A Huntsville native’s acting profile is about to get a lift. Grayson Thorne Kilpatrick will have a recurring role on season two of “Chad,” the acclaimed TBS comedy series created by and starring “Saturday Night Live” alum Nasim Pedrad.
The role Grayson Thorne Kilpatrick tested for was originally called “Fat Kid at Halfpipe.” It was a bit part in the 2015 Mark Wahlberg and Will Ferrell comedy film “Daddy’s Home.” Kilpatrick was around 9-years-old when he was cast in it.
The Huntsville native’s profile is about to get a hard-earned lift. Kilpatrick has landed the recurring role of “Ethan” in season two of “Chad,” the acclaimed TBS comedy series created by and starring “Saturday Night Live” alum Nasim Pedrad. “Chad” season-two arrives July 11. Asked for details about his character, Kilpatrick says, “I cannot tell you anything other than I am in it and it was very fun to film.
An actor’s life is famously difficult for the vast majority of those who pursue it. Many no’s for every yes. It’s a challenging existence for adults let alone children. But Kilpatrick seems to have his headspace dialed in. Asked how he handles the valleys of an acting career, he says, “There’s other things that are going to be out there. It’s like, well, on to the next.”
Now basked in Jacksonville, Florida, Vinson has appeared in close to 100 movies, including an upcoming Kathleen Turner and Anna Ferris comedy called “The Estate.” His TV credits include “The Walking Dead.” Back in his Huntsville days, Vinson would give Kilpatrick one-on-one lessons at a local coffee shop.
After Grayson had built up chops and experience, people he worked with told his parents he was ready to go to Los Angeles, the epicenter of showbusiness. “We took a vacation out there,” Sherry says, “And for the two weeks that we were out there he auditioned every single day. We only had one day free.” Grayson’s manager told Charles and Sherry that wasn’t enough to take his career to the next level. Grayson needed to move to L.A.
