Kelley's loves cereal as he calls it his "favorite snack of all time." Sometimes, as you can see above, he'll even talk about the food on social media.

"My goal is to try every cereal or be able to create my own cereal one day," he said.

While he admits choosing a favorite cereal is hard, his top choice? Cinnamon Toast Crunch.

Besides English, He Speaks…

What was discussed as part of his "Two Truths and A Lie" in a recent episode of Roll Call actually turned out to be a revelation as Kelley admitted he speaks Romanian along with English.

"I got a chance to learn the language at UCLA and can get around in Romania." He admitted he actually learned the language pretty quickly because it's Latin-based.

Fan of Music

"I'm a fan of music, sound, and instrumentation." While Kelley enjoys different types of music, he does have a few favorite genres and artists. "I really enjoy oldies and gospel. Specifically, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, and Kirk Franklin."
