Proud Actor (PA) probably thought that moving on was an easy action to do. When the public learned of his decision to change management, PA was met with quizzical looks. He was already with a Major Management (MM) and opted to be with a management that does not have as many opportunities as his former home could offer. Still, PA seemed adamant on finding what else he could do.
PA was impatient and he could not wait for his next project. MM was taking its time before giving PA his next assignment as his projects performed below expectations. Unlike other talents who had been in a similar situation, PA cut ties before he could be put in the freezer.
As time passed, all was not well with PA as he allegedly suffered from separation anxiety. After working on several projects with a new team, nothing has been heard about him. His contemporaries are working in projects and are quite busy. Seeing them on television was affecting PA to the point that he had to undergo psychiatric help. Professional counseling helped PA to get over his anxieties and insecurities. Once he had everything going for him and then, everything fell apart. The pressure can be so much for someone like PA.
The advice was simple but depended on how PA would react. He was told to refrain from watching too much of his colleagues, as he could continue to feel envious that they are regularly seen. As he no longer has a daily show, PA might be thinking that he might be removed from the consciousness of his followers. Further, he was advised to keep busy, like get into sports or new things that would not make his mind idle. After all, PA has other interests that he can pursue given the time he has between projects.
Nonetheless, what was puzzling was why MM did not even bother to persuade PA to stay and explore his capability under their wing. The answer is PA’s attitude. Unlike his contemporaries, success went to PA’s head and he had moments that he was difficult to work with and many times, MM had to do damage control to protect and salvage PA’s reputation. With so many names in their roster and talents who have their feet grounded, it was easy for MM to let PA go.
‘Certainly the most destructive vice if you like, that a person can have. More than pride, which is supposedly the number one of the cardinal sins - is self-pity. Self-pity is the worst possible emotion anyone can have. And the most destructive.’ – Stephen Fry
