I have always wanted to become an actor. I took Barbizon classes when I was in my 20’s. I have worked with photographers and had a couple of small jobs. I did not have the confidence then to fully pursue a modeling or acting career. I am ready to start now and I’m excited to see where this venture will lead.

Hey, I'm Savannah! I recently moved to Charleston, South Carolina with my cat Vagabond. I love nature and adventure, and my favorite food is French fries. I began performing throughout my childhood in dance recitals, talent shows, plays, musicals, and chorus. As an adult I joined community theater and was cast in leading and supporting roles in both plays and musicals. I also joined a volunteer improv group, and was recently cast in an improv-based mystery dinner theater. I have experience learning very quickly and under pressure, as while working as a performer on a cruise ship, I was expected to memorize dance routines and song lyrics in a week or less. After leaving the cruise ship industry, I began performing in a band and as an independent artist and dancer. I have missed acting and am excited to return to that side of performance art. I am independently motivated, but enjoy collaboration, and work very well in groups. I understand that it's not about any individual, rather bringing an idea and vision to life. I get tremendous fulfillment from bringing emotions and experiences to the audience. Lets work together!

Ages 55-785'1"Non-union

I started out semi professionally in summer sock, upstate NY, in 1969. Did community theater before that. Up the Down Staircase I played the young girl who was in love with her teacher. I took professional acting lessons in NYC at the Acting Academy of NY near Carnegie Hall. I also took music lessons. In 1978 I lived in Santa Fe and played the role of Jeannie in Hair. In 1984, while 3 months pregnant, I was in Grease in Albuquerque which was directed by Frank Maio. He directed some Happy Days episodes and was the Dr in City Slickers at the beginning of the film. This was in Albuquerque. He wanted to cast me as Marti but someone who was connected to the theater made him give them the part. However, he told me to never give up on acting. I stopped acting until the mid 80’s when I auditioned for 1969 starring Robert Downey Jr., Keiffer Sutherland while living in Savannah. The director was Ernest Thompson who directed On Golden Pond. I got a speaking part but I suffered a medical emergency so I couldn’t accep. I remained close to the casting agent, Cynthia Stillwell and at the age of about 35 I was a stand in for one of the young actresses in Now and Then. I’m ready to return to TV and films

Columbia, South Carolina
Ages 55-605'10"Non-union

Christopher “CJ” Allen is a retired U.S. military Master Sergeant, husband, father, grandfather, suicide prevention advocate, and professional speaker whose life has been shaped by service, resilience, family, faith, and connection. CJ’s military journey spans more than 26 years of combined service in the U.S. Navy and South Carolina Army National Guard. His experiences took him from serving aboard the USS Wainwright to deploying to Iraq and eventually becoming a leader in military suicide prevention, resilience, and primary prevention. After retiring from uniformed service in 2025, he continued a mission that had become deeply personal: helping people recognize that their lives matter. That mission led CJ to launch Find the Next 6,000, a grassroots campaign focused on connection, belonging, hope, and reducing Veteran suicide—one person and one conversation at a time. He is an experienced suicide prevention trainer and advocate who has worked with military members, Veterans, families, communities, and organizations across the country. Away from his professional work, CJ is most proud of his family. He and his wife, Lisa, have built a life together spanning more than three decades, raising four children and welcoming a grandson. Those relationships—and the lessons learned through marriage, parenting, military deployments, career changes, loss, failure, success, and starting new chapters—have shaped the person he is today. CJ brings something to casting that cannot be rehearsed: lived experience. He is comfortable speaking in front of hundreds of people, but equally values a meaningful conversation with one person. He can be serious when the moment calls for it, laugh at himself, tell a story, lead a team, and connect with people whose lives may look completely different from his own. At this stage of his life, CJ is not interested in pretending to be perfect. He is interested in showing up authentically, embracing new experiences, meeting people, and proving that some of life’s most interesting chapters begin when you think you already know how your story is going to end. His philosophy is simple: Connection matters. People matter. And every person has a story worth hearing.

My name is Adrian Jackson and I’m a practicing general dentist based in South Carolina, and while I don’t have formal acting experience, I bring a natural presence, confidence, and authenticity to the screen. My career in dentistry has taught me how to connect with people from all walks of life, communicate effectively, remain composed under pressure, and command a room when necessary. I believe one of my biggest strengths on camera is simply being myself. I bring an authentic aura, natural charisma, and a sense of grit that can’t be taught or manufactured. I’m comfortable in front of people, adaptable to different environments, and willing to step outside of my comfort zone to learn and grow. I’ve built my career through discipline, consistency, and hard work, and I bring that same mindset to every opportunity. Although I’m new to acting, I’m confident that my personality, life experiences, and natural screen presence can translate into film, television, commercials, and unscripted projects. I’m excited to explore acting and casting opportunities that allow me to bring something genuine and distinctive to the screen.
