Not Making His Mama Proud

Intense actor (IA) had everything going with him. As he was showbiz royalty, IA’s career was competently handled by one the industry’s well–respected talent manager. IA got the breaks and the fame, and thus, managed to escape the shadow of his famous parents as early as his teen years.

Just as his career was on the upswing, his initial lovelife was marked by a high profile relationship with one of the hottest teen stars of his generation. However, after they broke up, IA was presumed to have turned to substance abuse. Apparently, his parents could only do so much as IA was so deep into the habit that his career and stardom plunged. The offers stopped coming. Then, he promised to clean up his act, and he made a comeback.

When the closest people in his life passed on, people were afraid that IA might return to his old ways. AI said he will continue to clean up his act, and by this time, he was happily settled and raising a family. IA remained visible on television, and all seemed well. A few months later, people then noticed that IA’s role was suddenly shortened in a project, which was in contrast to the initial publicity that he was the lead. Then, rumors of unhappiness in his marriage started to surface.

What people feared, happened again. Allegedly, IA had returned to his old habits, and by this time, his acting was already greatly affected. He could no longer memorize his lines. Some people can even attest to witnessing IA rambling with his pointless tales. At first, his ideas seemed intelligent, but after a few minutes, his ideas were no longer related to the conversation. Thus, as he was gaining notoriety by not showing up on time, the production had no choice but not get him again.

Will IA’s life continue to be defeated by his alleged bad habit or will he finally come to his senses before it’s too late? While IA is already of age, someone should intervene and save him before he ends up like many actors who never recovered. His talent should not be wasted.

No work or love will flourish out of guilt, fear, or hollowness of heart, just as no valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now. – Alan Watts
