Amplified Signs ‘Heated Rivalry’ Actor Robbie G.K.

EXCLUSIVE: Robbie G.K., a Canadian actor who can currently be seen in the Crave/HBO Max sensation Heated Rivalry, has signed with Amplified for management.

In case you’ve somehow missed all the headlines on Heated Rivalry, the show is an adaptation of the novels by Rachel Reid which broke out as a cultural phenomenon when it made its way to HBO Max in select territories after debuting on Crave in November 2025.

Created, written, and directed by Jacob Tierney, the show centers on two fiercely competitive NHL superstars — Canadian golden boy Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) and volatile Russian Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie) — who begin a secret, years-long enemies-with-benefits affair that slowly evolves into an all-consuming love neither of them is prepared to face.

G.K. plays smoothie shop barista Christopher “Kip” Grady. Others in the cast of the show, which has already been renewed for a second season, include François Arnaud, Christina Chang, Ksenia Daniela Kharlamova, Sophie Nélisse, and Dylan Walsh.

Other recent credits for G.K. include recurring roles on CBS/Paramount+’s Sheriff Country and Benito Skinner’s Prime Video comedy series Overcompensating. He’s also been seen in Hulu’s dystopian sci-fi musical series Utopia Falls and the thriller Marry F*** Kill on Tubi.

“Heated Rivalry has become a cultural phenomenon, and we are incredibly excited to work with the amazingly talented Robbie who contributed greatly to its success,” the Amplified principals told us.
