Meet the Cast of The Trust: A Game of Greed Season 1
Here’s who’s competing for that quarter of a million dollars on Netflix.
Netflix is fast becoming the destination for binge-worthy reality shows, thanks to the likes of Too Hot to Handle, The Circle, and more. The streamer is starting off 2024 with yet another juicy series, which is being described as a cross between The Traitors and Big Brother.
The Trust: A Game of Greed gives a group of strangers the chance to win a quarter of a million dollars. While the 11 players could share the prize pot, they also have the opportunity to vote out any contestants they don’t trust. Plus, multiple temptations are thrown their way throughout the twisty series. While living together in a gorgeous villa by the sea, the cast of strangers is forced to forge alliances, complete tasks, and attempt to survive until the final episode.
Here, we take a look at the cast of season 1 of The Trust: A Game of Greed.
Tolú Ekundare
Tolú’s Instagram profile declares that she’s “Thee Main Character,” and her appearance on The Trust most definitely confirms that. Alongside being a reality TV newbie, Tolú is a marketing manager and a successful model who is represented by the Neil Jou agency, and she’s participated in some stunning photoshoots. Announcing her role on The Trust, Tolú shared on Instagram, “Your favorite bald baddie is coming to a screen near you!!”
Bryce Lee
Bryce makes quite the impact on season 1 of The Trust, not least because of his epic success as a real estate agent. Bryce works alongside his mom, Kimber Lee, at John L. Scott in Lake Tapps, Washington, and it seems he doesn’t exactly need the prize funds from the show. As he notes on Instagram, he’s already sold more than $100 million in real estate. When he’s not working, he enjoys cooking and engaging with philanthropic organizations.
Winnie Ileso
Winnie Ileso is an image consultant stylist based in Houston, Texas, who regularly shares her impeccable outfit curation on Instagram. The 31-year-old works as a bartender, and according to her LinkedIn account, she’s also experienced in account management, specializing in customer relationships. As for the gigantic prize fund, Winnie revealed in the show’s first episode: “It can bring you joy and happiness, or it can bring you a lot of stress.”
Brian Firebaugh
Brian is introduced in The Trust’s first episode as a 42-year-old Texas cattle rancher, who simply goes by “Cattle Guy” on social media. Brian is a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, whose childhood nickname was “Fireball,” per his company’s website. Announcing his participation in The Trust’s first season, Brian wrote on Instagram, “I did a BIG thing with amazing people!”
Juelz Morgan
Juelz causes some major drama during his time on The Trust, particularly as he refuses to reveal his real occupation to the rest of the cast. The 32-year-old is introduced as a police officer in the show’s first episode, but he proceeds to tell everyone that he’s a fitness coach and stripper. Juelz’s penchant for sharing his abs on Instagram makes his lie more than a little believable. According to Juelz’s Instagram profile, his motto is “LLL,” which stands for “LOVE LIVING LIFE.”
Simone Stewart
During the first episode of The Trust, 55-year-old Simone revealed that she was unemployed and had recently gone through a divorce. “That’s why I’m here,” she explained. “Because I realized I was home, by myself, and the only living things around me were my plants.” According to her LinkedIn account, Simone has since taken on a role as a diversity, equity, and inclusion coordinator at Western Oregon University. Meanwhile, Simone’s Instagram profile lists her diverse hobbies: “Latin Dancer. Sports FanAtic. Arts Activist. Do gooder.”
Julie Theis
“Money makes me feel safe,” explains 28-year old marketing director and entrepreneur Julie in The Trust’s first episode. With a master’s degree in marketing consumer psychology from Montana State University, Julie shares “psych advice” on TikTok, and her videos have had more than 550,000 views, according to her Instagram profile. Now based in Austin, Texas, Julie previously competed in the Miss Montana pageant.
Jake Chocolous
Jake is introduced as a 37-year-old military contractor on The Trust, and he quickly asserts himself as the leader of the group. He’s Black Hawk pilot and army veteran, and also hosts a daily podcast named Man Up, which won’t be to everyone’s tastes, according to his Instagram profile. Jake’s TikTok account notes that he’s all about “brutal truth, current events, and social outrage.”
Lindsey Anderson
Lindsey Anderson describes herself as a wife, a mother of three, and an online business consultant. She hosts a podcast called The Millionaire Maker Show, and shares her expertise with businesses to develop to their sales techniques, including on social media. During the first episode of The Trust, Lindsey quickly shared some details about her personal life with the group, hoping to develop a mutual rapport with her teammates. As for how successful she was, viewers will just have to wait and see.
Gaspare Randazzo
Gaspare is a 33-year-old teacher based in New York City, who moonlights as a stand-up comedian, and draws inspiration from his classroom for every set. He’s also the co-host of The Social Studies Podcast, which explores life as a teacher and what it’s like raising toddlers. Sharing news of his role on The Trust, Gaspare wrote on Instagram, “Will you be watching tomorrow?! I will, but it won’t be until after 3 o’clock, because I have to go to work and teach all day and literally I am probably going to have a heart attack not knowing what the show is showing.”
Jay Patterson
Jay makes a huge impact on the group during The Trust, and viewers will delight in her many opinions. The 70-year-old retiree explained during the first episode, “I’m not your typical grandma. You know, I had a Harley and did the drugs and the drinking.”
