Travis Kelce's Grotesquerie co-star Courtney B Vance speaks on 'wonderful' TE's acting debut

Travis Kelce has already created a Hall of Fame career as one of the best tight ends in the NFL. While he has stated that he doesn't intend to end his NFL career soon, he is already chartering a post-NFL career path: acting.

The tight end's interest in an acting career took its first step this offseason as he debuted in Ryan Murphy's series "Grotesquerie." In an interview with People, Courtney B Vance, one of Kelce's co-stars in the series, said:

"He was very wonderful. [It was] not a surprise, he was just prepared. He was just good. And if he needed some help, he was open."

Vance also praised director and producer Ryan Murphy for selecting Travis Kelce for the role. He said that it shows how well respected Murphy is that he could make a call and convince the Kansas City Chiefs tight end to make his debut in the series.
