While it’s been 19 years since Sam Milby first entered show business, he admitted that there was a point in his career where he wondered if there is more to his career, or he is already what can be considered a has-been, or “laos” in showbiz parlance. But the actor said it was something he eventually came to terms with.
In a press conference for his contract signing with ABS-CBN’s Star Magic, Milby said being in the entertainment industry is not a stable career, a fact that celebrities need to accept.

You can have your successful [run], ‘yung sobrang ganda ng shows mo (you have a good set of projects), and after two years, wala ka nang trabaho (you don’t have any work). It happens,” he said.

However, not every cast member had successful follow-up projects.
“Looking at Hollywood, ‘Glee’ was such a successful show but not a lot of actors had a follow-up after that. So, that’s why being here for the contract signing, I feel blessed because I’m [still] going to be here,” said Milby.

But since he’s working on the upcoming drama “Saving Grace,” a concert tour, and a new film, he has no time to ponder on such thoughts.
“It’s something na normally nangyayari [when] you don’t have work. But since I’m so busy, it’s something that’s not worrying me at the moment,” he said. “But kapag tapos na [ang mga] ‘yun and wala akong ginagawa, mararamdaman ko ‘yung tengga or in-between (But when those projects are done and I’m not doing anything, I will feel lost). It crosses my mind.”
