Travis Kelce has been actively building an acting career, moving beyond his decade-long tenure with the Kansas City Chiefs. In 2020, he made his screen debut on Showtime's Moonbase 8. He later hosted Saturday Night Live in March 2023, subsequently signing with CAA. His acting presence grew in 2024 with a role as Ed Laclan in Ryan Murphy's FX horror series Grotesquerie.
Kelce also appeared in the Netflix sequel Happy Gilmore 2, released on July 25, 2025, where he played a waiter. Critics noted his performance, with co-star Christopher McDonald praising his comedic timing. This role followed his hosting duties on Prime Video's Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?
Looking ahead, Kelce is reportedly attached to star in Lionsgate's action-comedy Loose Cannons. Chad Stahelski, known for the John Wick franchise, is producing. However, details like a director and filming schedule remain unannounced, with production likely contingent on his NFL commitments.
Beyond acting, Kelce has executive produced films such as the war comedy-drama My Dead Friend Zoe and the documentary Jean-Michel. These ventures suggest a strategic approach to his career, focusing on both on-screen and behind-the-scenes opportunities.
