Ball is used to the cameras, though, and thus won't have problems on the "Fuller House" set. He and his family are part of the reality TV series "Ball in the Family." He is one of the three sons of former Lakers player LaVar Ball.
The show's first two episodes debuted on Facebook as part of its push to deliver original content. It is produced by Bunim/Murray Productions, which is also behind shows like "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" and "The Real World."
Meanwhile, the cast of "Fuller House" season 3 recently returned from a trip to Japan where the group filmed an episode. Show's star Candace Cameron-Bure said that the show has never done this before, including in the original series "Full House."
"If you think old 'Full House' like Disney World or Hawaii, Japan in 'Fuller House' is even bigger," the actress told Entertainment Tonight.
Ball is so far the only confirmed guest star for the third season which has been filming since the spring. Other details to the upcoming season have been kept under wraps.
Netflix will release "Fuller House" season 3 on Friday, Sept. 22, at 3:00 a.m. EST. The date happens to mark the 30th-anniversary premiere of "Full House."
