Pro wrestler Vinny Pacifico joining MMA stars Paige VanZant and Mickey Gall in new film

The schedule of an independent professional wrestler is already jam packed with shows, travel, media interviews, training and everything else in between. Adding anything else onto their plates would be a near-impossible task to manage.

Pro wrestling star Vinny Pacifico is taking the challenge head on. He will be in a new movie called "The Hours that Keep Us," which features a talented cast from the sports and entertainment industries. The Tommy Dwyer-directed film will feature MMA stars Paige VanZant and Mickey Gall as well as actors Zack Ward and Chelsea Bray.

Pacifico, who was in "Mr. Reset and the Society of Turnbuckle & Bone" and "The Forsaken Few," told Fox News Digital he was ecstatic about the cast for the movie.

"That’s going to be absolutely phenomenal," Pacifico said. "The cast is insane. We got Paige VanZant. We got Mickey Gall, Zack Ward, Chelsea Brea and Tommy Dwyer – he’s the director and he’s going to be in it as well. … That film has the craziest cast you could imagine and it’s really exciting. That’s going to be a really fun movie.

"It’s one of those things where it’s like you can sit back and you’re like, wow, what a phenomenal group of people from all different industries – wrestling, MMA, film and so many different places. We have so many people in this film. So many different fan bases. It’s a really beautiful thing."

Pacifico said "The Hours that Keep Us" will be an anthology-type film with three different stories intertwining with each other.

"They’re all dark stories and they each have a connection," he explained. "Bottom line, it’s going to be special, it’s going to be different."

Meanwhile, Pacifico is still wrestling in between filming.

He talked to Fox News Digital about balancing doing everything while keeping his mental health in check.

"It hasn’t been easy to be honest. I really have not had any time for myself or just to sit still because even in between, on the days that I’m not wrestling or doing a movie, it’s answering emails, booking more stuff and doing media. … Mental health, I’ll be honest, I haven’t had time to think much," he said. "Of course, being in entertainment, we always go through moments where we have anxiety where we get mad at ourselves. We want more, we want this. We’re always critiquing ourselves in wrestling and films, as an actor. We’re always looking at ourselves like ‘What could we do better?’ But I haven’t had much time to really sit and think about stuff. I kinda have just been go, go, go, which I’m grateful for.

"But, it’s not easy because you do have to really, mindfully, take the time to step back and be like, all right, I need a few minutes to just be with my family, be with my friends or just focus on something that’s not work related for just a little. If it consumes you, it’s not always a good thing. For me, it’s like, OK, I did what I needed to do today. When ‘Mr. Reset’ came out, I had nine interviews in a row and then I went to the gym and then I had another interview and I said you know what? OK, I’m gonna do these interviews, I’m gonna go to the gym, I’m gonna everything, and then by 3 p.m., when I’m done with everything, I’m gonna put my phone down and just be with my family and be with my wife and just live. I feel you have to mindfully do those things."

Still, Pacifico said he was "grateful" for every opportunity he receives in and out of the ring.

"The Hours that Keep Us" is set to start filming next month.
