The White House Is Fake — Coming Soon to Sparkk TV

There are secrets buried under Alexandria, Virginia — and Nelson Conrad is about to find them.

The upcoming Sparkk TV Firsts mini-series The White House Is Fake follows Nelson Conrad, a bright but eccentric teen from a small town who dreams of adventure, validation, and something bigger than the life waiting around him. But when Nelson spots a strange poster advertising a mysterious event, his search for purpose leads him into something far more dangerous: an underground conspiracy filled with government cover-ups, hidden tunnels, secret operators, and a truth that may change everything he thinks he knows.

Set in 1992, The White House Is Fake blends political thriller, mystery, and conspiracy drama with the adventurous spark of Stranger Things, the paranoia of The X-Files, and the political danger of House of Cards. Created by Joe Hawk, the serialized mini-series unfolds across seven episodes, pulling viewers deeper into a world where the people in charge may not be who they claim to be.

Before the conspiracy fully begins, meet the characters at the center of The White House Is Fake.

Ethan Timothy as Nelson Conrad

Nelson Conrad is the teenage protagonist of The White House Is Fake — imaginative, restless, and adventure-obsessed. He is an outsider searching for validation and purpose, but his curiosity leads him somewhere he was never meant to go.

After accidentally uncovering a dangerous political conspiracy beneath a highway in Alexandria, Virginia, Nelson finds himself pulled into a mystery much larger than any of the wild stories he used to chase.

William Petrano as Mr. James Hutchinson

Mr. James Hutchinson is a mysterious and secretive figure tied to hidden historical events. With a grin, a business card, and a title that may reveal only part of the truth, Hutchinson presents himself as the “City Engineer” for the City of Alexandria, Virginia.

But in The White House Is Fake, official titles can hide dangerous intentions — and Hutchinson may know far more than he is willing to say.

Peter Anthony as No. 2

No. 2 is the second-in-command under Mr. James Hutchinson, stepping in when situations require toughness, muscle, and a more forceful approach.

If Hutchinson is the mind behind the mystery, No. 2 is one of the people making sure the secrets stay protected.

Denise Foggo as Rita

Rita may appear to be a calm librarian during the day, but there is much more beneath her sweet demeanor.

Secretly working for the U.S. government as a doctor, Rita handles dangerous situations when things get out of control — and when necessary, her kindness can turn deadly.

Actor: Denise Foggo

Jeffrey M. Rossman as Chief Rawlings

Chief Rawlings is a local authority figure with dangerous connections. In The White House Is Fake, he is in the pocket of the U.S. Government and does favors for Mr. James Hutchinson.

For Nelson, that means the people who are supposed to protect the town may be helping protect the conspiracy instead.

John Carlo as Gordon Conrad

Gordon Conrad is Nelson’s loving father. He wants the best for his son, even if that means pushing back against Nelson’s impulsive package purchases and encouraging him to become more active in sports.

But raising a restless teenager is one thing. Raising one who may have uncovered a government conspiracy is something else entirely.

Actor: John Carlo

Nicholas Grzywacz as Noah

As Nelson dodges government agents and pieces together the mystery around him, Noah becomes one of his most important allies.

Lisa Campbell as Janet Conrad

From searching for Bigfoot to chasing his purpose in life, Nelson’s imagination keeps Janet worried — but this time, his latest obsession may be more real than anyone expected.

Rick Beebe as the Fake U.S. President

Known to the American people as the “Fake U.S. President,” this hidden figure operates beneath the tunnels and calls the shots from the shadows.

Elected as the real U.S. President by the government, but concealed from the public, he sits at the center of the conspiracy Nelson is about to uncover.

A Conspiracy Waiting Underground

At its center, The White House Is Fake is a story about curiosity, danger, and the frightening possibility that the world is controlled by forces hiding in plain sight.

For Nelson Conrad, what begins as a search for adventure becomes a fight to understand the truth. For the people around him, it becomes a test of loyalty, secrecy, and survival.

The deeper Nelson goes, the stranger the conspiracy becomes.

The White House Is Fake is coming soon to Sparkk TV as a Sparkk TV Firsts mini-series.
