he's always wanted to be an actor but more than that he's always wanted to be famous, and even if he genuinely loves what he does his main concern is having fun and living it up and making sure he stays relevant enough to sustain this lifestyle he's gotten used to which ironically means he's always pushing himself as an actor to get in bigger and better projects and anything he thinks might win him an award - it's a weird reverse kind of ambition, if that makes sense? it doesn't hurt that he exclusively dates tabloid darlings. he's friendly and outgoing in a way that's a little hollow if you look too closely, which he's usually charming enough to keep people from doing, but someone like madison who spent years working with him before he perfected his pr veneer might know when he's turning it up to 11 or mentally checked out twenty questions ago. he's not mean or malicious but he's also more not ill-intentioned than he is actually well-intentioned, and if you're someone in the way of what he wants he won't think twice about running you over no matter how many inside jokes you carved into the walls of the o'neill together. he probably hasn't talked to anyone from the obc for years if they're not already oscar winners, but i briefly considered putting him in the fantastic four reboot so he might have casually tweeted about how proud he was of his old friend with a tbt photo until the movie came out and bombed at which point he forgot all about her existence again. tl;dr he's the worst and i apologize in advance
