    Hello (Casting Human Resources),

    I am writing in response to the roles. I just came across the site and I would be absolutely grateful for the consideration to play this role. Due to my ambition of growing in this industry where I can excel and establish myself as a top-level performing actor, I am highly excited about this role. I know it sounds weird to be excited about a role that you haven’t even auditioned for but I’ve been waiting a long time to play a role like this.

    I feel personally connected to due to me having 2 younger sisters growing up and always bickering with one another. Also I’ve done Christmas church plays which involve issues within a family so I’ll be somewhat familiar with the script. As a castmate, I will offer resourcefulness, creativity, intelligence, and diligence to effectively support my team’s goal.

    I simply know that I have what it takes to do what this role requires. My strengths will show that I’m a person that will go above and beyond in any position. Challenges may be difficult, but who gets better without them.

    I would like to thank you for your consideration of myself for this role and I sincerely apologize if I missed the deadline to audition. And if so, I hope that you keep me in mind for other roles in the future.

    Thank you,

    Marquis Wilder

  13. Isaac Clay

    Greetings & Salutations & Hi:

    I thank God that you have formed this casting link to help everyone from every walk of life. I thank God for Tyler and Oprah (whom I sang to on the People’s Choice Awards Show in 1988). Although I haven’t seen the scripts, Love Thy Neighbor or The Haves and Have Nots, and not meaning to sound arrogant or pushy – I am positive that because of my years of experience and sensitivity to the American writing genre that I would fit very well into either one.

    I look forward to auditioning for you all and may God keep you happy, healthy and successful. Hope to hear from you soon.

    1st off I would like to say that I LOVE Tyler Perry and his movies as much as I enjoy Oprah and her inspiring acts to society. 2nd I would like to say that I dont’t have any experience in acting but I am confident in myself and I know that if given the chance to, I could become a great actress because I am willing to try and I don’t give up easily. 3rd and formost , even though I don’t have any experience in acting, I had the oppurtunity. I had an interview with Barbazon but they had to choose between my sister and I, and since Im more confident, they picked her because they wanted someone who didn’t have much confidence so that they could progress into becoming more confident in themselves

  18. Nastasia Aleze

    My name is Nastasia Aleze, I am African American/Cuban and 21yrs old. I’ve always had the passion for acting but never knew how to get my foot in the door. I’ve always tried to sign with talent agencies but as you may guess, they were scams. I was never enrolled in acting classes due to financial issues and my parents don’t take it serious enough to pay for me to go to school for Performing Arts. I have always practiced acting on my own. I watch and mimic the roles in movies, television shows, and commercials and note what I might do differently to portray different roles. I have also skipped a few of my own classes to sit in a friend’s acting class or two at my college, where I’m majoring in Liberal Arts. I have always believed that acting was for me, but when Actor, Stephen Baldwin approached me in the Palisades Mall, after watching me for some time with my family, he told me that I have “It” and need to do something about it! That boosted up my confidence insanely. I would love to have a shot at playing a role in Mr. Perry and Ms. Winfrey’s collaboration “The Haves and The Have Nots.” I believed this may be the opened door that I need.

  35. Marvin Brown

    Hello,

    My name is Marvin Brown and I am a 24 year old African-American male living in Charlottesville, VA. I am writing to express my interest in a role on Tyler Perry’s, “The Haves and the Have Nots” on the OWN Network. I would absolutely love to be a part of this production as both Mr. Perry and Ms. Winfrey are two of my idols and working with them would be an opportunity of a lifetime- a fact I emphasized in my email inquiring about having a role on “Love Thy Neighbor.” I am a very hard working individual and take my art very seriously, that being music and acting. After reading the plot for the scripted show, I’m even more eager to be a part of the cast not just because it is a Perry/Winfrey production but because it hits close to home. Being a classically trained cellist who attended the Juilliard School and won many national competitions, I had lots of close friends who came from family’s that were way more affluent than my own. While they studied with te best and most expensive teachers around, I was self-taught because my single mother of 3 could not afford such a luxury. Some of those very friends were supportive of my artistic endeavors and some were not- constantly I was told I accomplished one thing or another because of affirmative action, the color of my skin, or economic status. When I received a full merit-based scholarship to attend The Juilliard School I had many of those very friends tell me that I received it because I was on welfare or because I received free lunch at school. I am by no means one who plays “the victim” and while these comments did hurt me, they did not break me. Instead, later in life they lead me to do things I am not proud of to “keep up with the jones,'” if you will. After dropping out of Juilliard during my second year, I got into some trouble with the law and went to jail for 6 month. After getting out of jail and battling an addiction to alcohol I finally made the decision to live my life the honest way so that I may be proud of myself and my family could be as well. Today I am a young adult who recognizes the wonderful benefits of hard work and I cherish the gift I have been given to share with the world. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear something back soon!

