And yes, there will be hockey.<\/a><\/p>\n Actor Connor Storrie stars in Canadian romance drama Heated Rivalry<\/em> as Russian hockey player Ilya Rozanov. The show follows the secret relationship between Rozanov and Canadian player Shane Hollander (Williams) and has taken the world by storm, skyrocketing Storrie and Williams to fame practically overnight.\u00a0<\/p>\n “I think anyone can really click into the idea of love and what’s expected of you,” he told Seth Meyers<\/a> on Late Night<\/a> <\/em>of the show’s appeal.\u00a0“And in this case, it’s being a professional hockey player. I think people can click into being like, ‘How I am, what I want is not really what’s expected of me.'”\u00a0<\/p>\n While Storrie has appeared in projects like Tiny Beautiful Things<\/em> and Joker: Folie \u00e0 Deux<\/em>, Heated Rivalry<\/em> is his first major role.\u00a0<\/p>\n “I just feel really really honored,” the actor told Meyers. “I’ve worked in restaurants for years and years, up until I booked this. If Heated Rivalry did not go this well, I was already planning on getting a new job in a few months. So just to be able to act and get paid to do what I want to do and have enough money or resources to film my own things, it’s made. It’s made for me.”\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n RELATED:\u00a0Heated Rivalry’s Connor Storrie Reveals the “Craziest” Part of Playing Ilya Rozanov<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n RELATED:\u00a0Heated Rivalry’s Hudson Williams Taught Jimmy Fallon a Hockey (Boy Aquarium) Stretch<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Mumford & Sons.<\/p>\n The folk rock band has headlined SNL three times since 2012, when they made their debut with Host Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
