Alexander Carter Jr.’s family is in conflict with their neighbor, Lynn Mendoza, after a weeping willow tree on their property was allegedly poisoned. As Alexander’s 10-year-old son, the child witness can speak to the tree’s meaning in the family, what he observed about the neighborhood tension, and how the damage affected home life.

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: A gentle, observant kid who feels the stress between adults and wants things to be okay again. He may be loyal to his dad, sad about the tree, and confused about why neighbors can’t get along. His role is heartfelt and grounded—showing the emotional impact on a family rather than arguing technical details.
Requirements:

• Child performer who can take gentle direction and remain natural on camera

• Comfortable with light improv/reactive answers in a controlled setting

• Able to convey sincerity, concern, and family attachment authentically

• Must be accompanied by parent/guardian as required for minors

Role: Defendant — Lynn Mendoza (Female, 52, Filipino-American)
Alexander Carter Jr. claims Lynn Mendoza intentionally poisoned his weeping willow tree, causing costly damage and restoration expenses. Lynn argues the tree encroached onto her property and created excessive leaves and debris she constantly had to clean up, causing more harm than good. She also denies the accusation and states Alexander has no evidence she poisoned the tree.

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

Character Overview: Lynn is a 52-year-old single Filipino-American HR Coordinator whose job title contrasts with her difficult interpersonal style. She’s bossy, guarded, and has a know-it-all edge—often coming off unfriendly and hard to work with. Underneath is a highly neurotic, easily triggered temperament. After her father passed, she moved in with her mother three years ago, and her patience is thin—especially about what she sees as property issues and boundaries. Lynn frames herself as the practical neighbor dealing with constant mess and damage, not a villain poisoning a tree.
Requirements:

• Strong improv ability with sharp, grounded presence

• Comfortable portraying bossy/neurotic energy without becoming a caricature

• Able to deliver defensiveness and “property rights” arguments clearly

• Strong reactive listening; can handle accusations and stay composed (or believably bristle)

Role: Plaintiff — Alexander Carter Jr. (Male, 38, Any Race)
Alexander Carter Jr. is suing his next-door neighbor, Lynn Mendoza, claiming she intentionally poisoned his weeping willow tree—an heirloom with deep family history and sentimental value. Alexander says Lynn’s malicious actions caused significant damage and forced him to pay costly restoration expenses to try to save the tree.

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.
