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.

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. These roles require strong improv ability, grounded real-person energy, and the ability to bring believable emotional nuance to reenactments.

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

Compensation:

• $20/per hour

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.
