Cleanliness is Just Not His Priority

Sometime ago, coworkers started to notice that an actor had changed from his neat look to being unkempt. However, this look was accepted by the production because it was his way of manifesting his application of his acting school. The coworkers did not initially mind the move, as the new look added to a deeper characterization of his role in a project. However, coworkers noticed that the line between acting and reality had diminished and the once neat actor had become Untidy Talent (UT).

Despite comments from peers for UT to revert to his clean-cut look, the pleas fell on deaf ears. UT continued with his look and even the way he conducted himself started to bother his coworkers. Sometimes, they would get the impression that UT missed showering before going to the set, but most were polite not to put UT on the spot. It could be his way of self-expression and they did not want to interfere with such idea.

One time, UT was on taping with Young Character Actor (YC) and Model Talent (MT), but the three of them had to wait before they were called to be on the set. As the location was filthy and no area was clean enough for them to rest, YC came up with a bright idea. The pad of UT was near and YC asked UT if the three of them could hangout in the unit. They could freshen up as well. UT refused and proposed, instead, that they just check in to a nearby hotel. He said his pad was in disarray.

YC was persistent and after a few exchanges, he managed to convince UT to bring them to his pad. Still, UT kept saying that YC and MT were going to take a risk by going to his unit. As soon as UT opened the door, YC started having second thoughts for convincing UT. The smell of a rotting mouse started to fill the air. The kitchen sink was full of unwashed dishes, and clothes were thrown all over the floor. Roaches roamed the area as well.

After a few seconds, YC and MT excused themselves by saying that they should eat out first. Of course, he wanted to leave, as he and MT could not withstand the smell. Their desire to have a restful moment was thwarted by the chaos of things they smelled and saw in the abode of UT. After their meal, YC and MT never returned to the pad of UT. Apparently, the location was a far better place to hang around.

Incidentally, people who are familiar with UT are speculating that a reason why his relationships could not last long has something to do with his hygiene, and his justification of his approach to his roles is not at all helping this perception.
