Fame has just as many perks as it does pitfalls. In fact, some may
argue that the pitfalls are double the size of the perks. They definitely have
a greater impact, not only on your career, but your life as well. You can't
act, play ball or sing forever, so you want to make sure when you begin, your
reputation is outstanding in terms of whatever you choose to do next.
As a person with "celebrity"
status, the most important thing to you is your reputation. Your reputation is
the deciding factor on a lot of things that determine your wellbeing. For
example, if you're being considered for a part in a big budget film, making an
appearance on a show or being the face of a clothing line or fragrance could
influence the directors. With a poor reputation, you can forget about being
afforded the opportunity to engage in one of those job opportunities.
You will not be able to support yourself
as an unemployed entertainer. In other words, you will be able to find work,
but not in the field you have chosen. That alone should be an indication that
the reputation you have now can and will follow you throughout your whole
career. While your skills may be sharp, and you might have the look, you would
be hard pressed to find a willing director to cast you in one of his or her
movies.
We see it today. Every time we turn on the
news, we hear about a former child star or actor getting into more trouble and
further damaging their reputation. It's a shame, because they still believe
that they will be working or getting major parts. In reality, they might get a
small appearance here and there or be cast in a very low budget movie that
will get no publicity at all.
There is hope for you though, as quick as
the public is to prosecute you, with time, they can forgive you and support you
in whatever you choose to do next. To get to this level, however, won't be
easy. It requires a lot of hard work, and nothing will be handed to you. If you
are given the opportunity to rebuild your reputation with commercials and
independent films, take it. You have nothing to lose and it can only help
repair your reputation.
I also suggest you hire an onlinereputation management firm to help you restore your reputation on the internet.
This is a must for you if you want to work again. Whatever rumor you think is
being said about you in the papers, it is even worse online. Therefore, nothing
should a shock if you did a search on your name and some negativity came up.
The only thing to do is to get help to show that you are doing something good.
Hopefully, then, people will give you another chance.
Rebuilding your reputation when fame is
involved is never easy. But, you do have multiple options available to you that
should help the process be a little less painful.
