  3. Tayler Harris

    My names is Tayler Harris
    I’m 18, will be 19 on September 16th.
    I am African American.
    I can sing various genres of music such as jazz, r&b, pop, indie etc.
    I also act, read music and I also have perfect pitch.
    I’ve been performing since I was little and started doing musical theater in 8th grade. Since then I have played various main roles in musicals such as Wizard of Oz Grease, Anything Goes and Hairspray in which I played Motormouth Maybelle and then went on to be nominated and win the “2012 5th Avenue Theatre Award” for Outstanding Performance by an Actress In A Supporting Role out of 100 schools in the state of Washington. Earlier this year I sang the national anthem for Ex Secretary of Defense Robert Gates at the Marshall Lecture in Vancouver, WA. Recently I just finished playing one of the lead roles in a world premiere musical in Downtown Portland, OR called “Ablaze: An A Capella Musical Thriller” which had a very successful run, won several Portland Theatre Awards and we just finished making the original album cast recording for the show.

    I would love to be considered for one of the main and or supporting roles in Tyler Perry’s new show on Oprah’s network. I have admired his work on both the stage and in films since I was little and he is one of my favorite playwrights/screenwriters today for African American performers.

    Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey are incredible and talented people in the world and the difference that they make for many American lives out there is not only incredible but its also recognizable all around the the world,it also inspires people like me to want to work for and with them,I am a young black male from South Africa born in 3 April 1993,I always wanted to be an actor and for my friends and other circumstances it seems more than impossible for me to work or even meet someone like Tyler Perry let alone come to a place as far as America,but for someone who watches a lot of Tyler Perry movies and is a big fan of JESUS CHRIST and his miracles,nothing really seems impossible to me,unfortunately the show “Haves and Have Nots” doesn’t play here in South Africa so I don’t really know whats going on in the show but from my experience with watching Tyler Perry movies and from the messages that he sends to my email,I can say that the show is one that offers hope and talks about relationships.I think if you could give a South African like me a chance to be part of the show then maybe the local stations will be interested to play the show in support of me their own and also watching you guys as well,trust me South Africa knows about you guys please show them that you recognize their support too by helping young aspiring actors who are still trying to find their way into the acting business,For someone like me to join a show like yours would be a great opportunity not only for me or the show but also for other young South Africans out there who have BIG dreams like mine…My email is kamdl@ovi.com,I already have a passport because I believe that I am meant to be an Actor and I am meant to do it with Tyler Perry,I also believe that as much as it may seem that he will be helping me,I will also be helping him.

  8. DeAnthony Evans

    Hello my name is DeAnthony Evans
    I’m excited at the fact I even found this, but I want to start off by saying this show is so awsome!
    Just the thought of the opportunity of being a cast member on this show is surreal . Also the fact that Tyler Perry’s work is so profound, it’s a challenge I would love to take on in my passion for acting. I’ve been acting for sometime now and I’ve been blessed enough to take on a few projects in this profession, but nothing major. I’ve just been waiting for that chance to show my stuff and help benefit the amazing world of acting. This show could definitely be my outlet because I believe I have what it takes to join the excellent cast of this show and I want to show it. I know first hand that actions speak louder then words and if I’m given this opportunity you won’t regret it. I Know there are millions of other people out there saying the samething or doing the same thing, but the difference between me and them is i just don’t want the show to make me, I want to make the show….Literally:)
    Thanks for this opportunity

    Hi, My name is Mamello Marite, I’m 14 yrs(going on fifteen) old and I live in South Africa. It has always been my dream to travel the world to sing,dance and act and I believe Mr. Tyler Perry can make my dreams come true. I know that these auditions are mainly for people in the states but the best advice I’ve ever received is:”Follow your dreams, keep trying and you never know… They might just come true.” And this exactly what I plan to do. I’m very determined and dedicated to grow in the craft of acting, this is why I should least be considered, because I don’t dissappoint and I always deliver. I’m not shy and will accept any challenge that comes my way. I have the passion(you can take as many acting classes as you want but if you don’t have passion, what’s it worth?) and the drive to act and here are some things about me that you might want to know: I have a crazy and bubbly personality, I’m very outspoken, I learn quickly and I’m very easy going.

    Height: 5 ft 3
    Nationality: South African

I watch the show and I can put myself in different roles. I have walked in several of the actors/actresses parts in my life. Determination even if no one is cheering for you, is the motivation I see in this series. I believe in God, and love the fact that he is acknowledge. I can do all things and that is what I stand on. I walk out to make my dreams reality. Later in life I will walk out others dreams to be reality.

