00:00What's up, everybody?
00:01Travis Kelsey here on the set of Grotesquerie.
00:04That's right, and you guys are gonna come with me,
00:08see how I get ready for set.
00:10I'm stepping into the acting world,
00:11see if I got the chops.
00:13You guys coming in?
00:15I don't know if I'm allowed to tease
00:17what's really going on in the show.
00:19I don't want to give away anything,
00:20but this is my first time
00:22ever actually portraying another character.
00:25Every time I've ever been on screen,
00:26I've just been Travis.
00:28For me to have to understand the role,
00:31the scenes, the beginning and the end
00:33of the entire season,
00:35I was really just hoping that Ryan would help me out
00:39in making me, like, I don't know,
00:41not look like an amateur
00:42because technically I'm walking into this thing blind
00:46with it being my first time.
00:47It's been so cool to work with Ryan
00:49and not just him, I mean, everybody,
00:52the directors to the writers
00:53to everybody on set from hair and makeup
00:56to all the above.
00:58My acting professionalism going onto set,
01:01I get into my character by just understanding the scene
01:04and taking a deep breath
01:07and kind of channeling what emotion
01:09I'm supposed to be in from the jump, you know?
01:11I think that's the biggest thing for me
01:13is to completely understand the script and the scene,
01:17where it starts, where it's going,
01:19and to be able to, I don't know,
01:21be present in that scene
01:23with whoever I'm in the scene with.
01:25I kind of just flip the switch like I would
01:27if I was going out on a football field
01:30and just getting into the zone.
01:32The entire cast, the directors,
01:34the actual actors, Niecy,
01:38Courtney, Raven,
01:40everybody's just been so helpful
01:42and really in open arms to just, you know,
01:45make this the best possible TV show that we can.
01:49I've just been so lucky to be able to learn from them,
01:52take what they're giving me.
01:53There's one thing I learned from my day job in the NFL
01:57is that I am coachable.
01:58An unbelievable opportunity and a cool experience, for sure.
02:02Voila!
02:03I am TV ready.
02:04I don't know if you see anything different,
02:06but they did touch me up,
02:07made me look nice for the camera.
02:08All right, I'm about to go throw my wardrobe off.
02:11How about that? Get ready for set.
02:14Trailer live, baby.
02:17All right, guys.
02:18This is how I'm put together.
02:21I felt at home, and I really appreciate everybody
02:23for making me feel like that.
02:24Hopefully you had some fun following me along
02:27as I get ready for set.
02:28I got to go work now.
02:29So make sure you check it out.
02:31Watch Grotesquerie on FX
