    Hi I am looking to be an extra why-you asked, because I have great facial expressions and acting is my passion and my dream. This will be a dream come true if I can step on the set of a tv show, a successful tv show even as an extra. God Bless

  2. Yvette

    Hello Mr. Perry and Ms. Winfrey. I am going to come right out and say that I would love to be a part of your television series. I live in a town where there is not much of an opportunity to pursue a career in acting. However, I was blessed to be cast in a movie recently, where I acted in a supporting role. I had considered relocating to another state, but decided not to at the present after I moved back home from New Orleans, LA. Acting has been a dream of mine for a very long time. I would love if you could please give me an opportunity to just play even a small role on your show. I am 48 yrs. old with a great personality, therefore, I believe I could be a great addition to your show, if you give me a chance. I guarantee you wont be disappointed, I look forward to your reply.

  3. Allyce Adams-Smith

    Hello Mr. Perry,
    I am a 43 year old gospel singer. I have loved the performing arts all my life. However, I hide doing various 9 to 5’s. I grew extremely frustrated watching life pass me by. Therefore, I decided this would be the year that I step out on faith and pursue professionally a career in the arts. My first that I accomplished was to relocate from Clearwater, Florida to Atlanta, Georgia and I auditioned for Season 7 of BET’s Sunday Best. I did not make the cast for the show. However, I am not discouraged. I am ready to audition for the Have or Have Nots to continue this exciiting journey.

  7. Lena Rudolph

    I’ve always wanted to work with Mr. Perry because he never gave up on himself, through his journey to get him to where he is today he kept pushing on. It remind me of myself, and how I have not given up, despite loosing my father at Fourteen years old, loosing my pregnancy at twenty-one years old. Today Six months later after my loss pregnancy I have found myself again, and am taking the time out to enjoy what Lena actually likes to do, where my happiness is truly at. Having a conversation with my counselor brought just that topic up what bring me happiness, and I told her the stories of acting in my elementary years and throughout middle school and she suggested as well as myself that I finally put myself first and pursue my dreams, what better time to do so when you have nothing to loose but a new beginning to gain.

  14. Shyla Taylor

    My goal in life is to be able to share my God given talent in a way that is expressive and also shows my flexibility and many sides. Growing up watch Tyler Perry plays, I’ve seen nothing but that in the actors and actresses that are chosen for Tyler Perry productions, and I want nothing more than to be apart of that. I am currently a junior in high school, a full time online student with an AB average. and a 3.8 GPA. I can both sing and act, and aside from that I would love to learn the ways of the entertainment business. My back up plan is to become a double major at NYU, major in psychology and minor in English. I’d like to be able to share my story with girls my age and be able to become a role model that is able to move a crowd like Mr. Perry. I once heard Mr. Perry say at the end of a play that all I need is a dream and one yes from God. I’m looking for that yes through TPS, however I can find it.
    Thank you for your time.

  15. Talitha Trofa

    Hello Mr. Perry and Mrs. Winfrey,
    First off I would like to say that just being able to be given a chance is a huge deal. I have been singing since I was 4 years old, and it has always been a passion of mine, but it never really occurred to me how much I love to sing till I first performed in my middle school talent show. I felt like I was at home and that I was actually being myself. When I perform it is the best feeling in the world and to be able to perform with you and Oprah and all of the other amazing people you have do your shows would be a life changing experience. There is something so unique about the performances that you put on that is entertaining at that but also, extremely inspirational. I know a lot of people say that performers do it for the fame and glory which is not entirely wrong, but there is so much more then that. Its about conveying a message to the audience through one of God’s most wonderful gifts; the gift of song. So I would be completely honored if you would read my message…truly read my message and tell me if you think I am worthy enough to perform in one of your productions. Thank you so much for this opportunity and have a blessed day.
    -Talitha Trofa

  20. Consuelo

    Who wouldn’t want to be a part of this collaboration!!! I would like my daughter Genesis who is 7yrs old to audition for a part. My daughter has been interested and taken some classes in acting. She has enjoyed herself and would like to get the full on experience of trying the real deal! She’s has an amazing spirit, funny kind and loving. She’s beautiful inside out, mixed child of Mexican and African descent. She’s still a child but I feel children have the mind set of imaginations!! So if anything she would be great! Cause she loves playing pretend. She’s an Aquarius, so free spirited and on the artsy side ;D thank u!!

