Jason told Travis, “I will agree with Mr. Winkler, though, dude. You’re killing it. Travis, I wouldn’t, I wouldn’t tell you this. But acting in front of a camera that’s right up in your face, nailing all this stuff, you’re actually a good actor.”
“Honestly, though, I’m along for the ride with everyone else,” replied Travis.
He further said, “I’m enjoying watching everything unfold. I was so in and out of LA over the off-season filming this and that.”
Meanwhile, Grotesquerie is available on Hulu.
