A casting director has one day to find an actor to fill the role of a lawyer in a crime procedural. But what seems like a simple task proves impossible when the pool of actors includes stage thespians who can't tone it down for the screen, performers completely unable to keep themselves in frame, and an actor who seems to believe this is a toothpaste commercial.
The audience will vote for the actor that they think would be the best choice.

Casting Director is on screen the whole show, with Roger showing up in-between auditions. The other 11 characters are auditioners who each have a short audition, about one page, and then a potential outro scene if they are “cast” by audience votes.
