ABC has announced details for the audition process of their latest RTV offering, The Benefactor. Billionaire businessman and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban will be giving away a million bucks to a complete stranger.
The rules and criteria that Cuban will use to make the decision on who will get his million dollars have not been released.
That has not stopped them from opening up the audition process. Details have been mailed to subscribers of Reality TV Calendars Casting Central Newsletter.
In an ABC press release Cuban said, "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."
