I always wanted to pursue an acting carter but don’t know where to start. I love Tyler Perry movies he is a genius and an inspiring person and I’d love to start off with no one other then Mr. Tyler Perry. I believe I have what it takes to be an upcoming dominat African American actor which I believe Hollywood needs more faces of just origin. I’m 5’11 210lbs athletic body type very in shape I work out a lot and live in the gym I’ve also thought about trying to model as well. Evenhough I have no experience in acting I have been told I should look into because of how crazy and goofy I act around the house and can be serious within seconds. I was also told to look into modeling as well. It would be an honor to work with Mr. Tyler Perry to get a jump start on an adventurous career. I hope to hear back from Tyler Perry Productions. 0 Reply January 1, 2014

Donterrius Moy (DJ)As a kid, I remember watching Tyler Perry movies all day that my parents began to tell me that I walked, talked and actually looked like him. My name is Donterrius Moy. I am 23 years old and I love to act and sing. I love making people laugh! I am a Christian and I am not afraid to proclaim my first love which is Jesus Christ! My heart for acting and singing started with Tyler Perry. I remember after watching his plays as a child I would turn off the television and turn on all the lights in the living room, turn on my head phones, act and then sing a song on the middle of my acting. I believe I should be chosen to be apart of the cast because I am people friendly and acting and singing is a gift that God gave me. I believe this is mine!!! I claim it right now!! Thank you Oprah and Mr. Perry for this chance of a lifetime!! I’ll be waiting on my email!! God bless you and I love you with the Love of God! -1 Reply December 27, 2013
LaKoya Shaneen HamptonHello, My name is LaKoya Hampton and I am 18 years old. It would mean the world to me to be a part of this amazing production. There are not many roles available for lesbian African American females, and maybe I am testing my luck because Tyler Perry’s productions are religious and most people think that being gay is a sin. There was always something about his plays and movies that inspired me as a kid to chase my dreams, he made me feel like anything is possible. Growing up I had a very unfortunate childhood and I always escaped to my natural talent of acting as an outlet. It gave me hope when I had nothing else to look forward to, and when I pray to God and ask him to lead me on the path he has laid out for me my passion for acting grows even more. Even if I am not considered for a part in this production I will keep on chasing this dream until the day I die because I know it is meant for me. You should consider me for this part because I know what hard work is. I had to grow up fast and play many roles a child shouldn’t have to play like a mother to my siblings. I have been to many places and seen many characters which has made me versatile. I am a team player and committed to doing whatever it takes until the outcome is near perfect. I have participated in many on stage productions and have taken some theatre classes in college. I am willing to play any role acting is my life. My prayers will truly be answered if I get this opportunity. 0 Reply December 27, 2013

Jeffrey ThomasBeing an actor or actress is a true gift, a talent. It something that should come as natural as possible so that the character being portrayed through the lens can directly associate with the person viewing. I feel that I have the talents and qualifications necessary to be a successful member of the cast of your sitcom. Conveying emotions through acting is an area I’m very interested in and I am currently pursuing this passion through being a EXTRA of “The James Brown Movie, GET ON UP” . Many on the set have said I am a “natural” and have potential to go far in this business. I am a people person. I love to be around people and people love to be around me. Some have told me my personality is magnetic and that they are drawn to my genuineness. Smiling is contagious and I smile a lot. A smile is something everyone likes and I share plenty with everyone. With me what you see is what you get. I’m the real deal. I’m flexible and work well with others. 0 Reply December 27, 2013
Kim MillerHello Mr. Perry, My name is Kimberly Miller and I’ve currently relocated to San Diego, California from Pennsylvania. I have been acting and singing all of my life and have been instrumental in supporting the youth of my community and my own children in the arts. However, it has always been my dream to have this opportunity to audition for a role in a weekly television project and to be able to audition for Love Thy Neighbor would be an opportunity of a lifetime. I’m currently an elementary school teacher with a degree in Elementary Education and in July 2014 I will finish my master’s degree in Supervisory and Leadership along with two additional specializations in Early Childhood Education and K-12 General Studies; so I’m no stranger to hard work and dedication. Again I’m extremely excited for this experience and believe that if given the opportunity I would be an asset to your team of actors. Thank you for your time and I hope to hear from you and your team. Kimberly Miller 0 Reply December 27, 2013

Michele MulloyHeight: 5 ‘6″ Eye color: Hazel Skin complexion: Olive Weight: 165 Hair: White Age: 57I always thought acting would be a personal challenge to become a character described on paper.

What I could bring is a lot of personal experience, the ability to follow direction, I am a fast learner, authentic, serious but have a sense of humor.

