Jelly Roll has already crossed a lot of items off of his bucket list. But for Jelly Roll, being able to be in a TV show was something that had eluded him, until now.
"I want to act, really bad," Jelly Roll tells Audacy. "I know it sounds weird -- I never thought I would act. But I've been really inspired by what Machine Gun Kelly has done with his career the last three years. I'm one of the old-school guys. And this is weird, but if I see somebody do something, whatever in me, since I was a kid, instantly goes, 'Oh, that's doable.'"
In fact, if not for Machine Gun Kelly, it's likely that the "Liar" singer would have never dreamed it could happen for him.
"If I knew somebody personally that did something, I was like, 'Oh, this is achievable," Jelly Roll says. "Even if it was some third cousin's uncle played at the Grand Ole Opry, I was like, 'Whoa, we might be able to play at the Grand Ole Opry. I know somebody's third cousin uncle that played there.' And watching MGK do all these independent films has really inspired me."
The Fire Country episode is Jelly Roll's first TV show, but he has had other opportunities in front of a camera. He currently stars, as himself, in a new Zevia commercial.
Fire Country airs on CBS at 9:00 PM ET on Friday nights. The series is also available to stream on Paramount+.
