14 undiscovered actors will be put through their acting paces each week with acting challenges where they'll either excel or crash and burn. Those who crash will get whacked until two winners make The Final Cut.

Their prize: a role on one of SABC's shows.

The series is produced by Endemol and premieres on Monday, 26 June at 19h30.
