Casting roles for a new scripted TV pilot from ABC Family
Looking for talented PLUS SIZE kids to play 15 - 16 year olds
Actors may be older but must be believable as 15 - 16 year olds
[WILHELMINA] Significantly overweight. Age 16, a rebel. Intelligent, ballsy, funny and opinionated. She hides her vulnerability behind her humor and brash attitude. Dresses in a tomboy-ish, punk style. Doesn’t let people get too close, and is definitely not thrilled when her rich parents send her to a fat camp for the summer. MUST SING WELL.
[AMBER] Age 16. A beautiful size 12 – (or thereabouts -- could be a 14 or even 16 depending on the person)The skinniest and hottest girl at fat camp, this teen is curvy, but in her own warped view, she considers herself very heavy. Amber comes off as superficial, obsessed with weight and appearance -- but she’s incredibly vulnerable underneath.
[BRIAN] Overweight. Age 16. A cute, sensitive indie musician with glasses. Open and friendly, with a charmingly self-deprecating sense of humor. He feels an immediate bond with Wilhelmina, but he wastes most of their summer together pining after Amber. However, when he finally does get a chance with Amber, he realizes that it's actually Wilhelmina he really wants. MUST PLAY GUITAR, PIANO or DRUMS.
[JANEANE] Overweight. Age 15 or 16. Her style is goth/Renaissance Faire. A shy bookworm, Janeane expresses herself through LARPing (Live Action Role Play.) Janeane instantly admires Wilhelmina, and the two become partners in pranking Amber, whom they mutually dislike. Later, however, when Wilhelmina befriends Amber, Janeane feels rejected and betrayed.
[PHILIP] Very heavy – the heaviest kid at camp (or in the running.) Age 15, Philip’s sweet, super friendly, a little needy. Also obsessed with sex and giving advice. A severe asthmatic, he has trouble completing the rigorous exercise regiment at the camp -- but he keeps plugging away, undaunted and unfazed.
[CAITLIN] This camper is the leader among the thinner girls at fat camp. Cool and confident (despite her slight overweight.) She hides some dark secrets beneath her confident exterior.
STORY LINE: A reluctant participant at a summer camp for plus sized kids, defiantly overweight WILHELMINA clashes with AMBER, the size 12 hottie who lords it over the bigger girls. But during the course of the summer, the two sworn enemies begin to realize they have more in common than they ever realized…
