NICK ZANO & LAURA VANDERVOORT IN TORONTO FOR "THE UNTITLED SANTA PROJECT"

Nick Zano & Mr. Will-W.

And all the Girls go screaming.  Yes, that's hunky Nick Zano and he's now in Toronto filming an TV Movie known only as ABC Family's The Untitled Santa Project due later this year for the Holidays.  Although details are pretty nil right now on what the Movie is actually about, we know that Zano stars as a character named David Morretti, while his Toronto-based Co-Star Laura Vandervoort stars as Jennifer Walker.  This is one of two ABC Family Holiday TV Movies being filmed in the City right now alongside 12 Dates of Christmas, which stars Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Amy Smart.

Filming began just yesterday for The Untitled Santa Project in a Residential area and continued today in an Office setting around Eaton Centre.   And a group of Zano's Female Fan Base in Toronto were out in full force showing their support yesterday which touched him enough to Tweet today, "It was great meeting everyone yesterday, thanks for the love Toronto.".  Aww!

Just a couple hours before spotting Zano, I had visited the Set of The Untitled Santa Project and had the privilege of meeting the lovely Vandervoort, who is absolutely radiant in that oh, Rachel McAdams-esque way.  She told me that shooting was going well for the Movie so far, however "it will be a very tight timeline, with 19 days of shooting only.".  They were filming Office scenes specifically today.  Vandervoort has a big title coming out later this year in This Means War, shot in Vancouver just before the Holidays with a hot Cast of Tom Hardy, Chris Pine, Reese Witherspoon and Chelsea Handler.

Myself and a couple lovely Ladies spotted Zano and his gorgeous Girlfriend Haylie Duff, older Sister of Hilary, on their way out to Dinner today and they stopped to pose for a couple Photos.  Duff was touched telling us, "It's so cold out!  You Guys are so sweet!", while Zano tells me that although this is his first time in the City, he exclaimed "I f.. (full stop) love Toronto!".

Duff flew in Friday, spending time with Friends Alanna Masterson (one of Hilary's BFFs) and Tyler Blackburn Shoe Shopping at Holt Renfrew.  Masterson and Blackburn were in-town for the Premiere of their Film, Peach Plum Pear at The Female Eye Film Festival on Saturday.  Click here to read about that Film's Premiere.

Expect big things from Zano, who will be appearing in High School Reunion Drama Ten Year alongside Kate Mara, Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum later this year.  He also will be seen in Ass Backwards together with John Cryer and Alicia Silverstone, while  Duff stars in intriguing Romantic Comedy Slightly Single in L.A. together with Dewan too later in the year.
