Los Angeles, California - Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce has landed his first professional acting gig, as the athlete is set to join the cast of Ryan Murphy's latest TV project.

On Tuesday, actor Niecy Nash confirmed the 34-year-old's casting in the upcoming FX series Grotesquerie with an Instagram video featuring the man himself.

"Guys, guess who I am working with on Grotesquerie?" Nash teased before shifting the camera to Kelce, who quipped that he was in "new territory."

The 54-year-old has been a frequent muse for showrunner Ryan Murphy, having also starred in projects like Scream Queens and Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, which earned her an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in 2022.

Kelce, meanwhile, has never acted before, but he's no stranger to the TV world.

In 2016, he led Catching Kelce, a reality dating series that saw women from all 50 states compete for his heart. He also hosted Saturday Night Live in March 2023 and most recently joined the game show Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? as the emcee.

Though the tight end was well-known in the sports world for his prowess on the field, his star power rose to new heights when he began dating singer Taylor Swift last summer.

Along with Nash, Kelce will star opposite Courtney B. Vance and Lesley Manville in Grotesquerie, which is expected to premiere this fall, according to Deadline.

Murphy, who has come to dominate TV with hit programs like Glee, 9-1-1, and American Horror Story, often gives celebrities with little to no acting experience a chance to star in his work.

He famously helped Lady Gaga transition into the acting world with American Horror Story: Hotel, earning a Golden Globe for her performance in the miniseries.

Kim Kardashian was the latest A-lister to be tapped, starring alongside Emma Roberts in the newest season of the horror anthology, American Horror Story: Delicate.

Kelce's superstar girlfriend has also enjoyed some time in front of the camera, with previous acting roles in Valentine's Day, The Giver, and Cats.
