OIU: Overnight Investigations Unit | Original IMVU Crime Series Casting
Ruby Pressure for Lt. Simone Hayes | Series Regular
Lt. Simone Hayes | Series Regular
Description / Characteristics
Age: 35 | OIU Commander
Simone is the person holding the entire unit together.
She is calm, strategic, and very hard to rattle. She does not need to raise her voice to have authority, and she is not interested in ego, drama, or sloppy police work. She built OIU to move quickly, but never recklessly.
Simone knows when to step in, when to let her detectives work, and when to force everyone back to the facts. She carries a lot of responsibility without making it everyone else’s problem.
She should feel like a real leader, not a stereotypical angry boss.
What I’m looking for:
Strong, grounded authority
Calm, controlled delivery
Natural leadership presence
Able to sound firm without shouting
Good emotional restraint
Strong timing in tense scenes
Able to take direction and adjust a performance
Commitment:
This is a series regular role, so I’m looking for someone who wants to stay with OIU long-term. You’ll need to be available for future episodes, retakes, and scheduled IMVU filming sessions.

Calm / Commanding “Carter. Bennett. We’ve got a missing twenty-four-year-old, possible blood scene, Mercer and Ninth. Grab your coats.” Direction: Efficient and matter-of-fact. This is routine for her, even if the case is not.
Leadership / Pressure “I’m fine with instincts. I’m not fine with building a case around one. If we can’t prove the sequence, then we don’t have the sequence.” Direction: Firm, controlled, no yelling. She is correcting the room, not performing authority.
Serious / Protective of the Unit “We move fast because people are waiting on us. That does not mean we get careless. If something does not fit, we stop, we look again, and we get it right.” Direction: Let the weight of command come through. Calm, but this matters to her.
