Joey Graziadei is taking on a new role with his acting debut in The Holiday Spark, a holiday film that premiered November 2 on the Roku Channel. The 31-year-old The Bachelor alum plays Dean, a perpetually single firefighter who asks children’s book illustrator Laura, portrayed by Jamie Chung, to help organize his firehouse’s holiday party.
As they work together on the celebration, Dean and Laura begin reconsidering their ideas about romance and the possibility of finding love at first spark.
In an exclusive interview, Graziadei shared several personal details about his life and interests. He said he can fall asleep anywhere, a habit his fiancée, Kelsey Anderson, has documented in a photo album. He also described himself as highly competitive and attributed that trait partly to being a middle child.
Graziadei said he is especially fond of baggy pants, continues to make time for drawing, and regularly watches Crazy Rich Asians, particularly during plane rides. When spending time with friends, he prefers playing golf and having a Michelob Ultra afterward.
The actor also shared his enthusiasm for the Green Bay Packers and identified fresh cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning as his favorite holiday tradition. Looking ahead, he hopes to combine his tennis skills with his experience as a host in a future project.
Graziadei named Jimmy Fallon as a major role model in entertainment, saying he admires his work in both hosting and acting. The Holiday Spark is now streaming for free on the Roku Channel.
