The new Hallmark movie, Hearts in the Game, tells the story of a publicist, Hazel (Erin Cahill), who helps a pitcher for the New York Mets. Meanwhile, her former boyfriend from high school, Diego Vazquez (Marco Grazzini), froze during Game 7 of the World Series. However, he also happens to be the guy that shattered Hazel’s heart in high school. While this is likely to be her biggest challenge yet, Hazel takes Diego back to their hometown in Ohio to deal with what they have both left behind.

On starring in the movie, Grazzini told Digital Journal, “It was really fun to shoot. We filmed it in Vancouver. It was challenging because I had to get reacquainted with playing baseball, but it was a fulfilling time as far as being an actor goes.”

Meanwhile, he said the movie was a subject matter that was close to his heart and that he had a lovely co-star, Erin Cahill. Marco added that Erin was very generous to him and other members of the cast. Grazzini added, “Overall, it was a really positive experience.” In fact, he said that it was like they had known each other for years and that they didn’t really have to “fake it.”

About Grazzini’s character, Diego

Speaking of his character Diego in Hearts in the Game, he said he always looks for a sense of humor in his characters. In fact, he said there were definite similarities between the way Diego uses humor as a defense mechanism and that he was glad to see that in his character. Moreover, Marco said that Diego is a “very loyal person and very family-oriented, where family is very important to him.”

Meanwhile, the Canadian actor shared that the title of his current chapter of life is “Baby on the Way.” Grazzini recently shared images of his Zimbabwean other half, Alvina August’s sonogram on Instagram, clearly showing their little one. Meanwhile, Marco told Digital Journal, “I can’t wait. The baby is coming in August.”