  21. Shaterica

    God gives us all a talent that we all at some point can’t figure out what it is. As years go by the talent is never discovered or we just let the opportunity to find out what it is pass us by. Not me, I’m ready, willing and hard working to show the many talents that I have. I’m not shy, scared, or wavering in my talent. I can do what ever it will take to keep the box offices and movies continuously sold out. I AM YOUR NEXT TALENT.

  22. Misty Michon Manor

    How can an already perfect show backed behind 2 of the greatest Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey get any better you ask? Well with the Addition of newcomer Misty Manor the show The Have and Have not has peaked to astounding levels. .. the ratings are through the roof. The producers of the OWN NETWORK never predicted this. The people are talking everywhere. .. this misty manor is something Spicey…she adopts and embraces her character as if it were herself. ..

    I can see it now. .. i mean after all if something is to be one must speak it into existence. .. well I see this in my dreams. What I Misty Manor can bring to the cast of The Haves and Have Nots is a bit of fresh air. God given talent is awaiting your approval. I’m just an average girl from Austin Texas that feels as though this is her time to shine. .. You hear that all the time I’m sure but how many times have you heard the name Misty Manor… ? That name was designed for the big stage. In all modesty I HAVE what it takes. .. not because of an extensive acting resume..not because I have something to prove to anyone else not to gain status or recognition because I currently hold a job with extreme power But simply because I’ve been counted out many times before and now I can hear opportunity knocking at my front door yet again and I welcome her in with open arms… Mr. Perry, Ms. Winfrey I will not let you down as a matter of fact I plan to make you proud…can’t you hear it now (shhhhh) just listen to the crowd. ..

ALL I NEED IS ONE AUDITION TO SHOW OWN NETWORK, OPRAH AND TYLER PERRY EXACTLY WHAT I AM MADE OF. I HAVE BEEN DOING PLAYS SINCE I WAS 10 YEARS OLD. SO GOD HAS BEEN PREPARING ME FOR THIS MOMENT. PLEASE GIVE ME A CHANCE PLEASE!!

  24. Jaylen Weatherred

    I could put a long 3 page story on why I should be considered for this show, but I won’t do that to y’all. I’m just a 16 year old black male teenager who loves & aspires to act. I love stepping away from my life, & being someone else. I have been in theatre since I was 10 years old.
    When I see Tyler Perry talk, & the way he responds to things, he reminds me of everything I want to be when I become older. I watch the have & have nots faithfully & to be apart of it will be a blessing beyond compare. We all deserve chances in life & I hope auditioning for this show will be my chance. If not, then that is okay too. I know God will present me with plenty more chances in my life.

  25. Debra Johnson

    Dear Mr. Tyler Perry and Ms. Oprah Winfrey,
    I believe I am born to act. Watching television is painful. Sometimes I get up and walk away to perform what I just saw on the TV. I feel like I’m failing myself because I’m not acting. I smell it, I breathe it, and most of all I feel it and worse of all I’m not doing it. I’m so full of emotions and need a platform to express myself. You have to see me, always performing in the shower, in the living room, in front of my family and friend. I even pretend I have an audience. I attended acting school and my teacher said, “Debra when you get to Hollywood don’t change” I had to role play in class a person of schizophrenia and my professor said to me, “you are in the wrong field”. It’s those comments that keep hopeful. I have acting on my bucket list. I like to someday work with Mr. Tyler Perry and Ms. Oprah Winfrey on OWN. Congratulations for OWN success!

  26. Michaela Obro

    Hi, My name is Michaela Obro and am a 15 year old sophomore in high school. Acting is my escape. Its my escape from reality, its my escape from my past, and its the escape the world. But acting is also my entrance to the future. I’ve been acting for 3 years now and have found that acting takes me to places and heights I’ve never imagined. Being in someone else’s shoes and connecting with the challenges and hardships they face can really make or break you. They make me who I am. My struggle and my ease. I am a 10 year member of my local Boys & Girls Club and I know from first hand experience how difficult life can be, but there’s always a always an escape. This year I became a Youth of the Year ambassador as I shared my story. My escape is beyond the eyes of others,, yet too powe rful for my own. Acting is my escape.

  27. Fortunate zwane

    Hello Mr Perry and Oprah

I believe it will I don’t believe that there’s a dream to big to achieve.
    Thank you.

