Gone Opportunity

Movie roles are often written based on characters concocted by a writer’s imagination or on talents who could be challenged by the parts. Sometimes, writers are instructed by producers to create a role for a specific talent for that to gain followers.

When Undecided Actor (UA) found out about a project was being made with him in mind, he became excited. After reading the script, UA was convinced to do the part. UA then consulted Influential Person (IP) about the project.

When IP went through the requirements of the script, disagreement followed. IP became uneasy with certain parts of the role that required UA to do more than his usual acting. UA needed to show a bit more of himself and engage in a few physical scenes. UA said he could handle the requirements and technology can always be done to enhance uncomfortable scenes. Still, IP was not convinced and opened up the idea that the project can lead to social media frenzy and bashing. Finally, UA realized IP’s opinion weighed more than the possibility of growing in the acting direction of his career.

UA told his friends about the botched offer. His friends were dismayed at the opportunity that slipped from his hands. Subsequently, he was advised not to always take what IP says to heart unless he wants to keep his career stagnant.  

‘We yearn for opportunities, we pray for opportunities and we seek for opportunities. The good news is that we meet opportunities. The bad news is that we miss the opportunities only to come to a later realization of missed opportunities.’ ― Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
