Connor Storrie

Connor Storrie (born February 22, 2000) is an American actor. He gained prominence for his breakout role as Ilya Rozanov in the Crave original television series Heated Rivalry (2025–present).

Storrie was born on February 22, 2000, in Colorado, and was raised in Odessa, Texas. During his childhood, he trained in gymnastics, where he was a competitive tumbler. Storrie attended a performing arts school after developing an early interest in acting. Before the 2008 financial crisis, both of his parents worked in the mortgage industry.

As a teenager, his family moved near Ventura, California, in the Los Angeles area. He spent his junior year of high school studying abroad in France, where he became proficient in French. Storrie later pursued acting professionally while working as a restaurant server. He took improv classes with The Groundlings in Los Angeles.

Storrie began his acting career in 2018, appearing in short films and minor roles. He played Liam Hauser in the 2023 feature film Riley. In 2024, he appeared in the DC Comics film Joker: Folie à Deux as an Arkham Asylum inmate who kills Arthur Fleck, with the film implying that his character becomes the Joker. Storrie stated in interviews that he was required to keep his role and involvement a secret for nearly two years before the film's release. Following Joker: Folie a Deux, Storrie continued to work as a waiter while auditioning. He also began to study clown after seeing a show by Natalie Palamides and Courtney Pauroso. Storrie attributed his ability to respond to audiences and manage uncomfortable acting situations to the discipline of clown.

In 2025, Storrie was cast as Ilya Rozanov in the Canadian sports romance television series Heated Rivalry, based on the Game Changers novel series by Rachel Reid. In preparation for the role, Storrie studied the Russian language and developed a Russian accent for his English-language dialogue. His performance received critical praise and brought him international recognition, with several publications describing it as a breakout role. Storrie reunited with his Heated Rivalry co-star, Hudson Williams, in the romance fantasy audio series Ember & Ice, produced for the audio platform Quinn, voicing the character Dane. The series' three episodes were released between December 30, 2025, and January 5, 2026.

In January 2026, Storrie signed with Creative Artists Agency for representation. On January 25, Storrie and Williams were torchbearers in the 2026 Winter Olympics torch relay in Feltre, Italy. Storrie hosted Saturday Night Live on February 28. One of the sketches featured an injured stripper performing at a bachelorette party, which was a character he had created during his time in improv and clowning.

Storrie has a matching "sex sells" tattoo with his Heated Rivalry co-star Hudson Williams, which commemorates both their friendship and their work on the series.

In a 2025 interview with Vulture, Storrie mentioned that one of his hobbies is making rhythmic noise music.
