Snobbish Male Performer

Some talents of a network went to stage a show in time for a province's annual festival. The local press was invited by the organizers to meet and greet their talents. The reporters requested for an interview with Returning Actor (RA) and the organizers agreed and promised they would have RA ready.

At the appointed time, the stars were there, as promised. But the press waited long for RA to appear. The waiting stretched further causing them undue restlessness. They all sensed that RA did not seem to want to be interviewed. Good enough, the other talents saved the day, including a young controversial actress, who was very obliging to them.

The time wore on and the press got so pissed with RA's prima donna antics. They also complained that not one from among the organizers and the road manager even attended to them. You know the feeling if someone invites you to a gathering and when you arrive, you are ignored and left to fend for yourself. That was what these poor reporters' been through. And the only request they made earlier and which was promised them - to interview RA - seemed to be getting futile as time went by. The organizers obviously could not produce RA. But some few minutes later, lo and behold...RA finally showed up! The press was relieved -- but not for long 'though. For RA appeared detached, unfeeling and bored. He obliged to answer a question or two, then left, saying that he had other matters to attend to. How cruel is that?

How can RA regain his former stature if he treats people that way? Perhaps talents should begin to realize the value of out-of-town press conferences and positive interaction with each local showbiz media. The battle for network supremacy and star popularity is not only confined in Metro Manila but also fought nationally. If you're a star -- and especially if a comebacking one at that, like RA, this kind of impression is definitely the last thing you will need. In this business, if you don't go by the rules - either you bloom or get doomed.

Can you identify who RA is? 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.
