Will CohenI am Will Cohen and am 16 years old and unfortunately my whole life I wanted to be an actor more than anything in the world. I say unfortunately because it is such a competative industry, but I am willing to do anything it takes. It would be amazing to get the oppurtunity to be a part of this show for the exposure and mostly because of all the things I can learn from the experts that have already made it. Please consider me for any part it would be awesome. Sincerely, Will Cohen 0 Reply July 24, 2014

India L.Greetings,I don’t really have a fancy story to tell or an amazingly untrue description of myself, but i’ve been missing something in my life for the past few years and it wasn’t until earlier this year that I realized what it was. The thing i’ve been missing the most in my life is acting and theatre. I got my first taste of acting at an early age, 5 to be exact. I took my first professional acting class during this time and I can remember it almost as if it were yesterday. So, I need to be apart of this film for several reasons:1. To prove to myself that I am good enough2. To fill a void3. To gain experience4. To learn from the experience5. (and most importantly) To use the gift that GOD has given to meSincerely, A Random Actress 0 Reply July 22, 2014
Mike RiveraTo be truthfully honest, this would be an amazing experience to embark. I ‘ve wondered, how can I cease to exist to greatness without taking a chance. When one is given an opportunity, you must take it with a grain of sand and proceed with the integrity of your upbringing and passion living in your very soul. With that being said, acting next to Queen Latifah isn’t only just a privilege but, also an honor. 0 Reply July 22, 2014

Mina BulayaHello! My name is Mina Bulaya, I am a 14 year old African American girl and entering my 11th grade this fall. And I know you are probably thinking, “How in the world is a 14 year old in 11th grade?” My answer: Homeschooling. I have been doing homeschooling for the past two years and I love it! It gives me so much space and great opportunities that I couldn’t have achieved in regular public school. I also attend Barbizon Talent School, which has really prepared me for the industry. Not only am I serious about this role, I am also extremely passionate about acting. For me, acting isn’t about making money or being rich, it’s about doing what I love. And that is putting smiles on peoples faces. I also believe that the world we live in should be a more diverse world. I believe that if I get more diverse actors and actresses it may inspire so many other young people who may not feel they are good enough for a role that could change our life.I also have an INSANE support group from my family. Being the youngest of five children, I know what it’s like to live in a big family. My parents were born in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and trust me; they know hardship. But I am so thankful that they did not give up when times got hard, or they were tired, or there was not enough money. They put all the strength and power to make sure my siblings and I have all we need to achieve every goal and aspiration we set our for ourselves.Thank you for all your consideration and thank you for reading this message! I really appreciate it. Feel free to email me at: bulaya.mina@gmail.comThank you so much Mina Bulaya 0 Reply July 22, 2014

Cheri JohnsonWhooooooo!!! I am very excited to even be writing this message. I mean this new HBO film seems to be like a game changer. And having Queen Latifah play this role will just fit her perfectly. The reason that I am so eager to work alongside Queen Latifah is because since I was a little girl I have grown up watching her films and the many diverse roles that she plays. I am a 19 year old college athlete thriving to get pointers and tips on how to be successful in this industry. There is this indescribable passion for me to be on screen and do something that I truly LOVE. If I do not get the chance to work alongside this woman who makes magic on screen, I would just like to know where I should start. The only place I know to start is auditions, and showing my raw talent. Just guidance and opportunity is what I am looking for. Thank you for reading.-Cheri Johnson 0 Reply July 17, 2014

Jody ZuvichI adore the QUEEN! She is funny, sophisticated, intelligent, beautiful, graceful and charming…being in a film with her would be inspiring. She makes people around her better. Who wouldn’t want that? Some say I remind them of Meg Ryan ( we are the same age) and some say I am funny…let me know if you are looking for anyone like that?! 0 Reply July 16, 2014

Antonio Gutierrez SaldanaHi, My name is Antonio Gutierrez Saldana and ever since I was a toddler I was always the kid who loved movies and was fasinated by how movies or tv shows would be brought to life, from the extensive details to the little things that are included I always knew I wanted to become an actor when I grew up… I currentley turned 18 and now have the opportunity to chase my vision and achieve my dream. I don’t look at this as I’m going to be famous or rich I want to live the lifestyle of traveling, meeting new people and just living memories with whom is with me. I feel I would be a great addition because I’m a fast learner, bilingual with a basic knowledge of French took 3 years in high school, I know when it time to have fun and when it’s time to get down to business. I currently auditioned with CCMTCTALENT and got a recall and I’m currentley part of the team and have my showcase in august and I’m really excited and hyped because this is my time to shine and show what I can do… thank you so much for your time and want to thank you for the opportunity of letting me express my self.

Ca'Trena DelisaI want to be considered for a part in this movie because it’s time plus size actresses to be recognized for their talents & not because they’re the funny sidekick. I believe by being in this movie, I can learn a lot from Queen Latifah & Monique. It’s my time to stop worrying about my size & show people my talent. 0 Reply July 15, 2014
Katee GalgoczyQueen Latifah has been one of my biggest inspirations, while I was growing up. To partake in a commercial, t.v. series, movie has been my dream for a very long time. I was told by an (almost) agent that if I wanted to get into acting, I would have to lose weight before I could come back. Miss Latifah showed me it’s okay to not be a size 0. That bigger women can do everything a smaller girl can. It would be an honor to work with someone who I know has shown several women that it’s okay to be who you really are. I know I can be another role model for girls, who are having the same insecurities that I once had. Thank you. -Katee G. 0 Reply July 14, 2014
