High-End US Series Open Casting Call

Role: Plaintiff — Douglas Lazenby (Male, 30s–40s, Any Race)
Douglas Lazenby is suing Simon and Kelly Robinson for breach of contract in the amount of $1,100 after they allegedly told him he could stay in their spare room while he got back on his feet following a divorce—then kicked him out without warning. Douglas says the sudden eviction forced him to move his belongings across state lines to his parents’ home and pay for a storage unit, and he wants reimbursement for those costs.

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.
Requirements:

• Strong improv ability with grounded authority and clear boundaries

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

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

• Strong reactive listening; can deliver specifics (time given, patterns, boundaries)

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. He’s the kind of roommate who thrives on friends, gatherings, and good vibes, and he’s shocked to be framed as the bad guy. 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:

• Strong improv ability with natural, grounded delivery

• Comfortable playing friendly charm that turns defensive under accusation

• Able to argue intent vs. responsibility convincingly without seeming shady

• Strong reactive listening; can respond quickly to timeline and accountability questions

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
