Niecy Nash-Betts couldn't have anything nicer to say about her costar — and now friend! — Travis Kelce.

The actress leads Ryan Murphy's newest thriller series, Grotesquerie, and tells PEOPLE that the Super Bowl champion was "lovely to have on set."

Grotesquerie, which premieres Wednesday, Sept. 25, marks Kelce's first-ever scripted role, and Nash-Betts, 54, says he was "very professional" and "always came prepared" to set.

00:00You know, it was funny because I saw people's reaction to him
00:04before I really could take him in.
00:07You know, all the guys, you know, these big guys on the set,

01:07to find him very charming in this role.
01:14I love actors, and I want you to win.
01:17So anything that I could do to help,
01:20to be a part of helping you create, find moments, dial
