Jelly Roll started by selling CDs out of his car and ended up spending time in jail. Now he is a major star in Hollywood with a brand-new movie role. He is the voice of a big bear named Grizz in the animated sports film GOAT, which comes out on February 13, 2026. This movie is about a goat who wants to play a tough sport called Roarball.
This move to movies is a big deal because it shows Jelly Roll is famous everywhere. He acts alongside stars from big shows like Stranger Things and Bridgerton. His deep, scratchy voice is perfect for a tough but kind-hearted bear. He even has a new song in the movie trailer, “I Am Good,” which is yet to be released.
