Chris Jericho has landed his latest acting role as he will be starring in a movie for UPtv.
The top AEW star will be part of the cast for the UPtv original movie ‘Country Hearts.’ Variety reported the news today.
Lanie McAuley, Katerina Maria, Brendan Morgan, Jeff Irving, Craig Strickland, David Pinard, Michelle Nolden, Genevieve Fisher, Roy Lewis, Lara Amersey, Greg Ellwand, Bebsabe Duque, Celine Bauwmans, and Neil Whitely will also star in the movie.
Here is the synopsis for the movie:
“The daughters of country music and rock & roll royalty who find themselves at a crossroads, torn between following their dreams of performing or helping their father run their up-and-coming horse breeding business. Between old flames, new love, best friends and family – they’ll all need the strength of each other to face the next steps.”
“After playing evil priests, insane asylum security chiefs, redneck social media whistle blowers and cult leaders, I jumped at the chance to play a nice guy for once in ‘Country Hearts!’” Chris Jericho said in a statement. “I was able to flex my acting chops and my character range in these movies and it was a blast to play Bones Jamieson…father, ranch owner and rock star…which basically mirrors me in real life!”
The movie is slated to premiere this fall. A sequel film, Country Hearts Christmas, has already been greenlit.
The cats out of the bag….Stoked to be starring in #CountryHearts on the @UPtv Network! @Variety https://t.co/YMHdxQ7bk2
