Acclaimed actor Paul Anthony Kelly has signalled a significant shift in his professional trajectory, expressing a keen desire to portray a darker character in his next project.

Speaking at Disney’s Toast to Television event on Monday, the star of the hit production Love Story revealed that he is eager to move away from the grounded roles that have defined his career thus far.

During an interview with PEOPLE Magazine, the actor was candid about his future ambitions, stating, "I really want to play a villain."

Kelly has earned considerable praise for his recent performances, including a role inspired by the late son of John F. Kennedy.

However, the actor admitted he is now looking to explore uncharted creative territory by stepping into the shoes of an antagonist.

While he has become a household name for playing more relatable and heroic figures, he appears ready to embrace the challenge of a more sinister part to broaden his acting repertoire.

Regarding what lies ahead for the sensation, he teased that a new venture is already on the horizon. "I just signed on to something that I’m very excited about," Kelly shared, though he remained cautious about disclosing specific information regarding the production or his character.

He concluded his remarks by maintaining a sense of mystery, noting that "I can’t say anything yet." This transition marks a bold new chapter for Kelly, who previously focused on romantic and historical dramas before setting his sights on more complex, villainous roles in future cinematic or television endeavours.
