Paulo Avelino was not declared the winner nor did he belong to the Top 6 in the fourth season of GMA7′s reality star search “Starstuck”; nevertheless, lately, he has been getting one of the biggest breaks on television from among the members of his batch. Probably, his home network recognizes that his guy really has the potentials of a star and if given the proper career planning and exposure, he could be elevated to leading man status. Well, he could do a wide range of roles and has no inhibitions playing them – he could be a in drag in one show, a boy next door in another and a hunk in the next. Talk about versatility, eh?

For now, Paulo has to settle for one of those “friend-of-the-lead”-characters, such as that which he is playing in the Aljur Abrenica-Kris Bernal-led soap “All My Life”. But pretty soon, I’m sure that he will be given chunkier roles once his station proves that he has amassed a big fan base enough to carry his own show.
