Travis Kelce wants to land more movie deals after being cast in Ryan Murphy's newest horror television show, Grotesquerie.

Travis' appeal to movie producers and casting directors came during his conversation with his brother, Jason Kelce, in their New Heights podcast episode.

"Other than the movie is getting made, and I'm looking for movie deals - that's about all they got [right]," Travis said, referring to the rumors that he will be appearing in the sequel of Happy Gilmore.

Kelce even admitted that he didn't know there was a job opening for the Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore movie. But if there was, the NFL star says he'd be a "f---ng extra" or "anything" just to be in the film.

"Count me in! Obviously, been a huge fan of the Sandman, but yes this is exactly what it says it is -- a conspiracy theory," Travis said about the internet rumor.

However, Travis' brother, Jason, was more hopeful than anyone that his brother would be in the film.

"Who knows? A theory, theories can come true," Travis added. "Theories can be true, and people just don't know about it. So, I might even be in the talking and nobody knows about it, but I could also not be in the talking."

As the two talked about Travis' hopes of being cast in the Happy Gilmore sequel, the Chiefs' tight end suggested that he could play the role of the late Bob Barker in the sequel, considering that he, too, had played a game show host in the new Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader.

"Oh, you're not Bob Barker. Let's be honest," Jason teased, prompting Travis to agree before saying that he would "do anything in the movie," and be part of it.

Kelce's appeal to look for more movie deals is similar to his girlfriend, Taylor Swift's side job as an actress.

Swift has been cast in various films before. She has appeared in Valentine's Day, The Giver, Cats, Amsterdam, and her Grammy-winning short film All Too Well: The Short Film.

As for Travis, Grotesquerie would be his first foray into acting.

"It's been so much fun," Travis said about filming Grotesquerie. "Ryan Murphy is [an] unbelievable writer, director, producer, all of the above, man. He's just - there's nothing he can't do and everybody's just been so helpful in making me feel comfortable."
