DP Daily Prompt:Cast change
You’ve just been named the casting director of your favorite television show (or movie franchise).The catch: you must replace the entire cast– with your friends and family. Who gets which one?
This role of a casting director is not easy for me to fulfill. Let me see what I can come up with.
My favorite TV show is ,’The Waltons.’ We loved watching it, it was such a beautiful story of a family, I watch it even now if it is shown.
Here is my selection : The Replacement Cast Members;
John Walton Sr: A.R. Choudhry( he is a family friend)
Olivia Walton : Dilruba ( family friend)
Jon Boy Walton: Todd Baker( family friend)
Zeb “Grandpa Walton” : Mr. Baker( Todd’s Dad)
Esther”Grandma Walton: Aunt Bessie( Fictional)
Jason Walton: Shahzad( my nephew)
Mary Ellen Walton: Shazia( my niece)
Erin Walton: Lucky( my niece)
Ben Walton: Theo( fictional)
Jim Bob Walton: Bobby( fictional)
Elizabeth Walton: Ruth ( Family friend)
Narrator: Jerome(Family friend)
The above are my cast members. I’ll have them rehearse their parts, the ones who are mentioned as fictional will be relieved from rehearsing.
This was a difficult thing to do,I sympathize with the casting directors.

That was a wonderful family show – one I actually watched. I dont watch TV anymore.
Great idea to cast family in the meaningful roles – I think they would enjoy the job!
You think, they will if I pay them. This one is fine it’s only a prompt.
Thanks Leslie.