    Best,

    Hello,

    I would love more information about this show. Now, if your looking for a skinny, long haired, clear complexion then its not me. However, if you want someone that is raw in talent and can be molded to be successful then I may be your candidate. I would love this opportunity at the age of 44.

  40. Marquita Walker

    As much as I have been through and on top of what is to come I feel that I can bring the emotions that are needed in playing such a roller coaster character. If you want this to be heart filling then it needs to be played out from the heart. That can only come from someone who has been through it and living through it, that’s the only way a story can have a meaning. Hope to hear from you

  41. Joanna Woolens

    Hello,

    My name is Joanna, and I am so grateful for an opportunity as this one to be considered for. I have a strong and natural passion for the performing arts since childhood, and acting is a part of my career aspirations. My family and friends are great supporters and encourage me to take the chance to try to reach my life goals. God has shown me so many signs that have opened my eyes to a clearer vision. We have all been blessed with special gifts, and my purpose is not only to reach my goals, but it is to inspire others through my gifts. I may have financial hardships, however God has blessed me to have great faith, and wonderful people in my circle. I believe that this would be a great opportunity for me to make my dreams a reality. Feel free to email me to review my resume. Thank you for your time. God bless 🙂

  42. Miranda Thibodeau

    Hi,
    My name is Miranda Thibodeau and my dream is to become an actress. I have been in plays many times, but I do know that being in a movie or television series is very different. The reason I love acting is that when you are acting and you are playing a role, you are no longer you, you no longer have you life and past, you are the character you are playing, you have there life and past. You get to have a different like while acting, you get to be someone else, and there is almost always a happy ending. When you are acting it is not you people are judging it is your character, you don’t have to worry about people saying they don’t like you because they don’t know you, all they know and see is the character you are playing. All my life I have had an above average memory. When I was younger my mother would brag to everyone and have me say things backwards and quote people from movies to impress her friends, of course I absolutely loved it because I love movies and impressing people. Another thing I love about acting is that acting gives you opportunities to go different places and meet new people and try new things. I live in a small town in Maine and everyone always told me I would never make it, I would never be good enough and that there was no chance for me to achieve my dreams with where I live and what I look like. I am a little over weight but I have been losing weight and plan to keep losing weight. The one thing that I keep in mind when I think about losing weight is my future and hopefully an acting career. Tonight I talked with my mom and we actually sat down and really discussed my future in acting. My mother and I talked about how this is really what I want to do and that this is the only thing I truly love and can see myself doing. We are planning on getting head shots very soon and she told me that if this is really what I would like to do then she would bring me to New York for an audition. Her telling me that she would bring me to New York for an auditions blows me away and really shows me that she really supports and believes in me to do this. Just today we were talking about how we are struggling and don’t know what we are going to do. So for her to do this for me is out of this world. I have never been in a movie or commercial or TV show, but I do have experience in acting in plays. Ever since I was little I have loved acting, I would watch a TV show or movie and then act like one of the characters until bedtime. When people are at the age of four or five they want to become singers or princesses or fashion designers, but I have always wanted to be an actress, I have always wanted to make it far because I have seen how much my family have worked and struggled with money and I guess I would like to make it big to help them out so they aren’t so stressed out because it really hurts me to see the ones I love that way. Whenever I think about acting, I get this excited, overjoyed, and just beyond happy feeling. When I act I feel at home, I feel like I have finally found where I belong and I have found where I’m suppose to be and what I’m suppose to be doing, it is the only time where I feel truly happy. I have been bullied and felt unwanted because of some people in school, mostly because I’m overweight, but with acting I get to forget about that and I don’t have to worry about it. I guess the only way to describe it is that the only time I really feel confident and safe is when I am acting. Acting means everything to me and I don’t know what I would do without it, acting is my world. Okay, enough of the gushy stuff. I think it might be time I tell you some things about me you might actually want to hear.
    Full name: Miranda Lee Thibodeau.
    Gender: Female
    Age: 14 ( I do not look fourteen, when I tell people I’m fourteen they don’t believe me and say I look between 16 and 18. Once a man gave me money and asked me to go buy him a drink, of course I said no and told him my age, he apologized but told me he still didn’t believe me.)
    Race: Caucasian
    Hair: Color: Medium brown. Length: down to the middle of my chest.
    Eyes: A mix of gray and blue.
    Height: 5′ 3″
    Body size: as I said I am a bit overweight but I’m trying to change that.
    I do not know what you are looking for but this is who I am. I would love to play any character you would like me to be, if you even want me. I am openminded, as this is my dream and I would do anything to live it. This is my dream and I would love it if you would Email me and let me know, even if it is a no it would mean a lot to me so I’m not waiting on the edge of my seat to find out. I know its a lot to ask, but if you do that and if it is a no then maybe let me know what it is about me that makes it a no. I know you may not have time and might not care, but it would mean the world to me. Thank you and I hope to be hearing from you!!!
    Bye!

