Chris Jericho Starring In UPtv’s ‘Country Hearts’ Movie
On Tuesday, Variety reported that AEW star Chris Jericho will star in the upcoming UPtv original movie Country Hearts.
“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,” reads the official synopsis. “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!”
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 make up the rest of the cast.
The film will premiere this fall.
