and Jennifer 's fiancé throughout the series until they are married in the series finale . He is a neighbor of Jeff and Audrey , looks up to Jeff , and often acts on Jeff 's relationship advice ( which is hardened by years of marriage ) to attempt to receive more frequent sexual relations with Jennifer . This usually results in making the situation worse for himself . As an example , he once revealed to Jennifer his strategies for avoiding her bad moods , because he was proud that Jeff considered them to be a good idea . Oftentimes because of his childlike naivete ( almost borderline stupidity ) , people find it hard to explain things to him . He can not keep secrets and rarely thinks before he speaks . Adam frequently exhibits feminine or flamboyant behavior and characteristics , which make him the target of many barbs from Jeff and Russell regarding his homosexual tendencies . It is to be noted that Adam , initially , was simply a smooth , charming guy who was a bit naive but over the course of the series , noticeably after Season 2 , the writers opted to `` dumb - down '' his character turning him from naive and sweet to borderline moronic and dim - witted . Bianca Kajlich as Jennifer Morgan , the charismatic live - in fiancée and eventual wife of Adam , who endures his faults because of his good looks and underlying good nature . She is very self - conscious of his naivete , and will often try to spare him from embarrassment . She also has a need for thrills and can easily manipulate Adam into doing whatever she wants , but often feels guilty about it afterward . She was openly promiscuous in her past and is often referred to by Jeff , Russell and even Adam as being `` easy '' and always `` good to go '' . Her love for sex means Adam rarely has to `` work for it '' , a fact that Adam enjoys and the guys envy . Jennifer did , however , attempt to fabricate a clichéd love story of how she and Adam met , due to being slightly embarrassed when Adam continually boasts that they slept together on their first date . She and Adam are often naive about their relationship as they typically assume they wo n't end up bickering like Jeff & Audrey , who often laugh at them for being so clueless & optimistic , and they think will be able to agree on everything . However , despite their best efforts , this often backfires specifically when they tried working together , cutting back on expenses or when they got into a big fight while trying to plan their entire future during a weekend getaway . David Spade as Russell Dunbar , an acerbic , womanizing single friend of the main characters and boss of Adam and Timmy . Russell is fast - talking , and is an eternal optimist when it comes to women , often ignoring multiple sexual harassment lawsuits leveled against him in the pursuit of sex . He is also an incompetent manager at his father 's real estate and development business , Dunbar Industries . If left to his own devices and forced to fend for himself without assistance ( e.g. , from Timmy ) he would completely destroy his office in minutes . He is often mocked because of his height ( especially by Jeff ) , choice of wardrobe , and his penchant for prostitutes and young women with `` daddy '' issues . He also frequently uses his wealth to lure women and do whatever he wants . In the Season 6 episode `` Audrey 's Shower '' , Russell takes a break from women and starts to display many creative talents . It is revealed in a flashback that he was an intelligent child and a musical prodigy , until he saw his piano teacher 's cleavage and wound up taking a different path in life . His favorite expression , spoken in a high - pitched voice after incredulous questions about his doing something outrageous , is : `` I kinda did '' . In the series finale , Russell proposes to Timmy and marries him in order to help Timmy avoid deportation . Adhir Kalyan as Timir `` Timmy '' Patel ( recurring Season 3 ; regular cast from Seasons 4 -- 7 ) , whom Russell hires as his assistant . He is a mild - mannered man with a quick wit , often matching Russell 's jabs in their verbal sparring . Although he is fluent in seven languages and holds an MBA from Oxford University , Timmy is often forced to do menial work or to solve Russell 's trivial problems . While many of Russell 's schemes disgust him , Timmy will often see them through so that he can enjoy Russell 's come - uppance . He plays cricket and is also an avid fan of the Boston Bruins . In the series finale , Timmy 's work visa expires and he faces deportation . In an uncharacteristic act of selflessness , Russell sets aside his womanizing ways to marry Timmy so he can stay in the country . This brought criticism , however , due to the fact that it had already been established in Season 5 that Timmy had been a US citizen for over 10 years which he revealed when Russell wanted to throw him a `` Citizenship Party '' . This was n't the first time there had been an inconsistent discrepancy with Timir 's background as he tells his then - girlfriend , Allison , in the episode `` Play Ball '' , that he was an only child yet in the following season , in the episode `` The Set - Up '' , it is revealed that he has a sister , Simran , who is currently living in Chicago . Major recurring characters ( edit ) Diane Sellers as Doreen , waitress at The Island Diner . Wendi McLendon - Covey as Liz , an unlikeable , annoying , unattractive neighbor and friend of Audrey 's who lives directly upstairs from the Binghams ; for a brief story arc in Season 6 she was married to Russell , but they later separated . In Season 7 , Episode 7 , she admitted to Russell that she is a sex addict and that she cheated on him multiple times ( with multiple partners ) during their brief marriage . Sara Rue as Brenda , Jeff 's lesbian softball teammate who agrees to be a surrogate mother for Audrey and Jeff . Nazneen Contractor as Suneetha , Timmy 's fiancée in an arranged marriage , who becomes an object of Russell 's affections . Susan Yeagley as Tracy , a man - hungry co-worker of Audrey 's . Beth Littleford as Laura , another man - hungry co-worker of Audrey 's . Taryn Southern as Allison , the object of Timmy 's affections , which blossoms into an intra-office romance , then ends when she moves away and breaks up with Timmy . Geoff Pierson as Franklin Dunbar , Russell 's wealthy , lecherous father . Orlando Jones as Brad , Jeff 's gay friend from his gym who eventually makes friends with the rest of the gang .
