Something Marco Grazzini really likes is making people laugh. He enjoys playing Mike in "Virgin River" because of the balance between drama and comedy — both in his character and the show. "And, in my opinion, [the comedy and humor] makes the drama and romance even better. It just, you know, primes you for it," he told Survived the Shows.

Like many Canadian actors, Grazzini is probably recognizable to the Hallmark movie lovers of the world. He's been featured in supporting roles in a handful of the network's films and starred as the leading man in Hallmark's "Right in Front of Me" and "Hearts in the Game," and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries' "Haunted Harmony Mysteries: Murder in G Major."

In "Hearts in the Game," Grazzini plays Diego, an MLB player struggling with anxiety. In another Survived the Shows interview, he shared how enjoyable it was working with his co-stars — despite the fact that he had to shoot baseball-playing scenes in the winter in Vancouver. On the film's message, Grazzini said, "I'm hoping that the movie contributes to the ongoing dialogue and de-stigmatization about mental health. We all deserve the grace to deal with life's highs & lows through understanding and support — from ourselves, from our friends and family, and from society in general."
