\n\tThroughout the season, the witches have been doing everything in their power to defeat young Mr. Nas (aka Satan, played by Paul Anthony Kelly<\/a>). Following last week\u2019s major revelations<\/a> that Ben (Joey Pollari) is Satan\u2019s son and that Constance Langdon and Fiona Goode (both played by Jessica Lange) are twin sisters and daughters of Satan and Sister Jude (also played by Lange), the stakes reach their highest point in Thursday\u2019s finale.<\/p>\n \n\tIn the concluding episode, young Mr. Nas kills his medical specialist, Mr. Phibes (John Waters), as well as the older version of himself. Meanwhile, Fiona introduces Constance to the basics of witchcraft, hinting at her potential place within the Coven. Ben and Madison\u2019s (Emma Roberts) romance also takes an unexpected turn when, immediately after the two have sex, Madison becomes pregnant and gives birth to their daughter. When the newborn appears to be dead, young Mr. Nas brings the baby back to life.<\/p>\n \n\tBut the witches aren\u2019t done fighting. After Mallory (Billie Lourd) travels through time once again, she and Cordelia (Sarah Paulson) realize what they must do to save the world: convince Ben to sacrifice himself. Ben ultimately agrees and stabs himself in the heart with a sword, turning to ashes and defeating Satan. Young Mr. Nas is left trapped inside The Last Supper painting \u2014 a fate Constance foreshadowed during her first meeting with Ben in the season premiere<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\tThe Hollywood Reporter spoke with Kelly about playing the central villain of AHS: 13, working alongside Lange, his character\u2019s fate and whether he\u2019d be interested in returning \u2014 or thinks Mr. Nas could return \u2014 for the already-renewed 14th season of Ryan Murphy<\/a> and Brad Falchuk\u2019s series.<\/p>\n \n\t***<\/p>\n \n\tWhen you first signed on for the season, did you know what your character\u2019s ending would be, or when did you find out?<\/p>\n \n\tOh, boy. I didn\u2019t really know anything about how the season would go. They were writing it as we went along. I think there were maybe five episodes when I started, and there are 13 episodes in the season, so things change, things go and just play along.<\/p>\n \n\tHave you watched the finale yet?<\/p>\n \n\tI have not.<\/p>\n \n\tHave you been watching the season as it\u2019s been airing? Are you going to be watching the finale live? <\/p>\n \n\tI have not. No, I\u2019m currently filming The Housemaid\u2019s Secret. [As far as the finale], perhaps. I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m pretty busy at home with the baby, so my TV time doesn\u2019t really exist anymore. I get to work on TV but not watch it. (Laughs.)<\/p>\n \n\tWhat was Satan\u2019s ultimate plan for Ben?<\/p>\n \n\tI think that he would have been the second in command. You know, definitely try to lure him into the family business, as it were.<\/p>\n \n\tWhat was your reaction to Ben sacrificing himself to defeat you?<\/p>\n \n\tWell, I was flabbergasted. (Laughs.) I\u2019m very unimpressed. Very disappointed in his choices.<\/p>\n \n\tAt the premiere, you told me your character<\/a> had some good. In the finale, we see him show mercy to one of the men in the opening scene, and later to a dog. Then he saves Madison and Ben\u2019s child. Is that what you meant? What good did you see?<\/p>\n \n\tYeah, that\u2019s it. He decides to call it all off to end the great game; he saves a few people along the way.<\/p>\n \n\tWhy did he allow the Coven to get so close to defeating him?<\/p>\n \n\tWell, Sarah Paulson\u2019s character is his grandchild, so you know, it\u2019s a familial thing.<\/p>\n \n\tCould you explain the final scene with John Waters\u2019 character? Is that just him back in hell?<\/p>\n \n\tYes, absolutely. Condemned him to hell, but he got everything he ever wanted. You know, he wanted to. His desire was to make that biker movie. Now he\u2019s stuck making it for eternity, and I think he loves it.<\/p>\n \n\tIn American Horror Story, there are a lot of twists; we see characters come back, and just because they die doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re necessarily dead. But this ending felt pretty final. What did it feel like for you? Is he ready dead or back in hell? <\/p>\n \n\tStuck in the painting for all eternity. (Laughs.) I think maybe it\u2019s more of a purgatory situation. I mean, he\u2019s stuck in the painting, being overwatched by the Coven. For as long as he\u2019s stuck in there, who\u2019s to say? Maybe season 18 will be the rise of young Mr. Nas again.<\/p>\n \n\tWere you told your character\u2019s fate? Do you know a true answer on that?<\/p>\n \n\tNope. I don\u2019t think anybody knows a true answer on that. It needs to be written.<\/p>\n \n\tConstance obviously made a lot of deals with your character. What do you think ultimately happens to her?<\/p>\n \n\tThat\u2019s a good question. I don\u2019t know. <\/p>\n \n\tYou filmed with so much of AHS royalty. What was your favorite or most memorable scene to film this season?<\/p>\n \n\tTango dancing with Jessica Lange. That was definitely a high point for me. <\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\tJessica Lange as Constance Langdon and Paul Anthony Kelly as Young Mr. Nas in FX\u2019s American Horror Story 13.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEric Liebowitz\/FX<\/p>\n \n\tWhat was it like filming some of the death scenes where your character has to kill people?<\/p>\n \n\tIt was a lot of fun. I mean, the prosthetic work was incredible. The effects, the blood splattering \u2014 especially when my character, young Mr. Nas, has to kill the old version of Mr. Nas \u2014 got gory. There was a lot of that black goo; it got everywhere. It was actually a little bit of a mishap and sprayed me down. It wasn\u2019t supposed to, but it was a lot of fun. (Laughs.)<\/p>\n \n\tThis is also your first season in the franchise. Was there anyone in the cast who took you under their wing?<\/p>\n \n\tI spent a lot of time with Jessica Lange, which is really incredible. She\u2019s amazing. Sarah Paulson and I are friends now. It was a great experience. I got to be around legendary actors, try to glean some things from them and have fun doing it.<\/p>\n \n\tWere you a fan of the franchise before?<\/p>\n \n\tYeah. The first couple seasons were really stellar, and then I kind of fell off [watching it], to be honest.<\/p>\n \n\tWhich one is your favorite?<\/p>\n \n\tHonestly, I really like Freak Show. Freak Show is so fun.<\/p>\n \n\tCould you see your character coming back for a future season of AHS?<\/p>\n \n\tYeah, I could. (Laughs.) Who knows with Ryan Murphy? He\u2019s always bringing things back and new twists and tales. It\u2019s very possible.<\/p>\n \n\tThe 14th season has been renewed<\/a>. What have you heard about that? Are you hoping to return?<\/p>\n \n\tIf I get the call, then yeah, I would seriously consider it. Yeah, but I have no idea. Who knows what\u2019s in store.<\/p>\n \n\tThis is your first time working in the horror genre as well. Is that a genre that you hope to continue in?<\/p>\n \n\tI would love to. Yeah, I am a fan of horror.<\/p>\n \n\t***<\/p>\n \n\tAll episodes of FX\u2019s American Horror Story: 13 are now streaming on Hulu.