    Thank You,

  35. Jazmyne

    Hello my name is Jazmyne. I am 22 yrs of age and I am
    a very optimistic person. I have faith that one day I will
    be successful and in the public eye as I always dreamed.
    I have so many dreams and I believe that one day each
    and every one of them WILL come true. I believe that I am
    the best pick for the Tyler Perry Haves and Have Nots & also the
    OWN network for two reasons one acting is what is I do it’s my
    life. I love to act out different parts of movies and shows and
    while I’m acting I always say to myself like man that SHOULD be me.
    I know the public eye would love me. I just have that face. I’m very out
    going. Some times bi feel like a human television cause I’m always
    repeating actors and actresses on tv moving my hands, head neck
    and all just like them. I feel I’m a female Tyler Perry cause I can so
    act like the next person in a hot second. I also have the ability to
    to be emotional or funny when the time comes. My second reason
    why I feel I’m the best pick for the OWN netowrk is because not only do
    I want to be in the public eye but also because I have a VERY BIG
    heart and I want to make a difference in the world. My main goal in life
    is to have my own talk show and mainly focus young girls. I have a
    story behind me that I would love to share with young females walking in the
    same path that I once was. I want them to be able to look up to me
    and and know that they are strong and there is no reason in the world
    for a man to put his hands on a woman. I want little girls to know
    Its okay to be secure with their bodies. I want little girls to go that NO matter
    where she comes from just remember to always follow their dreams
    I come from a small place in Charleston WV where almost NOBODY makes
    It out but guess what I have faith that one day I will be on the big screen
    Acting, hosting my own talk show and also be the editor of my own book.
    I believe I AM THE BEST pick for the public eye.

  38. Anthony Beard

    I would first like to say that both Oprah and Tyler Perry are great influences and inspirations in my life, so it would be both an honor and a privilege to work on what I believe will be both ground breaking and historical… with two great minds like Oprah and Tyler how could you ever go wrong ?
    I’m a 43 year old black male who is an aspiring actor who looks and passes for some one in their mid 20’s I have the photos available as well if needed. I realized I had a natural knack for acting
    When I auditioned for a lead role in a new jersey based play called “Mama’s Family” .
    I prayed about it first during a time when I wanted to transist from music to
    Acting.
    I told myself that if I got a lead role totally opposite from who I am in real life, that would prove to myself that I was capable of acting. And thanks to the grace of God it was a success and I wound up getting a lead role…praise God! Lol
    As you can see it still blesses me to think of that exciting and wonderful opportunity.
    Again, I’m praying that the doors will open and God will grant me the favor to work with and for two of my favorite mentors…Mr. Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey.
    For me the experience would be both enlightening as well as magical.

  39. Tonya Dean

    I feel as if I would be a good actress if given a part in the Have and Have Nots, because I know how it is to have and then have not!!!! I have been through a great deal of struggles in life and with the Lord’s help I overcame…I have been a single mom and have been proverty stricken, I have had the best of both worlds….So my acting would actually be a re-living my own life. I am the type that can turn my emotions on and off, I can cry one minute, and laugh the next, if needed. If given the chance to audition I promise you that you would’nt regret it.

  40. Prince L. Miller

    For starters, when I was a kid growing up my mother had her own Television show in Beloit, WI entitled “The Laura Miller Show” in the early 90’s to about 2007; it was only local so nothing big. I was feature on her show a few times growing up, but never had the time to do it regularly because of grade school and living with my father from time to time. I am currently in my senior year to complete my Associates Of Applied Arts Degree in Visual Communications; and the career field(s) I would like to go into after graduation are Video Production & Motion Graphics. Besides my college major, I really want to be an actor. It has been a dream of mine since being on my mothers TV show. I own a huge movie collection and can recite lines from numerous movies & TV shows. Since I am a video major I have created numerous videos, some for school related projects and others were just for personal fun with friends and family. I have written numerous scripts, directed, filmed, & edited all of my own stories. Being a video major has made me want to take my talents to the next level and all I need is that one opportunity. With that being said, I believe I will be a perfect addition to add to the cast because of my ambition, motivation & acting skills. Please see the Links listed below to view some of my latest work. Thank you for your time and hope to hear from you soon.

  45. Muriel Cyrus

    I would like to submit my photo and entertainment resume for consideration to audition for The Haves and the Have Nots.

    I am an actress and songwriter living in Las Vegas, Nv. One of my originals songs won the Budweiser Showdown a contest for songwriters. I was in the running for a recording contract at the time. Another group went on to win the final competition. I also write my own monologues and short skits. I got burned out and did not perform for about 10 years. It has been hard to get back on track. I have short skits and songs that are just sitting and I do not want to see them end up in the trash. It is an artists worst fear, I believe. I love the twists and turns of your new soap and would like to know where to send my photo and resume for consideration.

    Thank you,

    Muriel

  49. Kian'na Robinson

    Hello, my name is Kian’na Robinson and I really admire Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry. I’m 14 and every since I was young I’ve always told myself I am going to one day be in a Tyler Perry movie or play. Also in the 6th grade for black history month I did a project on Oprah Winfrey and every since I heard her story of her life and all the hardships she went through, and how she is standing strong now really admires me, because that goes to show that even though you were born in the ghetto or was abused you can still rise, and do or be what you want to be.

