Pride is Not Good Company for Your Showbiz Journey

Being cast in one major project and occasional appearances in a network’s show is not sufficient for any starting out talent to believe immediately that he/she is already made. Several longstanding showbiz luminaries have constantly reminded young talents not to be complacent with the projects that are coming their way. A talent is only as good as his/her present project. One flop can signal the end of one’s career. Moreover, humility has been stressed as one trait young talents should always keep in mind.

Sadly, Newbie Actor (NA) who was cast in a supporting role in a monster project (MP) last year has continued with his proud ways. As early as then, NA has been said to have bragged about being part of MP and even acted as though he was a major star of the said teleserye during the last few months of its airing. At one point, he demanded to have a solo tent, which was only given to the real major stars. NA did not want to be with fellow actors, who are gathered in one tent before going on cam. Because of his attitude, some of his co-stars intentionally avoided talking to him.

Unfortunately, the ill-mannered ways of NA did not spare his family members. Sometime ago, NA reconciled with a close family member (CF), who had to leave when NA was still very young. NA decided to be with CF, as he claimed his guardian then was spending his earnings left and right. Being a minor, the agreement was to make CF his new guardian until NA was old enough to handle his own financial transactions. Therefore, NA packed up his stuff and joined CF in a pad.

Apparently, even CF could not withstand the proud ways of NA. During one of his tapings, NA was seen in a high-end SUV, which he claimed to have paid for with his earnings. However, the truth is that CF shelled out the downpayment and paid for the expenses of the pad. When NA was old enough, he left CF and decided to live on his own. Currently, he still is in one of the projects of his network, but he has yet to appear in a project aired during the strongest block for the station.

Although NA was initially rejected in several of his auditions, someone should remind him that he has all his blessings because the network and his handlers have shown him kindness. He is not an indispensable talent, as he has yet to prove his box-office power. Someone should remind NA that a humble attitude could get him far in the business and open more opportunities if he wants to make a mark in acting.

“Talent means nothing, while experience, acquired in humility and with hard work, means everything.” ― Patrick Süskind
