Reticent Talent Piracy via Charity

Talent manager TM has been in the business for years and has a stable of popular stars under his wing. As such, he was able to invest in some properties, particularly in condominium units. So far, he has 3 units in the Mandaluyong alone. As a manager, TM is quite generous to his new wards as he is willing to offer his place to them who will have need for a temporary dwelling. One of those talents is IA, an actor who made big waves in an indie movie he starred in. Now, TM has also offered his condo #2 to an aspiring hunk actor HA but who is not his talent. HA is an alumnus of a rival network's reality show and his connection/friendship with TM is kept a secret from his network. 

TM is so smitten by HA and is said to be his latest "eye candy" and the beneficiary of his generosity. Not only is HA housed comfortably, he is also given out-of-town shows and other projects. Not only is he given projects, TM gives HA his talent fee TF in full, meaning without the customary agent's cut. All of that unbeknownst to HA's management network.

TM's scheme seems to be working because he also previously did the same thing to an ex-commercial model and hunk actor MA who had left his network and is now finally under his wing. TM seems to thrive on this, doing it without second thoughts. To those who know him, TM reasons that this is survival and he is only helping those who need it. As to his eye candy HA, how long will they be able to keep their connection a secret from his network? Is it just a working relationship or something else? If they deny it, why is TM often seen visiting and spending long hours with HA in his condo and leaving only in the wee hours of the morning?

Meanwhile, TM really believes it works. After all, his first and original eye candy - FA - is still with him and is one of the most in demand actors of his network.

Can you guess who are TM, IA, HA, and FA? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want them to be posted. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.