  50. Bayyinah Fuller

    Hello Mr.Perry And Miss Winfrey,
    My name is Bayyinah and Iam a 29 yr.old single mother who’s intrested in getting my 4yr.old daughter into acting. My reasons for doing so is because she came to me and asked “mommy can i be on t.v. with Mr.Brown!?!”lol I promised her I will see what i can do so here I am! I noticed my daughter was full of talent at the age of 1 when I was told by my family and friends that they only come to visit me to see my daughter because they couldnt believe how funny and smart she was for her age and how she had her own personality and sense of humor. Even at the age of 4 the things i watch her do impresses me more and more and encourages me to put her talent to use because she def. has what it takes to be on t.v with “Mr.Brown” Recently I watched her sit on the phone with her dad and pretend to cry and put a whole story together about how she was teased at school, the part that amazed me was as she was telling him the story she began pretending to cry, but as she was cring she was laughing at her self because she knew the story wasnt true but wanted to see her dads reaction! She was so good at it that she really convenced her dad that the story was true. After seeing that i realized that it was officially official my baby def. has what it takes to play any role that may come her way.I immediately thought oh yes Mr.Perry def. needs to see her in action lol…..I love all of your movies and work and really hope that one day God will bless my daughter with the chance to reveil her talent and let everyone see how intelligent and amazing she is.I can honestly say i have never came across a 4 yr.old like her in my life and that right there is why she is amazing and deserves the oppurtunity to show you all what she’s all about.. I thankyou for your time and oppurtunity to allow me to submitt this request/comment. I hope to hear back from you all sometime in the near future. Thanku again for reading this and for your time…….Bayyinah Fuller

    It is good to read about how well the first season of your production “The Have And The Have Nots” is doing. It would be my pleasure to act in your production in a supporting role. I hereby attach my resume and three photos as I wish to apply for the role of an actor. Right from my childhood, I was inspired by the acting talent that the Hollywood stars displayed on television. The glamour world has also contributed to my passion for acting. For all my school days, I have been involved in plays. I have also played numerous supporting roles in local plays in my hometown of Charleston, SC. I now reside in Atlanta, and I am looking to land a bigger role in “The Haves And The Have Nots.”

    I am a versatile and intensely committed actor and would love the opportunity to take on this challenging role. I believe I can bring a unique and dynamic quality of my portrayal as an actor for your production.

    I thank you for considering my letter and I hope to get a positive reply from you.

    Yours sincerely,
    Erica Rochelle Thompson

  67. Sheree Ashley

    Hello,

    My name is Sheree Ashley, a product of Chicago’s south side (Robert Taylor Projects), and knows both sides of the coin (haves and have not’s). Growing up in a poor era in Chicago, and rising above to successfully obtain work and achieve what a lot of people where I am from have refused to do.

    I feel I would be able to help maintain a viewers choice show and bring in other viewers that may not be aware of the show.

    I am in my mid-50’s, black, and would be a perfect cast in season 2. Also, I feel this hit series would be a match for me.

  68. Jamaal Graham

    My name is Jamaal Graham. Im am originally from Harlem, NYC but currently am living upstate NY in a city called Poughkeepsie. My life has been driven by music for more than a dozen years. I am 28 years old and i love to perform. I love to sing, rap, and act but more than anything its all about entertaining. I have a wife and 3 kids and have been a member of the NY Army National Guard since 2006 (Military Police). Everybody that knows me in my daily life and professional life knows that i have a great passion for music and it is a huge part of who I am. I love to sing a lot of oldies from Marvin Gaye and The Temptations. I have experience on stage from working on my own solo musical projects as well as collaborations with other artists in NY and overseas. When the opportunity is presented, I plan to make an impact on the music industry and encourage others young or old to follow their dreams, as I continue to do everyday. Whether producing my own songs at home or working with other artists, music i a part of my everyday life. To sing and perform is simply me doing what i love to do everyday, and to show the world how much music means to me is all I ever wanted.

    I would be a great asset to the cast, I have experienced more obstacles in life than people twice my age and that gives me a humble but well rounded out look for everything. I am an outgoing person, i will light any room i enter.

One of my friends told me I’m the new chris tucker. I know first hand bout not having, I was born in Florida but lived in the island of jamaica. I just want a shot of auditioning to see if I can make the world laugh. I’m my funniest in dialogue between others. All I want is a try out if this longshot

  72. Lori Nicole

    My name is Lori Nicole and I know that this would an importunity of a lifetime to be on a movie as cool and thrilling as Tyler Perry’s. This is not a spontaneous act for me to want to act in fact I’ve wanted to be an actress, model, and singer for quite some time however acting was my first love and passion. Like many other applicants I am a huge fan of Tyler Perry’s. I have loved his work since the Madea Plays and am always left laughing and in awe after each movie. I love learning a new lesson every time I watch one of his movies. However my favorite part of the movies isn’t just the plot and characters but the behind the scenes of how everything works and what the cast has to say about working with one another. I l love watching bloopers, behind the scenes and reading the tweets of the cast, directors, and produces of how much hard work, time, and effort was put into each episode. I love that the most. I am a raw talent and I am always looking for new ways to flex acting skill and grow as a performer. I want to be a part of the Tyler Perry movie experience because I am a hard worker and it’s difficult to make me quit something, and also because I feel that I can portray whatever would be required of me perfectly. Thank you.
