Winter Jones and her longtime boyfriend Elijah Butler are suing Camryn Robinson for $6,000, claiming Camryn spread their personal business at a party meant to secure endorsement and business opportunities. Winter says Camryn’s actions ruined the event, cost them endorsement deals, and publicly embarrassed them—turning a high-stakes night into a professional and personal fallout.

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: 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. As Camryn’s cousin, this betrayal cuts deeper: Winter isn’t just angry, she’s rattled, ashamed, and desperate to regain control of the narrative. She can come off shaky and defensive, but her emotions are real and high-stakes.
Requirements:

• Strong improv ability with natural, grounded delivery

• Able to portray anxiety, insecurity, and emotional overwhelm authentically

• Comfortable playing non-confrontational energy that escalates under pressure

• Strong reactive listening during tense family conflict and courtroom questioning

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.

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: 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)

Role: Defendant — Cynthia Kreppel (Female, 50s, Any Race)

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. She’ll start polite, but she can become firm and principled when she feels someone is lying, twisting facts, or exploiting tenants.
Requirements:

• Strong improv ability with natural, grounded delivery

• 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

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

Character Overview: Denise is a mother who means well but can be a little messy—big personality, emotional, and not always the most careful decision-maker. She loves her son, but their relationship is complicated and off-and-on, with unresolved tension and disappointment on both sides. Denise may try to play things off with humor or defensiveness, but underneath she wants accountability, care, and respect—especially if she feels her son embarrassed her or failed to protect her.

• Able to play pain, embarrassment, indignation, and maternal guilt realistically

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

Character Overview: Anthony is a well-put-together guy trying to stay away from his “for the streets” past, but it keeps circling back into his life and reputation. He’s frustrated and embarrassed that his mother’s injury is now a courtroom issue, especially with the implication of anything “stripper pole” related. Anthony’s defense is a mix of responsibility (he warned her) and boundaries (she did it anyway), with a quiet fear that his past will be used against him no matter what the facts are.
Requirements:

• Strong improv ability with grounded, natural delivery

• Able to portray composure under judgment, embarrassment, and frustration

• Comfortable playing a son defending boundaries against a parent

• Strong reactive listening; can stay consistent under pressure and pointed questions

Douglas Lazenby is suing Simon Robinson and Simon’s wife Kelly for $1,100, claiming they promised he could stay in their spare room after his divorce, then removed him without warning and left him with moving and storage costs. Simon supports the defense that Douglas had ample time and was taking advantage of their generosity—implying Douglas would have stayed indefinitely if allowed.

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

Character Overview: Simon is kind, overly patient, and conflict-avoidant—he struggles to say no or stand up for himself. He’s caught between loyalty to an old high school friend and loyalty to his wife and child. Simon may seem hesitant or guilt-ridden, but he ultimately wants stability at home. He’s the “soft one” who let things go too long, and now he’s trying to justify the line they finally drew.
Requirements:

• Strong improv ability with subtle, naturalistic performance

• Comfortable playing passive, apologetic energy under pressure

• Able to portray internal conflict (friendship vs family) convincingly

• Strong reactive listening; can answer tough questions without collapsing

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: Douglas is a “good guy” going through a rough chapter—recently divorced, intelligent, and genuinely kind, but also irresponsible, a little lazy, and somewhat immature. He’s fun to be around and has a sweetheart vibe, but that charm can mask avoidance and entitlement. He sees himself as betrayed by old friends, convinced he was promised stability and then humiliated with a sudden boot.
Requirements:

• Strong improv ability with natural, grounded delivery

• Able to portray a likable guy who’s still clearly messy/behind in life

• Comfortable playing heartbreak, embarrassment, and indignation authentically

• Can argue “I had an agreement” while being challenged on responsibility and effort

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

Character Overview: Kelly is no-nonsense, intelligent, and generally nice—but her patience has limits. She believes in second chances, not third and fourth, and practices “tough love” when someone refuses to change. As a wife and mother, she’s protective of her home, her boundaries, and her family’s peace. She may feel guilty for how things ended, but she’s firm that Douglas overstayed and needed a wake-up call.

• Comfortable playing impatience, fairness, and “enough is enough” energy

• Able to stay composed while being accused of cruelty or betrayal

Role: Defendant — Jason Sawyer (Male, 30s–40s, Any Race)
Emily Panelli claims her roommate Jason Sawyer threw a party at their home without her permission, and that guests at the party stole $576 worth of her property. Jason insists the party was meant as a surprise for Emily’s 40th birthday and argues that Emily allowed guests to stay—so he shouldn’t be held responsible for missing items.

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

Character Overview: Jason is upbeat, social, and well-intentioned—he genuinely believes he did something nice.

Jason leans on “intent” and shared responsibility, insisting he couldn’t control every guest and that Emily’s behavior after the party implies consent. He may be defensive, but he’s not trying to be cruel.
Requirements:

Role: Defendant — Tonya Hammons (Female, Mid–Late 40s, Any Race)
James Peterson claims Tonya Hammons owes him $1,650 connected to a graduation gift purchase. Tonya argues the demand makes no sense because James never bought their two other children expensive graduation gifts, so she believes this is unfair, inconsistent, and not an agreed-upon expense she should have to reimburse.

• Able to portray peacemaker energy while still standing firm

• Comfortable handling confrontation without getting flustered

• Strong reactive listening and clear, consistent explanation of “fairness” argument
