Submissions from

Role description

Female or male or other genders fashion Stylist : from conservative to edgy, all types welcome. You will be interacting with the candidates but also with the host Christian who is a stylist in New York. You will both have to come up with a plan and a look for the participant. The participant will then select the outfit from one or the other stylist to wear for his or her special event. Pictures or video of the actual event with the participant wearing the outfit will be shown afterwards or made up ones if not real event for the purpose of the first proof of concept if need be. The idea is to have a second stylist next to Christian who can bring opposite views to Christian's style, choices and also brings a different energy. The co-host will be asked to bring a more ''conservative'' or ''Classic'' vision to the outfit selections. Please make a self-tape explaining why you would be great for the show and, what are your experiences and give us the links to your portefolios or social medias and send all to info@totalcasting.ca or on casting workbook.

Role description

We are looking for a participant who often finds themselves wondering, “What should I wear for this event?”, especially when facing a bit of culture shock around different dress codes in an unfamiliar social or cultural gathering. The ideal candidate has an interest in fashion but wouldn’t describe themselves as a fashionista. We’re seeking genuine individuals who are open to receiving personalized styling advice and discovering what truly suits them. Please note that we are NOT necessarily looking for professional actors or scripted performances. We want authentic, spontaneous reactions and a natural personality — someone comfortable being themselves and engaging openly with the process. An actor who may have experienced a similar situation beforehand could be interesting as well; we would simply re-enact the situation for the pilot. Just make sure to mention it in the self-tape. Candidates need to submit a short video explaining their style dilemma for this particular event — basically, how can they attend this event without feeling like a fish out of water? This helps gauge their comfort on camera and ensures their scenario fits the show’s format. Send all submissions to info@totalcasting.ca or through Casting Workbook. Think Fashion Hero style.

Submissions from
Toronto, Montréal, Ottawa
Role description

MAYA REED (Lead, Female, late 20s–mid 30s) A quietly fierce woman in the middle of medical treatment whose life implodes in a single afternoon. Maya is stunned, humiliated, and literally left on the sidewalk with a broken suitcase—then slowly reclaims her power after a lottery win puts her future back in her hands. A deeply emotional, layered role with subtle strength and a huge internal arc. Must convey: vulnerability, quiet resilience, shock, grief, and a slow-building core of steel. Wardrobe: Hospital-day casual (leggings, loose tops), simple workwear, cozy loungewear, later elevated but grounded “new chapter” looks.

Role description

ERIC REED (Supporting, Male, 30s) Maya’s polished, image-hungry husband who cares more about appearances than vows. Eric kicks her out mid-treatment with a wad of cash and a deadline, then reappears when the lottery win hits, suddenly full of apologies and entitlement. A great role for an actor who can play charming, cruel, and desperate—often in the same scene. Must convey: weaponized charm, cold cruelty, entitlement, and rattled ego when the power shifts. Wardrobe: Business-casual/upper-middle-class (dress shirts, slacks, smart casual jackets).

RILEY HART (Supporting, Female, 30s) A warm, wry widow and Airbnb host who finds Maya on the sidewalk and offers her a couch, tea, and a soft landing. Riley is living with active grief for her late husband but refuses bitterness; she becomes Maya’s anchor and co-creator of The Nate Project, a shelter and medical-debt fund in his honor. Must convey: lived-in grief, kindness, humor, and quiet strength; feels like instant “chosen family.” Wardrobe: Cozy, practical (jeans, sweaters, cardigans, house slippers), with a lived-in, homey feel.

LILY CARTER (Supporting, Female, 30s–40s) A razor-calm attorney who believes in timestamps over tears. Lily listens, takes notes, and quietly turns Maya’s story of abandonment into legal leverage. She’s not showy; her power is in stillness and precision. Must convey: grounded authority, empathy under control, intelligence, and strategic calm. Wardrobe: Simple, professional law-office attire (blouses, blazers, tailored pants or skirt).

Role description

ERIC’S MISTRESS (Supporting, Female, 20s–30s) Initially seen as the “other woman” who helps push Maya out, but by the stinger we see another side: pregnant, scared, and holding an envelope for The Nate Project. A compact but powerful role that moves from smug complicity to raw fear and regret. Must convey: early arrogance, pettiness, and later genuine fear and vulnerability. Wardrobe: Trendy casual (leggings/jeans, fitted tops, designer knock-offs); later, more subdued, stressed look.
