Role: Defendant — Jackson Rivera (Male, 40s, Any Race)
Howard Rapherty is suing Jackson Rivera DBA “Rivera Hauling Co.” for $1,200, claiming a toolbox fell out of a company truck and damaged Howard’s BBQ equipment. Jackson denies liability, stating loads are always secured, no driver reported an incident that day, and there’s no direct video of the toolbox leaving the truck bed. He also points to GPS logs showing multiple company trucks on the street, but none stopping or behaving unusually.

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: Jackson is a by-the-book hauling company owner—disciplined, professional, and protective of his business reputation. He’s married with two children and runs operations tightly, so he views this claim as either mistaken identity or a leap without proof. Jackson is calm, methodical, and firm, leaning on systems (securement policy, driver reports, GPS logs) rather than emotion, and he refuses to pay on assumption alone.
Requirements:

• Strong improv ability with composed, grounded delivery

• Comfortable portraying “by-the-book” business owner authority

• Able to explain procedures, logs, and lack of direct evidence clearly

• Strong reactive listening; can stay calm under accusation and frustration

• Natural performance that balances professionalism with reputational concern
  Compensation:

• $20 per hour

He’s responsible, routine-driven, and values fairness—so a random, chaotic incident like this feels like a violation of basic rules and accountability.

Requirements:

• Strong improv ability with natural, grounded delivery

• Comfortable portraying practical “dad” energy with controlled annoyance

• Able to explain the incident and damages clearly and consistently

• Strong reactive listening when questioned about proof and identification

Character Overview: Caleb is feisty and rambunctious—high energy, curious, and easily bored. He may feel defensive, embarrassed, or confused about being “the reason” adults are fighting.
