HOME > The BenefactorABC announces audition dates for Mark Cuban's 'The Benefactor'
ABC has announced the initial audition dates for The Benefactor, its upcoming new reality series that will aim to answer the question of "what would you do for a million dollars?" when billionaire businessman and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban gives away a million bucks to a complete stranger.
Stated Cuban in the network's press release: "Everyone has dreamed of getting rich, and I want to help one lucky person get there. This isn't a traditional contest. You don't need special talents. I'm not looking to find out who is the grossest, funniest, prettiest, smartest or able to go without food or water the longest. The right person is going to get on my good side at the right time and, whoever that is, is going to walk away with a check for one million dollars."
"From the millions of applicants we expect, I will then invite approximately 15 finalists to visit with me and begin the journey to win the money. And I can promise you it will be a journey... with some of the rules made up along the way. " If you can't make the auditions in person, you may also download an application from abc.com, keyword: casting. Completed participant applications, along with a one to three-minute videotape of yourself answering four questions about why you feel worthy to receive a million bucks from Cuban, can be sent to the following address (the deadline for submissions is April 2, 2004): "The Benefactor" 6230 Wilshire Blvd., #1803 Los Angeles, CA 90048-5104 Six episodes of The Benefactor are slated to air during the summer of 2004.
