4 roles

Julia-The ReceptionistFemale18-45 y.o.All ethnicities

Receptionist at Set21 With a crisp British accent and a sharper tongue, Emily delivers savage remarks disguised as polite conversation. She’s the unbothered gatekeeper of the office—cool, composed, and constantly throwing shade no one ever catches... because she sounds so proper.

Jessica-The Big Dreamer & hopeless romanticFemale18-38 y.o.All ethnicities

She's a hopeless romantic with red carpet dreams and a ABC News vision board taped inside her desk. Known for her flawless delivery and obsession with celebrity culture, she’s great at covering the stars… but doesn’t always treat her current job like the one that’ll get her there.

Johnathan - The News GuyMale18-56 y.o.African-American Latino / Hispanic

Johnathan Watkins is a seasoned local news correspondent who pops in periodically to gather fashion stories and events — and stir the pot. His dry humor and no-nonsense attitude cut through the glitz, often poking fun at the superficial side of fashion citing it not being "real news". Eli thrives in fast-paced environments and isn’t afraid to call things as he sees them, all while secretly enjoying the chaos he critiques.

Ellison WatkinsMale18-56 y.o.African-American Latino / Hispanic

Eli is the executive with stories from the past and vision for the future. Once in the thick of fashion shoots and live coverage, he now steers from behind the scenes. Known for his smooth delivery and insightful banter, Marcus shows up when it matters — to mentor, to meet, or to make moves. He’s rarely without a date or a deadline.
