Actress lands a role in Tyler Perry’s movie after placing billboard ad to get his attention

The actress who put a billboard advertisement to catch producer, Tyler Perry’s attention for a role in his movie has finally seen her dream come true. Despite receiving a light scolding from Tyler Perry for the stunt, Racquel Bailey can now say for sure that her $2,000 investment paid off as she was offered a spot in the ace producer and actor’s new project.

Recall that Tyler politely chastised the actress for escalating her attention-grabbing tactics with a billboard. He also told her she will be offered a spot in his movies if she comes out good at his auditions which have no entry fee.

The 32-year-old actress, however, moved on from that and has been cast in a recurring role in Tyler Perry’s new drama “Sistas”. Racquel spent last week in Atlanta at Tyler Perry Studios, which was where she strategically placed her billboards in May.

TMZ reported that she will be playing the police officer who had a past relationship with one of the lead characters. Perry was on set directing the episode in which Bailey will appear … a dream come true for her.

Her billboard stunt was quite successful as she was contacted by several casting directors thereafter, got about 20 auditions and landed 2 roles before the “Sistas” gig. She also has an audition with some known directors coming up soon.
