This role requires strong improv ability, grounded real-person energy, and the ability to bring believable emotional nuance to reenactments.

Character Overview: Winter is anxious, edgy, and insecure—someone who avoids confrontation until she’s pushed past her limit. She’s financially dependent on her boyfriend and may feel judged for it, making her extra sensitive to public embarrassment.

Role: Plaintiff — Sean Maddox (Male, 28, White)
Sean Maddox is suing his brother Jordan after their shared childhood bunk bed collapsed during a chaotic night in their home. Sean claims Jordan’s aggressive make-out session and heavy shaking on the top bunk caused the collapse, ruining Sean’s own date downstairs and destroying both the bed and what Sean sees as his “shot at romance.”

We are casting featured participants to portray individuals involved in a real small-claims case for the unscripted TV series Equal Justice with Judge Eboni K. Williams. This role requires strong improv ability, grounded real-person energy, and the ability to bring believable emotional nuance to reenactments.

Character Overview: Sean is a sentimental, overly dramatic substitute teacher who treats the bunk bed like a sacred childhood monument. He truly believes “some things are more than furniture — they’re memories,” and he’s emotionally defensive when people dismiss that. Verbally expressive and easily wounded, Sean is still haunted by childhood bunk-bed dynamics and sees Jordan as someone who never respected history, feelings, or “proper bunk etiquette.” He’s the type to insist two things were destroyed at once: his emotional moment and the bed.
Requirements:

• Strong improv ability with natural, grounded delivery

• Comfortable portraying high emotion and big opinions without going cartoonish

• Able to balance humor with sincerity (dramatic, but still believable)

• Strong reactive listening for rapid-fire sibling arguing and interruptions

• Comfortable playing defensiveness, wounded pride, and romantic humiliation
  Compensation:

• $20 per hour

Role: Defendant — Jordan Maddox (Male, 31, White)
Sean Maddox claims Jordan’s aggressive make-out session on the top bunk caused their childhood bunk bed to collapse. Jordan argues the real problem was Sean’s hysterical laughing, kicking, and emotional flailing on the bottom bunk—and that Sean’s bad repairs and sentimental obsession turned a piece of furniture into a disaster waiting to happen.

This role requires strong improv ability, grounded real-person energy, and the ability to bring believable emotional nuance to reenactments.

Character Overview: Jordan is a sarcastic, practical security guard who lives by one rule: “It wasn’t broken until Sean fixed it.” He thinks Sean is dramatic, delusional, and dangerously sentimental—and believes a bunk bed was never meant for grown men, especially not for “cinematic date night moments.” Confident, dismissive, slightly arrogant, and fully convinced he’s the responsible brother, Jordan leans on logic, common sense, and blame-shifting back toward Sean’s behavior and repair attempts.
Requirements:

• Strong improv ability with quick, natural back-and-forth

• Comfortable playing sarcasm, confidence, and dismissiveness while staying grounded

• Able to deliver blame-shifting arguments clearly without losing composure

• Strong reactive listening for sibling conflict and courtroom-style questioning

• Can balance humor with believable emotional stakes (annoyed, defensive, stubborn)
  Compensation:

• $20 per hour

This role requires strong improv ability, grounded real-person energy, and the ability to bring believable emotional nuance to reenactments.

Character Overview: Cynthia is an eccentric landlord in her 50s who insists she’s 30—equal parts Californian hippie and Type-A control freak. She’s quirky, confident, and intensely particular about her property. Cynthia may come off charmingly odd one moment and rigidly defensive the next, especially if she feels challenged. She frames herself as the responsible owner protecting her home, not a landlord taking advantage of a tenant.
Requirements:

• Strong improv ability with a distinctive, grounded character presence

• Comfortable playing eccentric charm paired with Type-A control

• Able to deliver detailed “damage” explanations convincingly and consistently

• Strong reactive listening; can stay composed when called out or questioned

Character Overview: Gina is bubbly, kind, and intelligent, with a strong moral code. She’s the type who believes in fairness, honesty, and doing things properly—so being told she “damaged the place” feels like an accusation against her character.

• Able to portray warm, friendly energy that turns into firm moral conviction

• Comfortable playing frustration and disbelief without becoming overly aggressive

• Strong reactive listening for detailed back-and-forth about “damages” and fairness
