19 roles

PaigeFemale25-30 y.o.African-American

Recurring Guest (4 Episodes). Strait-laced and tightly wound. Paige is the complete opposite of her sister, Parker. With her wedding approaching, she tends to be even more on edge than she usually is. Character is gay.

PeterMale22-28 y.o.All ethnicities

Recurring Guest (4 Episodes). Exceedingly basic and out of touch with the queer community. Peter works in theater, but not in an exciting aspect of it. But he's really nice! That's the only word many would use to describe him. Character is gay.

KirstenFemale30-45 y.o.All ethnicities

Recurring Guest (4 Episodes). Slightly unhinged, yet fully in control. Kirsten comes from money and keeps making more as a CEO of a bottled water company. She's not middle-aged, but is terrified of becoming middle-aged.

AJMale25-30 y.o.All ethnicities

Recurring Guest (4 Episodes). Suave and handsome, AJ charms the pants off of most people he meets (usually literally). He's funny and easy to volley with - classic best friend to lover in a romcom.

JulietteFemale30-45 y.o.All ethnicities

Recurring Guest (4 Episodes). Slightly older than our lead cast and over it. Smart, sly, and dry. Stoner hippie vibes. Madame Trelawney meets Joanne the Scammer.

BaileyBoth genders25-30 y.o.All ethnicities

(they/them or he/him) Recurring Guest (3 Episodes). Headstrong and self aware. Always the first to call people out on their BS and push them to be better. Character is queer.

EmmaFemale25-35 y.o.All ethnicities

Recurring Guest (2 Episodes). Butch, blunt, protective. Can't handle Parker's antics, but loves Paige too much to say anything about it. Character is gay.

Jane DoeFemale20-30 y.o.All ethnicities

Recurring Guest (2 Episodes). Pop star from Australia. All about her brand. Loves her fans (the gays). Friends with Chasten Buttigieg.

CarneyFemale20-25 y.o.All ethnicities

Recurring Co-Star (3 Episodes). Uppity, narcissistic, brown-noser. She knows everything about acting, despite taking a class for it. The first to correct someone in a way that doesn't actually help them.

ChristopherMale25-30 y.o.All ethnicities

Guest (One Scene). Looks and acts like all of the other white bread men at his talent agency. Nice, but is it fully honest? Driven and committed.

Mr. WascherMale50-60 y.o.All ethnicities

Co-Star (One Scene) - Instead of side, improvise how you would fire someone. Intense and slightly unnerving. Could be the owner of a lucrative talent agency, could also be a 1000 year old bringer of death. He has one line that scares someone into quitting their job.

NoelleFemale25-30 y.o.All ethnicities

Guest (Multiple Scenes). The definitive bimbo. Was literally just on Love Island. Her boobs have a Stan twitter. Can't wait to explore her new fame.

LucasMale25-30 y.o.All ethnicities

Guest (Multiple Scenes). Warm and authentic... or at least he seems that way! There's a deep intelligence and manipulative layer to him that he doesn't show fully, but if you look hard enough you can see it.

Colonial WomenFemale20-30 y.o.All ethnicities

Guest (Multiple Scenes) - Choose any of the 3 Colonial Women to read. Though they look like pilgrims they should feel like Gen Z girls. Rapid fire thoughts from 3 rapid fire THOTs. They're really a figment of someone's imagination so they're allowed to live outside of reality.

Hung TopMale20-30 y.o.All ethnicities

Hung Top - Guest (Multiple Scene). Cool, calm, collected. Has a sexy intensity coming from him at all times. Knows how to get someone naked. Character is gay. Stage movement experience a plus.

AnnieFemale20-25 y.o.All ethnicities

Guest (Multiple Scene). Quick and forward. She doesn't hold back. Sometimes that bites her in the ass, but not with her friends. Character is queer. Stage movement experience a plus.

NoahMale20-25 y.o.All ethnicities

Guest (Multiple Scenes). Timid and scared. Dealing with the internal conflict of his religious upbringing and his sexuality, eventually choosing religion and family. Character is queer. Stage movement experience a plus.

F Word GuyMale25-35 y.o.All ethnicities

Guest (Multiple Scenes). Possibly dumb, or possibly ignorant. No real way to tell! Always thinking about sex, always pushing buttons and boundaries. He's not the best guy, but you'd probably hook up with him again. Character is gay.

Toby - Co-StarMale25-35 y.o.All ethnicities

(One Scene). Annoyed, tired, semi-rude. Craving to create his own identity separate from his pop-star roommate.