    To be honest I really dont want to simply just act, but I would rather make my family proud. I am a young black male, who is the their mid 20’s, 6 ft1 tall with an athletic build. I Bach degree in Comp and Design. Acting is one thing, but taking on, as well as becoming the character, is what I believe is the key.

  44. Nora Angeles

    Hello I am 18 years old, and 5ft tall but i can walk in a 4 inch heel (if needed to). I haven’t done anything big, but i can act. I’ve only been in school plays of mine such as Cinderella and Mulan and messed around with my friends and family. I am willing to cut, dye, lose or gain anything that is asked for. No will not be an answer from me. I can do this. I am hispanic but i do not speak or write spanish. I will be able to anything that is asked for and that is given to me, i am not picky, i just know i can do this.

    I am currently serving in the military and my time has come to either re-enlist to continue my career in the military or to actually do something that I used to love, but afraid of the failure aspect. I love Oprah and I love all of Tyler Perry’s work and it would be a blessing to work with them both. Not to mention my mom loves Oprah. Please give me the chance of a lifetime to fulfill my dreams.

  46. Leebert Michel

    Greeting and many Blessing’s, My name is Leebert Michel. I am a senior at High School in NJ. I major in Vocal performance and am a great singer. Many times I find myself venturing out into many different tasks. Tasks such as acting in a musical theater piece or featuring in a role that talented TV production majors are shooting. I mainly just want to step outside of my comfort zone and show people theany talents that I have and the hard work that I am willing to put in for the things that I love. All I ask for a chance w/o the Sob story and past upbringing. Thank you and have a Blessed Evening

  47. LeDreeka Robertson

    Hello there Im a 31 yr old african american woman & I would absolutely love to be a part of any production created by a power house duo of Oprah Winfrey & Tyler Perry I can hardly find the words to express how badly I’ve always wished I could at least audition for one of Tyler Perry’s stage plays i know in my heart I could ace an audition because I always give 100% in anything I’m given a chance at. I’m a Louisiana native I currently live in Houston but I had a very southern upbringing which explains the character within me I’m serious & business minded but I also have the funny side of me being raised by my great aunt I’ve seen & heard lots of hilarious things & let me tell you those things stuck with me so often I find myself making people laugh just being my every day self so please allow me the opportunity to go after my true calling even as a kid I felt like I was supposed to be in entertainment. I’m a court clerk & I’m thankful I have that job but every day I go to work I think to myself that I’m letting my dreams pass me by because the responsible part of me was afraid to step away from my desk & step out on faith again I respect both professionals careers you guys are amazing

  48. Mrs Thomas

    I believe that I am the best for the job. Even tho I have never act a day in my life I BELIEVE THAT I AM A NATURAL!!!!!!!!!!! I work hard at everything and I am a very fast learner. You will not be disappointed. I grow up as a spoiled brat which means I was the girl that had everything growing up, and now that I am a grown adult with my own family I can differently relate to NOT HAVING. I believe that this would be a great opportunity for me to show the world what I am made of and I know that under you guys wing WE will be unstoppable.

    Thank You in advance!!!!!

    Hello my name is Sana and I am 11years old. I think this is a blessing just being able to make this comment on this website. I admire Mr.Perry for giving us an opportuniy to cast for these kind of roles. I know that collaborating with Oprah Winfrey is going to make it even better. I’m just praying that I get a chance to audition. I act silly and dance around the house all the time. When I’m not busy me and my brother act out skits all the time.

