My friends and I simply can’t (and won’t) shut up about the HBO Max hit, Heated Rivalry. Some friend groups love wine tasting, and others love board game nights. We, as a whole, love Heated Rivalry. And we don’t even like hockey! But, even so, my friends and I can’t get enough of this electric romance, which is hot enough to melt the ice off the whole rink!
It's shocking to think the main stars weren't household names before the show premiered. Now that it's taken off, it seems like the only names I ever hear are Hudson Williams and Connor Sorrie. If you’re also addicted to the show and want to see the stars of Heated Rivalry in other exciting performances, look no further. Here are the top shows and movies your favorite ensemble cast members have acted in, before making it big on everyone’s new favorite HBO Max hit.

Hudson Williams
Can we talk about how phenomenal Hudson Williams is in Heated Rivalry? He brings depth and nuance to the role while maintaining palpable chemistry with his co-star throughout. I knew I’d seen him around somewhere on the small screen, but I couldn’t place my finger on where. So after a quick IMDb search, I realized that Williams has actually been in quite a few projects at just 24 years old before snagging his role in the hockey romance series.

The actor gave his all in season 2 of the hit showTracker, starring Justin Hartley (best known as Kevin in This is Us). Additionally, he appeared in the popular series Allegiance, which continues to make waves in Canada and around the world. Before his big break, he starred in a handful of films, like his role as Cory Vasquez in the drama Over the Edge. Shown above is him on the set of upcoming proof of concept Public Swim.

Connor Storrie
Then we have Connor Storrie, who brings so much gravity and charisma to his role! Seriously, someone give this man all the Emmys. At just 25 years old, he has an impressive resume under his belt. Most notably, he starred in Joker: Folie à Deux, aka the Lady Gaga sequel to The Joker, which divided the world in 2024. He also acted in April X as the character Baxter, giving his all to the role.

After the success of Heated Rivalry, I’m sure there will be a plethora of more projects for us to look forward to from these two.
