Zealous Actor (ZA) has been in the business for so many years that he has already experienced the peaks and lows of his career. Discovered in a reality contest, ZA had to work hard to get to his status. However, ZA had much help from friends, and now, decades later, he still has his friends to back him up. At the height of his primetime popularity, tv viewers became familiar with his talent and his portrayal of iconic roles.

The industry is not kind, and with the emergence of younger male talents in his network, ZA had to relegate. While he tried to venture into other facets of his talents, fans did not patronize his repackaging, which was quite disappointing. ZA eventually had to accept reality, that is, his career is about to be over. Forced into semi-retirement, ZA became less known with the younger generation.

Talent is hard to come by, and ZA was given another chance by his network. After appearing in a few independent movies, ZA was rediscovered. Soon, he was given meaty roles in various teleseryes. ZA gave his all, but something was not right. Most of his projects did not last long, unlike his project that catapulted him into fame before. This phenomenon was, however, puzzling. Usually, after a string of flops, a talent is relegated into the periphery, but not ZA.

The experience of ZA taught him that to last long in the industry, one must have good public relations with everyone in the network. ZA, most specially, became chummy with the gay executives of the network. Given that relationship, ZA always had good projects and the poor performance of his projects did not seem to matter in the case of ZA. In return, ZA also knows how to perform for his indirect benefactors. ZA is smart enough to realize who among the gay executives matter most. Allegedly, a Top Executive (TE) is making sure that ZA is getting projects, as he is very pleased with the services of ZA. Even though times have changed, as well as the status of ZA, TE is not about to let go of ZA. Thus, even if his projects are short-lived, ZA will always have work as long as TE is still among top management.
