Done and Over for Now

The entertainment industry can be cruel, and this cruelty is blind. It does not matter if one were a big and famous celebrity or a starting out wannabee. Talent is a given, as even the least talented have survived. Bad choices, arrogant attitude, and wrong company, among others, are possible reasons for one’s downfall. By contrast, celebrities who listened to advice and accepted their mistakes have managed to sustain their careers and gain respect from fans and industry stakeholders alike.

One celebrity who has been victimized by the system is now realizing that a comeback might be a bit more difficult than what he had expected. During the heydays of Statuesque Actor (SA) screams seemed endless and projects came one after the other. In fact, he was among the top priorities of his network until more handsome and talented actors entered the picture. As years passed, SA developed an attitude, which could not accommodate the reality that he has been ousted at the top.

The appearance of SA started to lessen and reasons for his hiatus ranged from managing business interests to attending to personal relationships. The truth was he was no longer the favorite of a Powerful Insider (PI). So, after lingering with no roles in sight, SA went overseas thanks to a sponsor. However, things did not turn out well, and his sponsor left him. SA had to make controversial choices, or else he would starve.

With the help of an Elderly Celebrity (EC), SA allegedly had encounters with older women and gay men for him to earn enough to make sure he lived in style. EC had clients for SA, and things seemed okay. SA had a place to stay under the wing of EC.

Then, one day, PI offered SA a supporting role in a project. Negotiations failed, as SA felt the talent fee was too small. However, SA surprisingly came home and decided to work on a project with Another Network (AN). SA wanted to test the waters and to see if he could make a comeback. Of course, his choice of doing a project with AN offended PI, and instead of getting SA back, he was ignored. With no clear sign that he could return to the industry, SA decided to leave for overseas once again.
