AceShowbiz - After years of portraying characters that scream and run from clowns, Sarah Paulson is eager to break out of her typecast and demonstrate her range. Paulson's frustration stems from being repeatedly asked to portray similar characters."

"All you want me to do is scream and run from a clown. You don't understand that I'm a gentle, nice, charming, funny person," she shared. Despite her acclaimed horror performances, Paulson's comedic credits are limited, though she has delivered memorable turns in romantic comedies and comedic guest appearances.

She specifically envisions a buddy picture with Cate Blanchett, who she believes is also underrated in the comedy genre. Paulson hopes to collaborate with other comedic stars such as Sandy Bullock and, if possible, portray Professor Stromwell in a potential "Legally Blonde" spin-off, a role previously played by Holland Taylor, Paulson's real-life partner.

Paulson's career is at a crossroads, with her last "American Horror Story" appearance in 2021. She has hinted at a possible return, but is adamant about exploring other genres: "I want someone to put me in a f**king comedy, nobody puts me in a comedy."

Paulson's pursuit of comedic opportunities is a testament to her versatility and her desire to challenge herself as an actress. She is eager to prove that her range extends beyond the realm of terror and that she is capable of bringing laughter to audiences.
