B&B searching for real-life transgender actor or actress

B&B is looking to bring real life to reel life.

As The Bold and the Beautiful continues to tell the story of Maya (Karla Mosley), who was revealed to have been born male, the show is searching for a real-life transgender actor or actress to take part in the tale.

Soap Opera Digest reports that the CBS soap has released a casting call for "a strong, confident person who's completed their transition and is mentoring other Trans people." The role will begin short-term with only four episodes, however there's a possibility more episodes could be added.

The person cast in the role would begin taping on Tuesday, April 7.

What do you think about B& B reaching into the real-life transgender community to cast a role for Maya's story? Are you looking forward to learning more about Myron's journey into becoming the Maya the audience sees today?
