Vinny Pacifico is keeping himself busy on two fronts. The wrestler-turned-actor has announced he’s landed a role in an upcoming thriller/horror project titled ‘The Hours That Keep Us,’ adding yet another credit to a growing résumé that has seen him steadily carve out a presence in both the ring and on screen.
Pacifico has spent years navigating the dual demands of professional wrestling and acting, and it appears July will put that balancing act to its biggest test yet. According to a recent interview, he’s slated to shoot four separate films that month — all while continuing to compete as an active wrestler. It’s a workload that would be daunting for anyone focused on a single discipline, let alone someone committed to excelling in both.
‘The Hours That Keep Us’ is the latest addition to that film slate, with the thriller/horror genre giving Pacifico a chance to flex a different creative muscle than the action-heavy roles wrestlers typically gravitate toward. Details on the project’s cast, director, or release timeline were not disclosed.
For Pacifico, the announcement continues a trajectory that has made him one of the more versatile figures operating in independent wrestling. Whether the film schedule will impact his in-ring availability remains to be seen, but if July goes according to plan, he’ll emerge from the summer with a significantly deeper acting portfolio to his name.
