Job Description
A new Netflix series, Little House on the Prairie, is casting the role of Myron — an Indigenous male character from the Osage Nation, in his early 20s. Myron is a spirited, rebellious, and clever youth with a strong personality and a knack for stirring things up. This role explores the complexities of a young man driven by both personal anger and the societal pressures around him. No previous acting experience is required for this paid opportunity.

Character Overview – Myron
Myron is a 19th-century version of a disaffected youth — full of justifiable anger and a desire to push limits. He expresses his emotions through pranks, bravado, and occasional recklessness. While his actions might seem provocative, they stem from deep feelings of frustration, boredom, and the search for meaning and expression. This character requires authenticity, strong presence, and emotional depth.

Job Responsibilities

• Portray the role of Myron authentically and with emotional range

• Participate in filming on location in Winnipeg, Canada

• Work collaboratively with directors and cast on an immersive period series

• Adapt to direction and be available for all shoot dates as required

Requirements

• Indigenous Male of the Osage Nation

• Age: Early 20s

• Must be available from June to October 2025

• Must be able to travel and stay in Winnipeg (travel and accommodations provided)

• No acting experience necessary, but authenticity and strong character presence are essential

• Submit unfiltered, solo photos (no hats, sunglasses, or group shots)

• Include your location (city, state, reservation, or community)

Compensation

• Paid role

• Travel and accommodations covered

• Chance to work on a major Netflix production

Series Regular – Paula Holt in New Comedy Pilot

NBC is launching a vibrant new single-camera comedy set in a Native community center in Oakland, California, from acclaimed showrunner Sierra Teller Ornelas and the creative forces behind “Rutherford Falls” and “Reservation Dogs.” This project celebrates authentic stories, sharp humor, and diverse Native representation in television.

NBC Shines a Light on Native Community and Representation
This comedy pilot focuses on the dedicated staff at a Native community center, juggling daily challenges while uplifting those around them. The series is led by industry trailblazers committed to bringing real voices and unique perspectives to the screen, making this a prime opportunity for Indigenous actors to shine.

Meet the Visionary Creative Team

• Sierra Teller Ornelas (Showrunner, Executive Producer): Groundbreaking creator of “Rutherford Falls,” with credits on “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “Superstore,” and more.

• Jackie Keliiaa (Executive Producer, Writer): Celebrated stand-up comedian, writer, and voice actor, championing Native talent in comedy.

• Bobby Wilson (Executive Producer, Writer, Actor): Noted for “Reservation Dogs” and Marvel’s “Echo,” infusing comedy with cultural insight.

• Morgan Sackett (Executive Producer): Brings expertise from multiple acclaimed comedies.

Why This Project Stands Out
As the industry embraces more inclusive and diverse storytelling, NBC’s new pilot offers an exceptional opportunity for Indigenous actors and creatives to take center stage and shape authentic television narratives.

• Portray Paula’s nurturing, witty, and sometimes superstitious personality
