The Hollywood Reporter • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Connor Storrie, breakout star of Canadian drama Heated Rivalry, earned his first Emmy nomination for best guest actor in a comedy for hosting Saturday Night Live earlier this year, marking a unique recognition separate from his Canadian work.
- Heated Rivalry was ineligible for the Emmys due to its Canadian financing, but Storrie qualified through his SNL appearance, where he also featured his co-star Hudson Williams in a sketch.
- The Texas-born actor was ineligible for the Canadian Screen Awards despite Heated Rivalry winning 16 awards there, including best drama series and multiple acting and directing honors.
- Since Heated Rivalry's debut, Storrie has taken on new projects including the A24 comedy Peaked and a multi-episode arc on Criminal Minds Evolution, while also gaining luxury brand ambassadorships and high-profile appearances.
- Heated Rivalry, renewed for a second season, follows a fictional hockey rivalry-turned-romance and is based on Reid's novels; Storrie will return to filming this summer for a spring 2027 release of the new season.
