Belmont Cameli, 28, plays Garrett Graham in Prime Video’s Off Campus. In an interview, he talked about filming the show’s steamy scenes, how fans sexualize him, and why comparisons to Heated Rivalry keep coming up as the series hits hard with viewers.
Belmont Cameli knew Prime Video’s Off Campus wouldn’t be one of those shows that just quietly passes the time. In the middle of the hockey romance. his character Garrett Graham is pulled into exactly the kind of attention the series is built to generate—especially when the camera lingers on the steamy moments.
Cameli, 28, stars as Garrett Graham in Off Campus, a new Prime Video hockey romance series. The show is based on the bestselling book series by Elle Kennedy. and it follows an elite ice hockey team and the women in their lives as they deal with love. heartbreak. and self-discovery. The story emphasizes forging deep friendships and enduring bonds while negotiating the complicated shift into adulthood.
Season One centers on a “sexy and fun ‘opposites attract’” romance between a quiet songwriter named Hannah and Garrett. Briar University’s all-star hockey athlete. For Cameli, that set-up comes with its own set of challenges on set—particularly around filming the series’ steamy scenes. He also addressed the intense attention from fans, including being sexualized as the show has pulled viewers in.
The conversation around Off Campus hasn’t stayed confined to the screen. Cameli also weighed in on comparisons to Heated Rivalry. the series that fans often reference when talking about the hockey romance wave. And as that debate and excitement build. the show’s fan response is clearly a big part of the story too—so much so that Cameli’s interview touches on the backlash of sorts. the fascination. and the way viewers are reacting to the characters and the chemistry.
Off Campus is now making its mark with Season One’s blend of sports, romance, and personal reinvention—while Cameli is stepping into the spotlight that comes with playing a character like Garrett and being pulled into the loudest corners of fan culture at the same time.
