Belmont Cameli may look like a hockey pro while portraying Garrett Graham in the new series Off Campus, but that was actually his first time playing hockey!
The 28-year-old actor is opening up about the training process for his role on the show and turning into a proficient skater.
“I had never played hockey before. As soon as I booked Garrett Graham, I went and I started training by myself in L.A.,” Belmont said on SiriusXM’s MLB Network Radio channel. “And then when we got to Vancouver, we did another couple weeks of bootcamp. Amazon provided us a great coaching staff, really good support system, all the best gear, and a clean sheet to skate on for two and a half hours every single day. So it was a real grind. I am happy to say now that I can skate fast and stop hard.”
Belmont also praised the crew for their skating work while shooting scenes on ice.
“You would be really impressed by the skating ability of our crew. We built a bunch of different rigs for camera. There’s the puck cam, which slides across the ice, and it has a robotic lens that somebody’s controlling remotely. Sean, our camera operator, is skating around pushing the sled… We built a rig for camera that we push ourselves…that shoots up into our grill so that’s getting the reaction shots. It’s a really innovative process. And genuinely, Albert, who is our sound guy, is the best skater in the arena at any given moment. He’s incredible!”
Off Campus‘ Ella Bright just addressed the age gap between her and Belmont in real life.
