It's been a long time coming but I'm finally starting casting for the new Wiki Channel pilot, Nerd Girls! This show is a new show produced by me, Jessie1010, and the lovely Olivia Staton has been tapped to star in the series as one half of the Nerd Girls, Kristie!

Here is the story of the series: Kelsey and Kristie are two quirky best friends, both extremely smart and a bit on the nerdy side. These two have always been super close and they are almost exactly the same, clicking like magnets. Ever since elementary school, Kelsey and Kristie were the geeks of the school, always made fun of for their wits. Now entering high school, Kelsey and Kristie are ready for a change after being accepted into Bradford Academy, the high school for the cream of the crop students! The two are excited to finally go to a school where they will be accepted and where they can fit in. And even though Bradford is much harder and stricter than their old school, the girls are ready to take on the challenge together. Whether they experimenting in the lab or tripping in the halls, Kelsey and Kristie are making the best of it together and learning something new every step of the way. With big opportunities ahead of them, crazy situations to get into, and their very strange personalities, this quirky pair of best friends are in for a fun ride sharing this next chapter of their lives together.

That's it! Staton's character Kristie is the outgoing and peppy one of the two, the uplifter and the who's always trying to stay positive. She also is a bit of a perfectionist. She is also way more into fashion than Kelsey is and is pretty much way more of a girly girl than she is, though she doesn't really show it around her.

For Kelsey, I've definitely been thinking Veronica Rodriquez, I think she'd be perfect. I also have looked at Crystal Diane, Maya Daniels, Alexis Thomson (since JIH season 2 ends soon) and Araceli Remine (if she's okay with playing two years older) for this role. For this role the top choices in my mind are Brienna Holt, Mallory Jays, and Maya Daniels. I also was thinking Cecelia Kristine and Alexis Thomson would do well for this role. For this role I was thinking Veronica Rodriquez and Araceli Remine, I actually was thinking maybe Drew could be younger than everyone else (like a middle school age) and could have skipped a few grades. That'd make her character kind of funny. :P Alexis Thomson would work for this, too. The only person I have in mind is Sloane Belicion. :)
 * Character Name: Kelsey
 * Character Age: 14 years old
 * Character Physical Information: Kelsey is nerdy looking. Her fashion sense is kind of out there as she doesn't really care about looks so she throws a bunch of stuff together and bam, there's her outfit.
 * Character Description: Kelsey, like Kristie, is funny, quirky, extremely smart, and confident in her wits. They both have the same nerdy qualities. Kelsey however, aside from Kristie, is more high strung and tends to worry a lot. She also is clumsy and a bit sponteneous (which shows in her outfits).
 * Character Name: Mandy
 * Character Age: 14 or 15 years old
 * Character Physical Information: Mandy is fashionable and pretty. Her fashion is always on point.
 * Character Description: Mandy is the fashionable girly girl of Lennyford. Mandy is super sweet, very smart, and very fashionable. She also cares for her friends. Whether it’s helping them out of a situation or fixing a major fashion mishap, Mandy is always there to help them up.
 * Character Name: Drew
 * Character Age: 14 years old
 * Character Physical Information: Drew is normal looking I guess. :P
 * Character Description: Drew is one of the smartest girls at Lennyford who is very competitive. She is a bit tense and neurotic because she's so worried about people topping her scores but she also is a good manipulator. She has forever disliked Mandy and now she is very skeptical of Kristie and Kelsey to make sure they don’t top her scores.
 * Character Name: Shay
 * Character Age: 16-18 years old
 * Character Physical Information: Shay has to look like she could be Kristie's sister. :)
 * Character Description: Shay is Kristie’s protective older sister. Shay is very mature and sometimes feels that Kristie acts too childish. But she overall loves her sister and would do anything for her

So that's it, I hope the people I mentioned audition as well as others! :)
