Description: A working-class African American family in Indiana struggling to make it work and make it right without the blueprints to do it. The family’s patriarch is Bennie Upshaw, a charming, well-intentioned mechanic and lifelong mess just trying his best to step up and care for his family. He’s married to Regina and together they have two young daughters Aaliyah (Khali Spraggins) and Maya (Journey Christine), and their firstborn son Bernard Jr. Also part of the family is Kelvin (Diamond Lyons), a teenager who Bennie father with another woman while he and Regina were on a break, as well as Regina’s older sister Lucretia Turner (Wanda Sykes) who is happiest when she’s antagonizing Bennie.

** Please note the Up-To-Date Actor (UTDA) is not a submission/audition service, meaning no one has listed a specific audition or request for someone to submit. UTDA is an information resource only.
UTDA provides you with information on what projects are currently casting and who is casting. If you are specifically right for a project (based on your demographics and skills) you can use the information on our site to create what we call a “specific general submission.” When available, we provide the submission policy and preference on the casting director’s page but keep in mind since the pandemic all communication should be digital.
