Acting

By the end of the Eighties, Kelly was a husband and father and was holding down a job as a letter carrier for the Postal Service. In 1988, Kelly moved his family to Florida to raise his four kids. At his wife's urging, he auditioned for the local Theatre, in an effort to fill the void. One role led to another, until Kelly found himself being cast in leading roles, in back to back productions.

Kelly studied the Eric Morris process of acting, under Kathy Laughlin, and soon found himself booking his share of the few Film and TV roles available in the southeast at that time.

Kelly soon left his job at the post Office to work full time as an actor and moved to Los Angeles. Once in L.A., Kelly landed his first Guest Starring Television role, two months later.

Kelly lives with his family in Los Angeles county.
