Role: Plaintiff — Savannah Jordan (Female, 19–20, Any Race)
Savannah Jordan is suing Mikayla and Casey Johnson for failing to reimburse her for expenses from taking their son to Disneyland for his birthday. Savannah claims she covered the costs expecting to be paid back, but the Johnsons refused—leaving her stuck with a bill she can’t afford as a college student.

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: Savannah is a shy, kind college student who tries to keep the peace and wants everyone to have a good time. She likely agreed to more than she should have because she didn’t want to disappoint anyone—then panicked when the costs piled up. She’s not confrontational by nature, but she’s reached a breaking point: she feels taken advantage of, embarrassed, and frustrated that her good intentions turned into a financial mess.
Requirements:

  • Strong improv ability with natural, grounded delivery

  • Able to portray shy/people-pleaser energy while still standing up for herself

  • Comfortable playing stress, embarrassment, and simmering frustration

  • Can clearly explain expenses and expectations without sounding rehearsed

  • Strong reactive listening in confrontation with older, more forceful personalities

Compensation:

  • $20 per hour

Role: Defendant — Daryl Evans (Male, 45, Any Race)
Melissa Guthrie competed in a beauty pageant directed by Daryl Evans, a longtime pageant judge in his first year as director. Melissa claims Daryl disqualified her unfairly to crown a contestant he’s been romantically linked to. Daryl argues the disqualification was valid because Melissa violated the pageant’s contract by acting in ways unbecoming of a beauty queen.

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 believable emotional nuance to bring the reenactment to life.

Character Overview: Daryl is a seasoned pageant insider who loves the world, the influence, and the proximity to contestants. Now, as a first-time director, he’s under pressure to run a clean competition—and he’s defensive about any suggestion of favoritism. Whether he’s truly principled or simply covering himself, he presents as confident, controlling, and insistent that he followed the rules.
Requirements:

  • Strong improv ability; comfortable with confrontation and fast back-and-forth dialogue

  • Able to portray authority and control (director energy) under pressure

  • Can play defensiveness, charm, and possible ulterior motives with subtlety

  • Comfortable delivering policy/contract-based explanations convincingly

  • Grounded, natural performance—no melodrama

Role: Plaintiff — Kayla Thompson (Female, Late 20s, Any Race)
Kayla Thompson is suing Ashley Patel for $5,500, claiming Ashley’s negligence caused the loss of Kayla’s wedding ring moments before the ceremony. Kayla says Ashley was careless, distracted, and possibly intoxicated while responsible for handling the ring—turning what should have been a picture-perfect moment into a disaster.

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: Kayla is newly married, detail-oriented, and deeply invested in having everything look and feel perfect—especially on her wedding day. She’s close with her family and adores her brother’s young twins, Emma and Drew, whom she wanted in the ceremony. When the ring goes missing, Kayla’s composure cracks: she feels betrayed, humiliated, and furious that someone she doesn’t fully trust was put in charge of something so important.
Requirements:

  • Strong improv ability with natural, grounded delivery

  • Able to portray high stakes emotion (panic, anger, heartbreak) without melodrama

  • Comfortable playing controlling/perfectionist energy that turns into vulnerability

  • Can deliver clear accusations while still feeling like a real person under stress

  • Strong reactive listening for courtroom-style questioning and pushback

Role: Plaintiff — Melissa Guthrie (Female, 20, Any Race)

Melissa Guthrie, a driven 20-year-old beauty queen, competed in a pageant directed by Daryl Evans. She claims Daryl unfairly disqualified her to clear the path for a contestant he’s been romantically linked to, costing Melissa her shot at the crown and staining her reputation in the pageant world.

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 believable emotional nuance to bring the reenactment to life.

Character Overview: Melissa is beauty, brains, and relentless ambition. She’s been competing since childhood and knows exactly what it takes to win—poised, polished, and strategic. Under that pageant-perfect exterior is someone fiercely competitive and deeply offended by being dismissed or disrespected. She’s convinced she was targeted, and she’s not backing down.


Requirements:

Role: Defendant — Talia Brooks (29, Any Race)

Case Summary: Talia was hired by Marcus as a professional stand-in girlfriend for a 4-hour family reunion. Marcus never disclosed the arrangement to his family, and Talia’s warm, engaging presence sold the relationship as real. Marcus claims her continued friendly responses in group chats afterward maintained the illusion and contributed to his real-life breakup and $3,500 in losses. Talia maintains she simply did her job, responded politely when contacted, and never intended to mislead anyone.

Introduction: 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 believable emotional nuance for reenactments.

Character Overview: Talia is a warm, emotionally intelligent professional companion/actress who naturally makes people feel seen and valued. She’s socially gifted—not flirtatious, just effortlessly engaging. She didn’t fall into the role—she is the role. She was never trying to lead Marcus or the family on, but people often misread her warmth as a connection.
Requirements:

  • Strong improv ability with calm, confident presence

  • Natural charisma and conversational ease

  • Can communicate warmth while maintaining clear boundaries

  • Able to play subtle frustration and firm self-advocacy without becoming harsh

  • Believable emotional restraint and professionalism

Case Summary: Marcus hired Talia as a stand-in girlfriend for a 4-hour family reunion appearance. He never told his family the relationship was staged, and Talia—warm, engaging, and professional—played the part so convincingly that the entire family believed it was real. Marcus claims that Talia continued responding warmly in group chats afterward, unintentionally maintaining the illusion. He says this lingering “fake relationship” contributed to the breakup of his real relationship and cost him $3,500 in emotional distress and trip-related losses. Talia maintains she was simply doing her job, being kind, and never intended to mislead anyone.

Role: Plaintiff — Marcus Hill (32, Any Race)

Character Overview: Marcus is a genuine, introverted IT tech who overthinks everything but still believes in romance. He’s not creepy—just socially cautious and desperately hopeful. Smart, literal, kind-hearted, and a little emotionally clueless, Marcus sees the world in cause-and-effect logic. When feelings get involved, he’s lost. Hiring a stand-in girlfriend made sense to him—until his family believed every second of it. The more he tries to explain, the worse it sounds.
Requirements:

  • Strong improv ability

  • Natural, grounded “real person” energy

  • Able to play emotional nuance (defensive, embarrassed, vulnerable)

  • Comfortable portraying awkward sincerity without becoming broad comedy

  • Able to stay composed in confrontation and hit key story beats while sounding spontaneous

How do I find a legit casting call?

To find legitimate casting calls, start by using reputable platforms like Project Casting, which vets postings to ensure authenticity. Always research the casting company or director associated with the call. Legitimate opportunities typically don’t require payment to audition, and any contact should come from professional email addresses rather than personal accounts.

Can you audition without an agent?

Yes, you can audition without an agent. Many open casting calls and online platforms allow individual actors to submit directly for roles. While having an agent can provide access to more exclusive opportunities and handle negotiations, many new actors start their careers by attending open calls or self-submitting for roles online.

What is the difference between a casting call and an audition?

A casting call is a notice put out by producers or casting directors seeking potential actors for roles, inviting them to apply or present themselves. An audition is the process where actors perform a specific piece, like a monologue or a script, in front of the casting team after responding to a casting call. Essentially, the casting call is the request, and the audition is the response.

What is the best free casting call website?

Generally, you should not pay to attend casting calls. Legitimate casting calls and auditions do not require payment from actors. If a casting call asks for money to audition or to secure a role, it is likely a scam. The standard practice is that any fees associated with the casting process are covered by the production.
