Kelly AuCoin’s portrayal of Andy Roeser, the former president of the Los Angeles Clippers, in the new FX series “Clipped,” has garnered praise from critics and fans alike.
Key Takeaways
- Kelly AuCoin is in the sports drama miniseries Clipped, where he portrays the character of Andy Roeser, the former president of the LA Clippers.
- AuCoin is known for switching appearance, making his acting more realistic.
- For this role, he is speculated to have put on some weight.
The 57-year-old actor has a reputation for delving deep into his character and completely changing his appearance so that one may not even recognize him.
His dedication to the character is commendable, which is why it feels natural.
Has Kelly AuCoin Lost Weight For Clipped?
Actors commonly gain and lose weight, and Kelly is no exception.
It looks like he has put on some weight for “Clipped,” as his face appears slightly fuller.
In addition, AuCoin is wearing a wig with shorter, combed-back hair, making it harder to differentiate him.
A Skillful Actor Through And Through
Talking about his versatility, under the discussion “What actors/actresses you didn’t recognize from two different series until much later?” a fan wrote on Reddit,
“Kelly AuCoin from The Americans and Billions. I think it was maybe season 3 of Billions before it finally occurred to me that Dollar Bill and Pastor Tim were the same actors.”
Another one replied,
“Lol ya, the wig is insane, along with everything about that character”
In the crime drama series “The American” (2014-2018), Kelly plays Pastor Jim, who has curly reddish-brown hair that gives him a fuller hairstyle.
On the other hand, the actor has a completely shaved head (also his natural look) in the drama “Billions,” where he portrays ‘Dollar‘ Bill Stearn.
Changing one’s personality and appearance for a role is not easy. Hence, his skill and dedication to the craft are admirable.