  29. Khari

    Hi, my name is Khari Allen. I am 16 years old, about 5’5″, African American, from Atlanta, GA. I have been acting in plays and production within my community since age 3.When I am not acting, I play volleyball. However, due to my family’s low income, I have had to put my acting and other extracurricular activities on the back burner. At my school, I am in Relay for Life, I love technology,and I spend my free time helping other students with their work. My family and I love watching the hilarious Madea in action. For as long as I can remember, I have been a fan of Tyler Perry Productions. As an aspiring actress, I appreciate the work and time put into the productions. As far as my personality goes, I am smart, optimistic, positive, and energetic. On set, I love to keep everybody in a great mood and I love helping out. If I was able to get a part in a Tyler Perry show or, movie I would be ecstatic! Thanks for your time and I hope to hear from your team.

  31. Jo-Vel Jernigan

    Hello, My name is Jo-Vel Jernigan. I’m a 28 year old single Black woman from Norfolk, Va. I’m 5’6 ft. weighing 160 lbs, I have no children yet. I am inspired by both Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry . I want to earn the opportunity to work with this team because of how I was raised made it difficult for me to be expressive. I have alot of emotions bottled inside, so i often write poetry but I feel like acting would be a great way of getting my true feelings out and overcoming the pain. My life story would also make a good movie, I drove a stolen truck through a house etc. at the age of 13. I felt that God spared my life so I can inspire and help juvenile delinquents. I just want to help make a difference for the youth.

  34. Nyra Lynette

    Hi. My name is Nyra Lynette. I am a 28 year old Mother of two. From Louisville ky. My Mother told me that at the age of three, she knew that I was something special. We were riding in the car and MC Hammers “2legit2quit” blasted. She said I blurted out “Hey Hey, Hey Hey” like I had rehearsed it! At the age of 6 My mother and I were separated by her drug addiction and I was placed in Foster-Care until the age of 12. The entire time, I was miserable with the exception of Choir rehearsals and school plays. I was blessed to live back with mother n I began to write songs and perform in Talent Shows. Im not Beyonce, not Alicia…Just Nyra! But, would love to share myself, my story, and my talents with the world, All the same. Ive said enough, but in closing I think I would be a great add-on to ur cast, because I know struggle, I know doubt , and I also know that Determination ends both. I know that I can be a joy to ur cast. N the world. Please come check me out Onli1Nyra on Youtube and SoundCloud.

  39. Jacqueline wiggins

    I am 49yrs. Old I am a licensed practical nurse. I have been for 14yrs. I am presently in school studying to become a registered nurse. I love being a nurse however my passion is singing/acting. I was raised in a Christian family. Lead solo vocalist in my church choir. Also in my younger days I won several awards for singing. People would always say to me that I was born with talent. I always dreamed of becoming a singer/actress/Starr . However I let drugs take my dream. I have been abstinence from drugs for many years. When I first saw tyler perry on the Oprah show and he told his story. I said to myself before I leave this earth I am going to be in one of Tyler Perry’s plays/movies/sitcoms. I have never taking any fine arts classes or theater related classes. However I was always told I was born with talent. At my age I just want to be a performer. I dream of this everyday. I in vision myself singing and acting. As Ben Carson’s mother would say to him. You can be anything you want to be and better.” The reason why I waited so long is because I thought I wasn’t good enough. My past drug addiction held me back. I am ready right now if you would give me a chance Tyler perry/Oprah. Thank you.

  43. Jennifer Burgess

    Hello Mr.Tyler and Mrs. Oprah. All my life I’ve wanted to act every since i was a child but unfortunately i never had that help or resources i needed to go for my dreams. I’m a single mother of three and a very hard worker. I work part time as a bus driver for the city of Lansing and go to school part time for radiology. But I feel like something is missing in my life and it’s acting because that’s what my true passion is. I learn fast and work well under pressure and with others. I’m determined to give it my all if you give me a chance to show my talent. You may wonder why I’m deciding now to pursue an acting career but it’s because my children have been my cheerleaders and told me to go for what I want. I have always taught them that anything in life they want they have to go hard for it so for them I must lead by example. I just want a chance to show you the talent i have. I just never been around anyone who could give me a push or lead me in the right direction to get there . I don’t want anything for free I will work and give it my all. I prayed about it over and over being afraid i might not make it but my God told me I won’t know unless i try. So again I hope this reaches you both and you consider me for a role in one of your shows I promise you won’t regret it. Thanks in advance for your time.

