Seeking:

1. [PATRICK]

   • Description: Man presenting, 50s-60s, White, transgender, nonbinary. Tall in stature and authoritative, Patrick is a retired, old school detective who interviews Shawn, a person with I/DD who lives in a group home. There is an allegation of neglect where a lapse in Shawn’s supervision led to him having sexual contact with another female resident. In this interview, Patrick doesn’t follow his training and treats Shawn as a perpetrator by focusing on obtaining information on the sexual act rather than in the lapse of supervision that is required for Shawn. (1 scene- 20 minutes)

2. [SHAWN (actor with I/DD)]

   • Description: Man presenting, 18-29 years who reads younger, Black or Latine, transgender, nonbinary. In scenario #1, Shawn is a person with an intellectual or developmental disability (I/DD) living at a group home who requires additional supervision. On one occasion, he was left alone which resulted in Shawn having sexual contact with another female resident. Although Shawn has a developmental disability, he understands he did something wrong as he has done this before. When interviewed by an investigator, Shawn continually asks if he will be in trouble. In scenario #3, Shawn is a resident in a secure OCFS facility where he was mistreated and is interviewed by an investigator for a physical abuse allegation. Casting is specifically seeking talent with an intellectual or developmental disability (I/DD). (2 scenes- 20 and 6 minutes)

3. [KIMBERLY]

   • Description: Woman presenting, 30s-40s, Black or Latine, transgender, nonbinary. Kimberly is a confident and street-savvy investigator who works in tough settings yet feels comfortable in all situations. In scenario #2 she interviews Roberto, a resident in an OASAS facility who was mistreated by a staff member with inappropriate photos and sexual advances. In scenario #3 she interviews Shawn, a person with I/DD who lives in a group home who was allegedly physically abused. In this interview, Kimberly fails to follow her training where her informal interviewing style leaves her with very few details about the incident. (2 scenes- 20 minutes and 6 minutes)

4. [ROBERTO]

   • Description: Gay man presenting, 20s-mid 30s, Asian or Latine, transgender, nonbinary. Roberto is a resident of an OASAS facility getting treatment for addiction. He is an intelligent gay man who is aware of his surroundings yet going through a tough time. Roberto is interviewed by an investigator about an incident where he was mistreated by a staff member who subjected him to inappropriate photos, sexual advances, and strip searches. Casting especially encourages talent who represent this identity to submit. (1 scene- 20 minutes)
