Chris Jericho has done a variety of movie cameos throughout his career including “MacGruber,” “Jay and Silent Bob Reboot,” “KillRoy Was Here” and “Terrifier 2,” among others.
Now, Variety has revealed that Jericho will star in a role similar to his personal life in the UPtv original film, “Country Hearts.” The movie will premiere sometime this fall.
The film’s summary says the plot follows “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.”
The film also stars Lance McAuley, who is best known for her recurring role as musician Emma Rogers on Hallmark’s Chesapeake Shores, and as Liza in the Netflix apocalypse drama “How It Ends” starring Forest Whitaker. Other cast members include Brendan Morgan (“The Handmaid’s Tale”), Katerina Maria (“A Beautiful Rush”) and Michelle Nolden (“The Time Traveler’s Wife”).
“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!’” 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!”
A sequel, “Country Hearts Christmas,” has already been greenlit.
