Belmont Cameli is in the midst of a truly chaotic promotion week. “It’s been crazy. I can’t believe it’s coming to an end,” the 28-year-old jokes on a Zoom with The Hollywood Reporter.

It’s midday in New York, and the Illinois-born actor has just raced back to his hotel room for this conversation. It’s been a day since the release of his new Prime Video series, Off Campus, and he’s almost grateful for the sheer amount of press and activity that have prevented him from falling into the time old tradition of online doomscrolling.

“The only response [to the show] that I’ve been privy to are the text messages I’ve been receiving, which are mostly from my friends and family — and also from some people I haven’t talked to in a really long time,” Cameli says. The actor’s friends and family have been sending him photos of their watch parties to let him know they’re watching.

In the series, Cameli plays Garrett Graham, an NHL-bound college hockey captain and son of a legendary professional player. The father-son pair have an exceedingly complicated relationship that much of Garrett’s internal conflict stems from. Based on the book series by O.G. hockey romance author Elle Kennedy, Off Campus is the latest sports romance offering to hit streaming.