  51. S'marii King

    Hi! My name is Omika and I am sending this comment in reference to the roles that are available for Tyler Perry’s new sitcom “The Haves and the Have Nots.” I have a 19 month old daughter who I would like to allow to audition for any role that is available for babies. My daughter’s name is S’marii Unik King. I have noticed S’marii’s talent since I brought her home. Some children have to go to classes in order to become perfect for acting roles on television, however, S’marii has a natural talent that astounds everyone no matter where she goes. She has been humming songs since 6 or 7 months as well as dancing. She is very musically inclined. I first noticed this when my younger child had given her a plastic flute. S’marii instantly put it to her mouth and began to blow rocking back and forth as if this was something she had been doing forever. The next incident occurred when I was at her grandmother’s house. Her grandfather was playing the harmonica. S’marii immediately attempted to retrieve the harmonica from her grandfather. It was at this point, when he gave it to her, for a moment, it kind of slipped my mind that she actually had it until seconds later when she began to blow like she had the wind of a tornado. I could not believe that a then only 12 month old could even get a sound out of an instrument of that kind. I began to pay close attention to her and her talents. As the days go on, I discover more and more that she does on a talent level. Earlier today, I sat on the sofa watching television when I was interrupted by the sound of a toddler cry. I glanced and noticed S’marii laying on the floor with her hands over her eyes, I jumped up to see what was wrong but when she looked up at me she began to smile. That’s when my other daughter told me that S’marii was just playing. That’s when I said, “enough is enough, i’m putting you on television.” I was not shocked because she is always acting around the house but I decided to get on the computer to research casting calls for children and this was one of the options that came up. I know that my child has a gift, her personality is so different therefore, I am looking for the first opportunity available to get her noticed because at this age kids just don’t do the things she does. It doen’t matter what she does, you can ask her to do what she just did and she will. I think her trying out for one of Tyler Perry’s movies or sitcoms will be the best opportunity because his work is positive and based soley on real life family situations.
    Thank You for listening……
    S’marii’s mother

  53. Sadia Imran

    This appears to be a great collaboration on TV. I would like to be a part of it because I am sure I have talents that can add something unique to the show already so unique. I do not go for something if I know that I am not capable of doing. But I am confident that sometimes it is a good thing to step out a little to see a little further. I can’t win it if I am not in it.
    I would love to be a role model for the younger generation for someone who is always told otherwise. I want to be in front of the camera not just to explore myself, but also to show the world what I am capable of doing as I am full of unique surprises.

  55. Alyssa Whitaker

    Well hello!

    I’m only submitting a reply because I know you will be looking for my daughter Alyssa, if you’re looking for personality with the greatest talent and potential. Alyssa is 4’2″ and you wouldn’t believe the small package that this abundance of talent comes in. It’s her dream to be on TV entertaining, and it would only be my dream to help her along. She has already won a modeling contract and has been signed as a “new face”. Entertaining is her passion and of course she’s bound to be on someone’s stage, on someone’s TV, or in someone’s magazine, why don’t you be the first to snatch her up while the snatching is good.

    Thank you for your consideration,

I also want to be picked because I believe in myself and I believe I have the talen. It’s one of my goals to become an actor. I would be really happy if I had the opportunity to act and be on tv. I would really be happy because I could help my mom with the money that I earned and I now she and my whole family would be proud of me for doing something they never did or thought about doing. But if you guys don’t choose me I wouldn’t be mad I’ll just try out for something else because I know it’s hard to choose with so many other people wanting to get picked but I really think you guys should choose me

  57. Braggie Anne Mabry

    Hello, My name is Braggie Anne Mabry, I am sending in a reply about the audition. I don’t have a particular part I would like to audition for, but any part will do, I here to help out. I am a 52 year old Black woman who is very attracted and is willing to try a part that might fit my character, I am a wife, and a mother of 2 a daughter who is 26 and a son who is 28 and 3 grand babies, so there is nothing in my life that would hold me back from being a success. Even though I do not have any acting experience, but on the other hand I am willing to learn and do what ever it takes to land a role. I catch on pretty easily, and I am a person who listen and when It necessary I will follow instead of leading. I feel like with my character and the kind of woman I am, I know if I had a role there will be success.

