While I was talking to a hot 9 at The Chelsea on Saturday, I met a friend of a friend who asked me an amazingly proactive question, “Don’t you think you are giving everyone too much information, aren’t you scared?” I looked at him, and said, “That’s what makes me Arthur Kade, people want to see the ups and downs of a rising star that is not interested in just being a celebrity, but a world class leading man who is human.” We started a conversation around if I feel if I am hurting people around me by being so revealing, so open, and I told him “This is my journey, people can choose to be part of it or not, but there are millions of people who WANT and NEED me because I give them the power to dream and to live.” I get emails everyday about how inspiring “The Journey” is from all over the world, and how amazing I look and act.

Sometimes I feel like people only see how fabulous my life is, and forget that I deal with many of the same problems they do. I said to one of my good friends last week, “If you prick me, do I not bleed?” The difference is that I am willing to put it on a public forum, and show people that even greatness comes with a price. This week I have had to deal with many of these questions, because I have dealt with issues where I have had to sometimes question whether I am going too far, being too open. One friend told me, “I didn’t sign up for your new found fame”, and another recently said, “It’s your life in the Public Eye, not mine”. I never worry about myself because I have enormous brass balls, but when you care, it can be hard.

Last night, I had a conversation with a friend who told me, “Arthur, keep doing what you are doing, you are the first “”Honest Actor”". Actors present a false image, what the public wants them to see, but you don’t care about what people think of you, and that’s what makes you Arthur Kade. You’re not playing the game, your re-writing it” At that moment, I realized that I am a savior, a god to people who sit at their desk the whole day, hate their lives, and want to probably jump off a roof because they are so miserable. I am the modern day “Acting Moses”, the person who was given the drive, looks, and talent to lead my followers to the promise land, and make the impossible, possible. And the only way to do that is to push “The Journey” to unknown limits and show the world that even a celebrity deals with what they deal with.

After working with my acting coach, I went to the opening of JimmyStyle (Jimmy Contreras is one of the premier fashion opinions in Philadelphia, and opened an awesome store), and it was by invite-only from Vlahos PR (I am always invited to the top events), and then we went to a cool low-key Mexican Place in South Philly. I was a bit out of my element because it was a hipster crowd (My look has been described as Hipster Chic, which means hipster yet fashion forward), but someone told me they shun our type because of how they believe we may act too elite, although I think I can go both ways. I saw eyes there who knew who I was, but they respectfully left me alone (I needed a night to be away from my fans). Off to film “Love Taxi”, and the announcement of “My Top Fan” soon.