Desiree ThomasHello, I am Desiree. I’ll keep this short and sweet; I am 20 lovely/ beautiful years of age! I have always wanted to be considered for a role in a movie, show, or even a simple commercial. My whole life I have felt that I will become someone big and I feel I am at the prime age for being “discovered.” I’m smart, young, and have a passion for dancing, singing, and acting. I’m a triple threat. I’m also “African American” or as I like to say, black. Currently, I’m in my junior year of college and have had the opportunity of experiencing many different cultures and have traveled out of the country. These experiences have given me the opportunity to adapt to many different settings which I feel have shaped my acting abilities. It wouldn’t only benefit me to be considered, but also your production. Thank you for taking the time to read this and have a blessed day. Signed, your future shining star. 🙂 0 Reply December 25, 2013
Tamara WalcottI should be considered because I have a natural ability to make people laugh and impersonate others, the ability to become different people at the snap of a finger…. I have raw natural talent not to act but to become the character I’m wanting to be. My friends, family and total strangers who’ve seen me in action all say the same thing ” you need to work for Tyler Perry”…. I know I can become one of your main characters that can be marketed to jump from play to play to movie to movie , set to scene to make people think, laugh, love and fight for what ever it is they believe in. I was born and raised in the US Virgin Islands but currently reside in Bel Air Maryland. I have two beautiful kids one of which is a daughter I know will grow up to be better than me! A handsome supportive husband. I’m 30 years old this month and I know that this is my season. I’m going to work hard for you and give it all I have, I’m ready to take this workaholic personality as an Assistant Property Manger of a luxury apartment community in Towson from behind a desk, put me in front of an audience and I can guarantee you I will not let you down.

Gavin HardenMy name is Gavin Harden and my dream is to become a great actor. I’ve wanted to be an actor since I was 7 years old. This has been a really big dream of mine. My mother, father and I have tried to make this dream happen but unfortunately every opportunity we have come across has been a scam. Years have passed since then and I am now 20 years old. I attend Hampton University as a Theatre Major and Broadcast Journalism Minor. I can say that I have received a great deal of experience over the years by attending the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta GA, The Augusta Mini Theatre, some high school plays and classes, and Hampton plays. At Hampton I have performed in several plays and I have been in two short films. I am also proud to say that I have won a HUBY (Hampton Oscar) award for “Best New Comer”. I have participated in a comedy show at Hampton and surprisingly won that as well. So I guess you can say that God has been pretty good to me over the years. I think I would be a good candidate to be a part of this show because I am dedicated and determined. Everything I do I give 100% because acting is my passion. I love the whole concept of giving life to characters and to make the audience either love you or hate you because you put so much into it. I know and believe that I can do all things through Christ as long as I keep him first in my life. If given the opportunity I will surely not disappoint. 0 Reply December 22, 2013

I’m a very open, outspoken person and there’s no doubt In my mind that I can be whoever I choose to be. As I said previously I’m going to school for nursing and I’m doing really well. It’s just..I have a feeling I’m suppose to do more and be more in life. Not to say that nursing isn’t a good field because I’ve always wanted to help people, it’s just I feel as though I’m settling for something that may not be for me. I feel as though I should be much more than what I’m settling for. I come a good family and bring successful is not an option. I may not be the perfect match for any of the roles. I honestly just want to give it a try, I just want to see if I’m capable of doing something greater! Please give me a chance! I’m full of life with an awesome personality! Just trying to find my purpose in life! I think this may be it.Thank you:) 0 Reply December 4, 2013

I am a big fan of Tyler Perry I love the way he inspires peoples lives in most of his movies and plays has related to my life story.I was taken from my mom at the age of 2 because her abuse of drugs &was put in the system. I lived with my aunt for 18 years who treated me like her maid . I had to grow up a young age my mom passed at the age of 14 &i was told by my aunt not to cry at my own moms funeral . Much more that i can go on and on about. I’m not saying this for nobody to feel sorry for me, I am thankful for what i went through ,i might didn’t like it but it made me the strong woman i am today. I am auditioning not to get famous but to help people be inspired. I am talented and love to get the laugher and give inspiring messages out to people who aren’t lead I’m the right path or maybe even the ones thinking the right path is good but really the wrong destination .Being able to work with Tyler Perry would be awesome and a blessing. I will always remember him saying from his Madeas happy family play “You can’t never appreciate being up if you’ve never been down” he gave great inspiration through those words. 0 Reply December 3, 2013

Amy OverbyName: Amy Overby Age: 17 Height: 5’7 Weight: 135 Hair color: Brown Eye color: Green Ethnicity: WhiteTo be in a production like this would be the upmost exciting and most amazing thing for me. I have a love and passion for acting. I do a lot of small film work here in my home town, and I love every minute of it. Being able to be around a cast of very experienced actors/actresses is something that excites me! Getting to watch and learn even more from them. Getting to be apart of this production would be a dream. I love acting wether one or one million people see my performance. Getting to step out of my persona and become a completely different person and learn that person and become that person for a brief time is why I love acting so much. You can become and be anything. Acting is the most beautiful art. I always give my all on every production I do, no mater how big or small. Acting is my passion it’s my art, and being able to take it to the next level would be incredible. Thank you for the opportunity! 0 Reply November 26, 2013

I am seeking and opportunity to work with Mr. Tyler Perry on his new upcoming T.V. show, Love Thy Neighbor. I have a God given talent for acting and desperately hope for that dream to come true someday. Even though it has always been declared over my life that acting will never be a Career for me it’s a just fantasy world. But very similar to me Mr. Perry had a dream; a dream that was rejected, a dream that told would never be successful. Mr. Perry has always been my biggest inspiration. His work of Art had motivated me and apart from reading my Bible daily I check his Facebook for words of inspiration; Mr. Perry is the reason my dreams stay alive as I continue to dream. Despite of my struggle and pain, haven’t been for Mr. Perry Movies, Plays, and Television shows that have been of courage to me I can’t help but wonder where I would be. Regardless of being selected or not I am still thankful for Mr. Perry for giving the opportunity to local like myself who have a dream to become and actor or actress someday, I thanks for opening up door of opportunity to many like myself who have the same dream; again I thank you. 0 Reply November 21, 2013
