Just Too Proud for a Newbie

Success has really gone into the head of a network’s young actor (YA). At the start of his career, YA joined the talent search of his network, but his efforts were futile, as he was unable to make the cut. Luck smiled at YA, as the network included him in a teleserye that shocked the public and the network with its unexpected success. The audience response was so overwhelming that YA suddenly got propelled into the limelight even if his role was that of support.

Like a typical teen, YA loves to take selfies on the set. He often took photos of himself with famous cast members. Yes, YA only had selfies with the leads. He only talked to the famous actors on the set, and ignored the others. Thus, even if the soap had seasoned performers, YA did not bother with them. This behavior of YA caught the attention of several people on the soap. They felt that YA discriminated, as he only noticed the leads and walked by the supporting cast. He did not even talk to the bit players at all.

As someone who is barely making a name for himself, YA should be reminded that the biggest of stars all gave equal attention to everyone involved in the production. These lead stars lasted long in the business because they valued the bit players with as much attention as famous actors. More importantly, they showed sincerity in dealing with everyone. Most often, the supporting cast makes the leads shine in their scenes. Incidentally, some of the supporting cast are respected players in genres outside of television.

The one big break of YA will not guarantee that the next role will not result in a steady and successful career. After all, the network has better-looking talents who have better manners. Besides, if he continues with his boastful and arrogant ways, he can look forward to fewer projects, or worse, the network can freeze his career.
