A professional Bermudian actor welcomed three new roles after he was cast in two popular television series and a sports documentary.

Rian Michelsen appeared in two episodes of the Netflix show Ginny & Georgia and one episode of the Amazon Prime comedy-drama Overcompensating.

He is set to appear in a hockey film that will be shown in the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto.

Mr Michelsen, who lives in the Canadian city, said that many details about the production remained under wraps.

However, he added: “I think hockey fans from any generation will really enjoy the film.

“I had heard that the film it’s replacing ran for 12 years, so it’d be really great to be a part of something with that sort of longevity.”

Ginny & Georgia tells the story of a single mother who tries to build a new life with her two teenage children.

Mr Michelsen appeared in the third season, which was released in June, as Tucker Matthews, a classmate of the titular teenage daughter, Georgia Miller.

He also appeared in the pilot episode of Overcompensating, which tells the story of a young man’s first experience in college, as Tim Watkins, the high school boyfriend of one of the main characters.

The young actor described both of his characters as “kind of jerks,” which he said felt very fun to play.

He explained: “When a character is different from you as a person, it gives you a great chance to ask why.

“Once you can empathise with a character, you can make interesting choices as an actor.”

He said that his time on the set of Ginny & Georgia was his first being with an ensemble cast that already had established relationships with one another.

Mr Michelsen explained: “My days on set were right at the beginning of filming the new season, so it was like all of these friends were coming back to school after a long summer.”

He added that despite the firm friendships among cast members, everyone was “welcoming” and they often played games between takes.

Mr Michelsen said the experience taught him the value of having connections with “scene partners”, adding: “I think their relationships off camera make for compelling relationships on it.”

The actor noted that his work on Overcompensating resulted in his first time being on the set of a comedy.

He added that shooting scenes in that environment was something he had never experienced before.

Mr Michelsen said: “There was a really amazing sense of collaboration happening between the actors and the director.

“For such a short scene, I had never heard so many ideas thrown around. It was a lot of fun.”

Mr Michelsen said that his character had mostly appeared in the show as photographs over social media.

He said that because of this much of his time was spent walking around the set having a “photoshoot”.

Mr Michelsen said: “There were probably close to 400 photos taken of me that day in different outfits doing all kinds of things like throwing a football around, hanging out with girls and sitting on stairs.

“What’s funny is, I think maybe two of those photos were used in the final edit.”

The hockey film in which Mr Michelsen features is set to be released this autumn.

He said that despite being shot throughout the night, making the film was “an absolute blast”.

Mr Michelsen added: “I made some great friends while filming and we joked that it was a good thing we got along so well given we were having to shoot at night.

“It’s definitely a weird experience walking on to set at 6pm and having everyone say good morning to you, then saying goodnight when we wrap the next morning at 6am.”

Mr Michelsen, who moved to Canada when he was 14, appeared in several Canadian television shows as a child, including Flashpoint and Murdoch Mysteries.

He also appeared in the Gilbert & Sullivan Society of Bermuda’s production of The Addams Family as Lucas, the love interest of protagonist Wednesday Addams.
