Speaking with The Sun newspaper, the former Coronation Street star said he has just finished filming a short film, something he described as a “dream come true”.
He said: “I just finished a short film, I’m loving life. This short film was a dream come true, it was a medieval short film… they built a whole set, they built me a sword from scratch. It sounds really nerdy, but for me it was so fun.
“And then from that I’m auditioning for film and TV, so I guess within the next six months you might start seeing me on your screens.”
Discussing his exit from the ITV show at the time, Luca Toolan said: “Of course when I first heard there was a mixture of emotions because I was sad that Mason was going to die and that means I would be leaving, but equally I was really excited and honoured to be part of this storyline because it’s an incredibly important issue that needs to be tackled.
“I feel so privileged to have had this opportunity to start my professional career at Coronation Street, and what a great time I’ve had.”
Sharing how he had to keep his departure a secret, he added: “I found out around February or March time, so it was a long time coming.
“It gave me the opportunity to do a lot of research into the storyline which was great.”