  53. Cheryl A. Latham

    Hi Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey,
    How are you both? I am applying for a position as an actor because I have always wanted to be an actor since the age of 11. I have a lot to affer as an artist. First of all I believe in God and through his son Jesus Christ I know that all things are possible. I started acting at the age of 13 years old through a local drama class and I continued to act until I was 17 years old, That’s when I paused from acting and decided to get a job and go to work and live as a regular person, but still in the back of my mind I knew that one day I would pursue acting again. In the mean time I continued to work and support myself and I continued to draw and paint pictures and potraits. A few years ago I started acting again, I saw a flyer on the counter of a soul food restaurant and I decided to respond to the casting call to be in a local church play. I performed and I was asked to come back again and again to perform in more of the church plays. As I stated before I love the Arts, I love being an Artist, I love Acting, I love singing and I love what you, Tyler and Oprah are bringing to the world of communities which is more love, more opportunities and more self worth and I would be an asset to this family who is dedicated in making this world a better and productive place to perform the Arts of which displays many talents and creative natures that were meant to be seen and heard and loved by all people of interest. God bless you and I am looking forward to meeting you both.
    Respectfully yours, Cheryl A. Latham

  55. samanha williams

    There’s nothing so special about me to be considered for such a great opportunity. I’m a 27 year old African wife and mother of two with the passion for putting smiles on others faces. I would have never dreamed of working for television but I feel its time to allow my wings to fly. I’m willing to learn grow and give 100% of myself. I don’t know what God has in store for me. But I am willing to follow.

  56. Joyce Wright

    Hello Mr Perry and Mrs Winfrey, I thank you that you are taking time out to share with me. I am an actress in the Maryland, Washington DC area. Acting is who I am as I act a bit different in different situations. I use every opportunity that I get to act as long as it does not harm anyone or anything. I started out acting in grocery stores in the isles doing my own commercials, I’ve acted in church and everywhere else I found my own little stage. I am a trained actor and have done community theatre and film background work. At your convience and with your approval I would love share more with you. JW

  57. Tatyana Blackwell

    Most nights I’m up thinking about what my purpose in life is. Why am I here? I believe that my purpose is to show people that dreams do come true with faith in God & prayer. In my short 18 years of life I’ve been through things that broke me down. Although I could’ve let my past keep me there, I allowed it to build me in to a stronger young woman. I don’t know where this comment is going to take me but just knowing that I might have a chance to fulfill my dreams is almost unreal. You’re giving a lot of hope to people, I just hope that right NOW is MY time.

    God has blessed me with a beautiful personality and appearance. I have had a passion for acting since I was a little girl. I’ve displayed my talents in church plays, school age programs and now I am ready, if God is willing, to take my talent to another level. Tyler Perry’s plays caught my attention because I have experienced just about everything in every film he has produced from heartbreak to struggle. Now Im ready to express my pain and experiences through acting. Especially playing a role that I have actually experienced before. Please consider me. God Bless!!!

    God has put me in a position to call things into existance in my life. I have been told that I will be promoted to a position that I won’t even qualify for. Everything that I declare into this show’s future will manifest itself in such a way that even I wont be able to believe. I may just be 18 but God has already showed me my destiny and YOU are in it!

Im trying to get closer to God, but that does not happen over night. please give me a chance for me and my daughter..

  71. Fredia Dunn

    I am from Louisiana, Kentwood, Louisiana, to be exact. I know that Mr. Perry is from Louisiana. I also know that his mother lived in the Greensburg, Louisiana area. I believe that Ms. Winfrey is from Mississippi. I said that to say…I am so very proud of them both. They are from the “country” so to speak and look at how successful they are now. Where you come from has nothing to do with where you’re going or what you can do.

    I love Oprah and everything that she had done, her show, magazine, OWN and The Legends Ball, need a say more. I have seen every play and movie that Tyler has done thus far. OMG, The Haves and the Have Nots is the best show on television since the show Dallas was on years ago….remember “who shot JR”??? I would love to be a part of this show in any way possible. I think that it would be awesome for a “country girl” from down south to actually be a part of this HUGE project/show.
