Marshawn Lynch has traded his spot on the field for a spot on the screen, appearing in the trailer for Season 3 of HBO’s Westworld on Thursday.

“Beast Mode” Lynch can be seen around the 55-second mark of the trailer, standing behind actor Aaron Paul while the two walk down a dimly lit hallway. An HBO spokesperson told ESPN that Lynch has a “fun and pretty substantial” role.

This is not Lynch’s first acting credit. He has appeared in two episodes of the The League and one episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, playing himself in both.

Westworld is a critically acclaimed sci-fi/western drama that has been nominated and has won multiple awards since it debuted in 2016.
