Hearsay In This Business
Mar 22nd, 2010 by Alan Yu
Today while on set there was a very interesting situation. Yesterday there were two guys that were chatting it up together and they seemed to get along fine. Today only one of them was working. So what happened? This one guy then starts to bad mouth the other where he started to tell people how silly he thought the other person was as an actor and career wise he thought he was a joke.
Result? Everyone actually started to believe his point of view even though they never met the other guy. Some of the info he was giving seemed completely wrong too based on the information I do know about the other person. I was just thinking how that would affect his career.
Obviously it shouldn’t be too big of a deal since it’s just amongst a small group of people, but that should sure make you think about how fast a little hearsay can spread. I have often found it to be a very small world too when it comes to the film business and at times like that I would say it is better to keep your fiery comments to yourself.