  59. Dion Davis

    The one thing I’ve noticed that is consistant is that whether it be black or latin actors there always seems to be a handful of the same actors.
    I’d like to be a positive part of the process of such a good (do they ever do bad?) venture.
    Please contact me if interested.
    Thank you! Dion

    Hi, my name is Ashley Felix. I’m 18 years old, female and African American. I haven’t the slightest clue which role I would like to audition for and to be honest, I don’t have a preference. I would just love to be given the opportunity to experience audition for this show. I’ve always loved acting and as much as I hate to use this cliche, it’s always been my dream to become an actress.

  61. Porshia Eubanks

    To whom it may concern,
    My name is Porshia Eubanks. I’m 20 years old with a hard working personality. I’m very excited about taking on new tasks and showing people that I can do anything that I put my mind to. Acting has been one of dreams since I was a little kid and I’m dedicated and determined to make my dreams come true. I know that its going to take some time to make it in this industry but I’m willing to put in the hardwork. I’m not doing this because I’m bored. I’m doing this because this is something that I love doing. I can relate to some of Mr. Perry’s films because I have been in situations like those. Thanks for your time and patience. I hope to hear from you soon. Have a blessed day.

This television series has sparked my interest, and I would love to be a part of it.

Please feel free to contact me

  65. Rhomona Gill

    WELL.
    My name is Rhomona Gill,17 years of age hailing from the beautiful island of Barbados in the eastern Caribbean.
    Being from such a location has caused me over time to miss casting opportunities and auditions in the states but i won’t give up until im given a break.
    I LOVE watching the on stage play’s and at the end of each,i usually pick a character and perform as him/her while the movie is going on,i found it to be a great role playing game for me to do at home. But if i was ever given the chance to be on set,it would be life changing.. Being given this chance would be life changing as acting is my life. I’m literally too dramatic for my mother to tell when im being me or being mean haha

    Im very interested in this opportunity,thank you.

  68. Hannah fullbrook

    Hey, my name is Hannah fullbrook and i am a 14 year old girl with blond hair and blue/green eyes. I would like to be in this show because it is my dream to be on tv and performing. I can’t deny that I live in england, London, enfield but my parents are so committed to helping my dream come true as being an actress that they would drop everything to Come to America for as Long as needed. Please concider me to be apart of one of the greatest movies of all time I would be eternitally grateful. I understand millions of people have the same dream as I do so I know that it is a long shot but I believe in myself and I know that I am good enough. Even being an extra would be a great chance to start my career as I want to start my career as an actress straight away and as young as possible. I do drama and music for gcse (sadly not dance as there wasn’t a corse running) and I can play the guitar and the piano. I can sing and dance and act. I may not be the best at them as I said but if I get the chance I would have non stop lessons on them all until I was the best or at least amazing. Please give me the chance. My life is so boring now as I realised when my mum considered I write an auto biography but when I started to it sounded so boring as all I do in my life is go to school learn come home practice singing, dancing, acting and revise lessons then eat dinner watch tv (other people making something of there lives while I sit and do nothing) and then go to bed. (on a Monday I do cheerleading and I have done for 6 years at a squad called sapphire elite. I am quite flexible being able to do back bend kick overs and back hand springs.) I just want to do something with my life. Please help me make my dream come true. I would be up for any role. I am really good at learning lines and I would love a part with lines but I would be happy with whatever role I got as I would be just so happy to work on a tv set. Please concider me but I understand if you don’t choose me as I am one of millions. Thank you for your time and I am sorry this is so long.

    Hello, I am a 52 year old Wife, Mother, Grandmother, and all my life I have work in the world for different company and other people doing things that I did not like to do, but done them any way to help my husband provide for the children, the children are grown now and I have a lot of time on my hands to do what ever it take to help me do the things that I would like to do, I would not have to worry about not been at a certain place or time because all I have is time. I live in Lawrencevill Ga, and since I spent all my life raising children to get them all grown up, now it time for me to do me, to have a chance to be on tv will be my dream come true, but through life I realize it not what you know all the time it’s sometimes who you know. I am willing to learn what to do and how to do it, I listen well, and I don’t have a problem with follow instruction. Before NENE LEAKS became the popular woman she is today I had the opportunity to meet her, she use to come in the Wal-geens where I use to work in Duluth Ga as a cashier, she was a everyday woman now I consider her as been famous to the world. I see my self getting that kind of opportunity to be able to live my dream come true.
