DIS/
ORDERED

memento vivere

When Senior Airman Andrea Sutton is forced into inpatient treatment, she must reckon with haunting memories and her role as key witness in a case the military would rather forget. Dis/ordered is a story about what happens when the system meant to heal you becomes the thing you need to survive.

We are currently accepting interest submissions for cast and crew for the first three pilot episodes, with potential for future episodes pending pickup. This is a callback list — not an audition. We read everything.

Lead Roles

The leads.

We are looking for actors who understand what it means to hold something heavy and make it look like breathing.

Casting vision references indicate the creative energy and type we're seeking — not confirmed attachments. All roles are open call unless noted.
Andrea Sutton
Senior Airman. The center of the series. Deep compassion for everyone but herself. Funny until she isn't — and the audience won't see the break coming. Also plays her internal world counterparts in costume — the same actor, different versions of the same person.
Vision: Amandla Stenberg / Janelle Monáe energy
Lead
Jordan
Patient. Marine. Nonbinary. Introduced in Episode 2 — not seen in Episode 1, but vital to cast now. Their story runs parallel and inverted to Andrea's in every significant way.
Vision: Liv Hewson / Bella Ramsey energy · Nonbinary actors strongly encouraged
Lead · Ep 2+
Dr. Isabella Martinez
Long-time PAT-C therapist intimately connected to the facility's history. When she meets Andrea she knows something is different — she just can't name it yet. Warm, precise, and carrying her own weight.
Vision: Lana Parrilla / Melissa Barrera energy
Lead
Supporting & Recurring

The ones who make it real.

Captain K
The therapist who sends Andrea to PAT-C. Sees something. Does the hard thing. Her role in the pilot is small but pivotal — what she sees changes everything.
Minor
SSGT Tomas
Andrea's supervisor. The one who shows up. Gets Andrea there and stays as long as she can. Has her own history with the system.
Vision: Elizabeth Moss energy
Regular · Support
Senior Kendall
Command presence. Watches. Protective within the limits of what the institution allows. Carries quiet weight about those limits.
Regular · Support
Johnson
Andrea's closest friend. Angry in the way only people who love you can be angry. Honest when honesty costs something.
Regular · Support
Ethan
PAT-C front desk. The warm face at intake. Kind smile, genuine. Makes the first moments feel survivable.
Support
Andi
PAT-C intake staff. No-nonsense, specific. Cuts the strings from the hoodie. Somehow makes the hardest moments feel human anyway.
Support
Mel
Major support. Presence and specificity essential. Details to be shared at callback stage.
Major Support
Victim Advocate
Andrea's personal advocate. In her corner specifically — not the institution's. Present after Andrea leaves the facility. Name TBD, role confirmed. Does not appear in Episode 1.
Vision: Caterina Scorsone energy
Supporting
SAPR Coordinator
Base-wide Sexual Assault Prevention and Response lead. Handles the larger institutional case. A different function entirely from Andrea's personal advocate — and a different kind of weight to carry.
Minor
Jade
Andrea's best friend from before. The one who saw her before she knew how to be seen. Her presence shifts everything when she appears.
Minor
Chels
Minor role. Specific energy. Details shared at callback stage.
Minor
PAT-C Driver
Minor. Present at a significant moment in the pilot. The first unfamiliar face Andrea encounters on the way in.
Minor
Intake Nurse / Escort
Minor. The person who processes Andrea's arrival. Brief, clinical, and quietly important.
Minor
Patient Representatives
Two minor characters. PAT-C patients with their own histories and survival methods. Ensemble presence with specific moments.
Minor × 2
Taylor
A specific minor role in the pilot. Booked.
Booked
PAT-C Patients
Ensemble. Background and atmosphere. The world of the unit made visible through the people living in it.
Extras · Ensemble
