Guava
Built like a linebacker, vibes like a cat dad. Guava’s the quiet type who can carry a couch and a moral crisis at the same time. Doesn’t talk much, but when he does, it’s weirdly profound. He just wants everyone to get along and maybe not end up in jail. The gang’s secret softie.
WHITNEY
MUST HAVE EXCELLENT BASKETBALL SKILLS...Female, White, VERY BOYISH LOOKING, 17-18yrs old (only submit 18+, no minors)...ONLY SUBMIT 5'7" or taller...Whitney is the Power Forward for the Lady Hawks. She is resilient, understated, and known for her composure on the court in the face of extreme pressure. But she's struggling with her gender identity, which causes her to have a lot of anxiety and a tendency to second-guess herself on the court. While she's a phenomenal shooter, she doesn't like being the center of attention, and would rather be seen more as a team player than a ball hog. She does not wear any makeup. LEAD. LA LOCAL HIRES ONLY
Adolescente
Rôle principal : Jeune femme issue de la diversité, look 16 à 22 ans (elle ne doit pas avoir l’air d’avoir 13 ans) Profil recherché : personne expressive, avec un excellent sens de l’humour et une attitude assurée (qui ne se laisse pas facilement intimider). Le texte n’est pas encore disponible, mais ce sera une réplique du genre: Elle demande à une vedette qu’elle croise par hasard: « C’tu vrai que tu dors encore avec ton toutou? »
Hailey Cooper
Smart, beautiful, and composed. Though not born into wealth, she carries herself with strength and grace. When she learns of her boyfriend's betrayal, she fakes memory loss as part of a calculated plan to reclaim power. Fiercely independent, emotionally resilient, and impossible to fool twice.
Xavier Whitmore
Tall, reserved, and effortlessly charming. The youngest billionaire in the city. Beneath his cool exterior lies a deeply romantic heart that has quietly longed for Hailey. When the chance arises to step into her life, he does — not for revenge, but for love.
Chase Harrington
Spoiled, impulsive, and confident to a fault. A trust fund playboy who cheated on Hailey with her best friend, convinced she’d never leave him. His lies spiral out of control when he claims Vanessa is with Xavier, unknowingly setting up his own downfall.
Vanessa Blake
Hailey’s “best friend” and secret rival. Jealous of Hailey’s relationship and lifestyle, Vanessa seduces Chase in hopes of claiming the wealth and status for herself. Manipulative, calculating, and ultimately outplayed.
James Horton
Elegant and ever-present, the Whitmore family’s loyal butler. Discreet and wise, James sees everything — and when the time comes, subtly aids Xavier and Hailey in navigating the deception around them.
TONY KIRITSIS
40s-50s, White, unpredictable, temperamental, charming, his honesty is disarming. Tony is an unmarried, failed everyman at the end of his rope after his mortgage lender plans to foreclose on his property. Tony takes the head of the mortgage company, Dick Hall, hostage via a shotgun rigged to shoot Dick in the head if Tony is jostled or pulled. Tony informs the cops of his plan, but what he really wants is to tell his story, live, to beloved radio news anchor Fred Heckman (Jon Hamm) on local WIBC radio. As the public begins to hear the oddly charismatic Tony’s side of the story, he begins to become a folk hero, despite his criminal actions ...SERIES REGULAR; REFERENCE LINK TO THE REAL TONY KIRITSIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXXjC2JBTKo&t=207s
DICK HALL
Male, 40s, White, a former football player, successful, proud, steady, the president of Meridian Mortgage. Dick has unfulfilled dreams of being a pilot -- he was forced to work at Meridian by his domineering father who he has a troubled relationship with. A functioning alcoholic in a crumbling marriage, Dick is not happy to see the volatile Tony Kiritsis in his office yet again, knowing that after four years, they're about to foreclose on Tony's commercial property. While calm in a crisis, Dick becomes terrified when the unhinged Tony fixes a shotgun to the back of his neck, rigged to shoot Dick in the head if Tony is jostled or pulled. Dick is forced to reckon with Tony’s character assassinations of him during Tony’s live interviews with Fred Heckman, interviews that cause the public to turn on Dick, even as he’s the one to be held hostage...SERIES REGULAR
BARBARA HECKMAN
[BARBARA HECKMAN] Female, early 40s - early 50s, White. Barbara is Fred Heckman's (Jon Hamm) loyal wife and mother of four, but don’t let the good manners and midwestern niceness fool you. She is formidable in her own right, intelligent and perceptive. Throughout the crisis, her burgeoning friendship with the hostages’ wife (Ibby), challenges Barb’s usual sense of propriety and self-containment. Barbara has lived with a newsman long enough to know that breaking news trumps all else, but this story is different, revealing things about Fred, and privacy and assumptions about herself that she’s never questioned before -- creating a fissure in their marriage. For the first time, Barb has to decide what she wants instead of what they want. SERIES REGULAR
BEN HAIRSTON
[BEN HAIRSTON] Male, 30s-40s, Black. Respected and liked, good at his job, clever. Ben is Fred’s mentee at WIBC news. After being a news reporter, he has finally found his work family at WIBC radio.

Through the course of the series, as Fred becomes more and more compromised in his role as a negotiator, Ben must intercede and decide whether he should dethrone his mentor in the name of journalistic integrity...SERIES REGULAR
CORMAC MCNALLY
[FBI SPECIAL AGENT CORMAC MCNALLY] Male, early 30s - early 40s, White. A criminal profiler with the Behavioral Science Unit when that was a new thing at the FBI. Very confident in his abilities and skeptical of the competency of local law enforcement, McNally’s odd hobbies and idiosyncratic behavior might just be real, or might just be a cover for his tendency to “profile” everyone around him – whether friend or foe ... HEAVY RECURRING
IBBY HALL
Female, 30s, White. Dick’s wife, cosmopolitan and beautiful, but stuck in Indianapolis through a weird twist of fate. She possesses a dry sense of humor and rebellious streak.
