Saaphyri Windsor is suing Tammy Fuller for brand damage and unauthorized resale of products from Saaphyri’s company.

She’s confident and charismatic, but her fire is grounded in a strong moral code. To her, this isn’t just business—it’s integrity. She feels betrayed by someone she considered a friend, and she’s determined to protect her brand, make an example, and demand accountability.

Role: Plaintiff Witness — Alexander Carter III (Male, 10, Any Race)
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.

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: 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)

    Compensation:

  • $20 per hour

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

Character Overview: Alexander is a highly intelligent, family-oriented small business owner who runs a local café while raising two young kids. He’s responsible and always on the go, but generally laid back about things he considers “not worth the stress.” This is worth the stress. He inherited his home from his parents and has lived there for seven years—so the tree represents legacy, memory, and stability. He’s had ongoing tension with Lynn since she moved in three years ago, and he’s done being “the easygoing neighbor” when he believes someone attacked something precious to his family.
Requirements:

  • Strong improv ability with natural, grounded delivery

  • Able to portray calm competence that shifts into protective anger and heartbreak

  • Comfortable delivering a values-based argument (legacy, family history, home)

  • Strong reactive listening when challenged on proof and assumptions

  • Can explain conflict history and damages/repairs clearly and consistently
    Compensation:

  • $20 per hour

Jenna maintains she was being cautious and responsible, and that the equipment failure and handling issues put her in danger.

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: Jenna is a hardworking Los Angeles marketing consultant who’s constantly stretched thin by demanding clients and nonstop deadlines. She’s independent and careful, but prone to overthinking—and she prides herself on being responsible. After the crash, she’s shaken and frustrated, feeling like her caution still wasn’t enough because the situation was out of her control. She’s determined to be taken seriously and reimbursed for real losses, not dismissed as a dramatic tourist.
Requirements:

  • Strong improv ability with natural, grounded delivery

  • Able to portray anxious overthinking, stress, and controlled frustration authentically

  • Comfortable playing “responsible professional” energy under scrutiny

  • Strong reactive listening when challenged about driving behavior and choices

How do I find a legit casting call?

To find legitimate casting calls, start by using reputable platforms like Project Casting, which vets postings to ensure authenticity. Always research the casting company or director associated with the call. Legitimate opportunities typically don’t require payment to audition, and any contact should come from professional email addresses rather than personal accounts.

Can you audition without an agent?

Yes, you can audition without an agent. Many open casting calls and online platforms allow individual actors to submit directly for roles. While having an agent can provide access to more exclusive opportunities and handle negotiations, many new actors start their careers by attending open calls or self-submitting for roles online.

What is the difference between a casting call and an audition?

A casting call is a notice put out by producers or casting directors seeking potential actors for roles, inviting them to apply or present themselves. An audition is the process where actors perform a specific piece, like a monologue or a script, in front of the casting team after responding to a casting call. Essentially, the casting call is the request, and the audition is the response.

What is the best free casting call website?

Generally, you should not pay to attend casting calls. Legitimate casting calls and auditions do not require payment from actors. If a casting call asks for money to audition or to secure a role, it is likely a scam. The standard practice is that any fees associated with the casting process are covered by the production.
