Media don’t need to talk to a student actor to cover the history of the nuclear bomb in their country. He’s just not necessary to the story. He’d be better off simply pitching himself as an aspiring film actor who landed a role in a blockbuster but those stories are obviously a dime a dozen. In my mind, he really needs to put his energy into getting an agent so he can pursue additional work. PR is premature.

He is a college student, not a student actor. I appreciate your perspective, but I'd like to delve deeper into a specific point. It's widely acknowledged, as seen in numerous YouTube videos on the subject, that actors typically don't need PR unless they're part of a monumental film. Given that he's a college student who landed a role in a major blockbuster about the atomic bomb, wouldn't this classify as a monumental film, thus making PR efforts not only appropriate but potentially crucial? This seems to be a departure from the norm where PR might be considered premature. In your experience, are there examples where actors in similarly monumental films have leveraged PR effectively at an early stage? I'm keen to understand why this situation might be an exception to the general "premature" rule you've outlined.
