Pro wrestler Vinny Pacifico cast in I Dream of Pizza, adding to résumé: Who would say no to this?

Professional wrestling is a hard sport to find a decent work-life balance around, especially if you want to become a top star in the industry. Adding film and TV endeavors to the mix creates an entirely different kind of chaotic travel schedule that few people can really balance well.

For independent pro wrestler Vinny Pacifico, finding that balance in life has been paramount. The competitor from Staten Island, New York, has been able to make a name for himself in the ring while making waves on the silver screen. Pacifico will add a new film to his impressive list of credits as hes set to appear in "I Dream of Pizza."

Directed by Matt Provenzano, "I Dream of Pizza" takes a look at a pizza-making prodigy leaving Italy for New York City to start his own pizza shop. The only issue – its been taken over by an Italian crime family. Antoinette Crowe-Legacy, Michael Leavy, Giorgio Cantarini and Vic Dibitetto are among those appearing in the film.

Pacifico told OutKick Dropkick the skills that have made him solid in the ring have also helped with his acting career as well. When Pacifico was presented with "I Dream of Pizza," he said there was no way he could turn it down.

"When they came to me about it, it was described as like a Goodfellas and Ratatouille, and I said, Wait a minute. Are you kidding me? Who would say no to this? I love Ratatouille. I'm a huge fan of that. … I love Ratatouille, like that's a great freaking movie. So, once I heard that, I was all in, and that was it, you know, we kind of just made an agreement. I said let's do it. This is something that I'm really excited about. I'm Italian myself and it's finally my first ever Italian film."

"It's about a kid who wants to have an Italian restaurant, and it kind of gets taken over by mobsters. Great story. It's a positive fun story, a lot of twists and turns to it. The cast that I mentioned isn't the full cast," he added. "There's a few more surprises getting ready to be announced soon, but I think this is gonna be really, really fun. I'm really excited about this. It's filming in New York, and I believe some of it's being filmed in Italy."

Pacifico said he felt "blessed" to be able to have the opportunities to film and continue to work in pro wrestling.

Hes been back and forth between Coastal Championship Wrestling in Florida and Hollywood Wrestling for the most part. But even as his Q score in Tinseltown increases, Pacifico said he planned on continuing his work in the ring for as long as he can.

"Until I can't do it anymore," he told OutKick Dropkick when asked if he saw a finish line for his pro wrestling career given his emergence in the film industry. "I don't wanna stop. I wanna do both until … I want to do both forever. I don't want to stop either of them and I never will stop either of them. I believe that I will find a way to keep my body healthy enough to continue wrestling no matter what. Again, everyone says that, right? Everyone says, Oh, I wanna wrestle til I can't anymore, but I'm gonna, I'm going to make sure that I keep my body healthy, that I do physical therapy all the time, that I make sure my body is up to speed where it needs to be to continue wrestling well into my 60s and 70s if I can. That's what I want."

Pacifico understood what that means – keeping his body in tip-top shape no matter what hes doing, where hes traveling or what other obstacle is in his way.

"I wanna be able to do it. It's not, like I said, it's not likely. Its a very hard-on-your-body industry. The flights, the bumping, the
