There is a certain type of person who has to make a fuss. It's part of the job that he has. So it isn't really the person himself, it's the job requirement, but the bottom line is that he must make a fuss.
A photographer has to come with a lot of equipment and get in the way of people during an event. That's at least as important as taking good pictures. He has to show off how much he's busy doing with the lighting person and with him pushing his way into all the places. He makes a fuss of things. That's the job.
A translator has to make a big fuss. He has to entertain the client. If he sits and he translates things as the client is speaking, he types in the secondary language, then he's done a great job. But this means making a big fuss and putting on a big show. An actor or an actress doesn't even have to be mentioned. Obviously, they put on a show. A teacher is on stage most of the time. The students aren't going to pay attention unless they're entertained. And so on. Many professions require that the person make a fuss about themselves. It's part of the profession. Whether they continue to make a fuss of themselves at home or not depends of course upon the person, but the persona requires making a fuss.
