"On some days I wake up, and I feel fine...splendid, even. I could hug the world and take it out on a beautiful day together. Other days just seem...darker than usual. Nothing is going right, and I wish good fortune on nopony at all. Both of these, and everything in between, are fine, really...because I know that something is there.
Sometimes, however, there is nothing at all, and I just feel like a shell waiting to be filled. I can't put a hoof on it, but it's those moments when all I can sense is that there is something wrong with me."
Vaudeville's passion has always been acting. Since he was a little colt, the theater had fascinated him and only served to fuel his already vivid imagination, feeding it with tales of great adventure, drama and comedy. It came as no surprise to anypony and was the happiest day in the orange earth pony's life when, during a particularly successful school play, he got his cutie mark right on stage in the middle of a scene. It looked like his path was obvious.
But sometimes a pony simply loses control over their life, and there is nothing that can be done to stop it. Maybe the critic had a bad day, or he didn't want to appear unprofessional with a too praising review. Whatever the reason the devastating article might have had, it as well as the decline in popularity and job offers that followed it were enough to send a talented young actor into depression.
Today, Vaudeville doesn't remember what caused the end of his promising acting career...or maybe he does and simply chooses not to talk about it. If one gets to talk to Vaudeville at all, that is - he never seems to be himself, instead wearing a different mask each day without 'breaking character' for any reason. Ponies talking to him are always interacting with one of the many characters he has played on stage in his time, and those who meet him more than once may come to speak to entirely different 'characters', earning the stallion quite a few odd looks on a regular basis, and little to no lasting friendships - who can believe that somepony is sincere or serious about anything if he can never be bothered to take off his many masks, after all?
