SERIES OVERVIEW

Nothing Was The Same is a character-driven drama that explores the cost of success within the current music industry. After landing a life-changing opportunity, an artist discovers that fame doesn't just attract opportunities—it exposes betrayal, manipulation, greed, and hidden agendas from the people she trusted most.

The series blends music, suspense, relationships, business, and street culture into a grounded story about loyalty, ambition, and survival.

 

LEAD ROLES

TEE

Status: CAST

Portrayed by ONLY1 THEORY (Goldie Loccs)

An independent singer, producer, songwriter, and entrepreneur whose rapidly growing success changes every relationship around her. Intelligent, creative, compassionate, and determined, Tee must learn that success reveals people's true intentions. Throughout the series she evolves from trusting everyone around her into becoming a confident businesswoman who controls her own career and destiny.

​

RED

Female

Playing Age: 24–34

Ethnicity: Open

Sexual Orientation of Character: Stud / Lesbian

Role: Series Regular

Red is Tee's lifelong best friend and biggest supporter—or so it seems. Funny, charismatic, outgoing, and the life of every room, Red documents everything for social media and proudly celebrates Tee's rise. As Tee's career grows, however, Red begins making decisions driven by money and opportunity rather than loyalty. Her betrayal becomes one of the most emotional turning points of the series.

Looking for an actress capable of balancing humor, authenticity, vulnerability, and emotional conflict.

 

SHAY

Female

Playing Age: 27–36

Ethnicity: Open

Role: Series Regular

Shay is Tee's girlfriend and eventually becomes her manager. She is intelligent, charming, ambitious, and emotionally manipulative. What begins as support slowly transforms into control as Shay secretly profits from Tee's career by booking unauthorized appearances, building a management company using Tee's industry relationships, and ultimately betraying both Tee's trust and their relationship.

This role requires exceptional dramatic range. The actress must convincingly portray affection, insecurity, jealousy, manipulation, emotional volatility, and calculated ambition.

 

BIG BOSS ("BOSS")

Female

Playing Age: 35–50

Ethnicity: Open

Role: Series Regular

Boss is a respected Baltimore concert promoter with strong ties throughout the local music industry and connections to nationally recognized artists. Street-smart, highly respected, professional, and business-minded, she immediately recognizes that Tee is being mismanaged.

Over time, Boss becomes one of Tee's strongest allies and eventually steps into the role of her manager, helping Tee rebuild both her career and her confidence.

Seeking a commanding actress with natural authority and executive presence.

 

KEYZ

Male or Female

Playing Age: 25–40

Ethnicity: Open

Role: Series Regular

Keyz is a neighborhood drug dealer with dreams of entering the music business. While he or she genuinely wants to help Tee succeed, he or she battles gambling addiction, substance abuse, and the pressures of street life.

After meeting Tee in a recording studio, Keyz offers to finance portions of her career. His/Her decisions create unexpected consequences that ripple throughout the series.

Looking for an actor who can portray toughness, emotional depth, vulnerability, and internal conflict.

 

CARINNA

Female

Playing Age: 28–40

Ethnicity: Open
