Interview With Actress Andrea Brooks, “Jingle Around the Clock” & “When Calls the Heart”
One of the dearest people I know in the When Calls the Heart family has to be Andrea Brooks. She was one of those very first interviews I ever did (I actually interviewed her back when she was NOT popular and the fans were insisting that she leave Jack alone!), and I’ve never forgotten her professionalism, her kindness, her talent, and […] -
Interview With Actor Franco Lo Presti, “Christmas Catch”
While I make it a priority to watch Hallmark network Christmas movies, I do my best to watch the Christmas movies on other channels as well. Sometimes I find a gem that for which I was not searching, and in the case of Christmas Catch (which I saw on UP TV), I was pleasantly surprised with the actor who played the lead, […] -
Interview With Actor Mark Humphrey, “Christmas Bells Are Ringing”
Can you believe it, Hearties? I have had the supreme honor of interviewing Mark Humphrey three times now, and each time I do, it always becomes one of my favorite conversations. When I realized that Mark was in a new Christmas movie for Hallmark this season, I KNEW I had to do another follow-up interview, and I’m happy to present […] -
Interview With Actress/Executive Producer Brooke Nevin, “Jingle Around the Clock”
If I remember correctly, about a year and a half ago, Paul Greene and Brooke Nevin were on Home & Family and participated in a joint Facebook live. At the time, Paul posted a comment saying that not only would he like to work with Brooke one day, but he thought that I should interview her. From that moment on, […] -
Interview With Actress Cassandra Potenza, “Once Upon A Christmas Miracle”
If you were amongst the viewers who watched and enjoyed Once Upon A Christmas Miracle this year (either on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries or on the W Network), you were a part of record-breaking network history. There is no doubt about it that this based-on-a-true-story movie resonated with an extensive segment of viewers this holiday season. There is also a chance […] -
Interview With Actor Gage Graham-Arbuthnot, “A Veteran’s Christmas” & “Christmas At Grand Valley”
I always make the claim that Hallmark consistently selects the best young actors for their productions. And in the case of the upcoming Hallmark Movies & Mysteries film, Christmas At Grand Valley, that is decidedly true. Recently, I connected with Gage Graham-Arbuthnot, who plays the son of Brennan Elliot‘s character in the film, and I discovered that this movie will not […] -
Interview With Actor Jaime Callica, “Memories of Christmas” & “Christmas On Holly Lane”
Even though the Hallmark movie The Bridge may not be my all-time favorite movie on the network, I must say that the most special thing about the movie is that it introduced me to the great Jaime Callica. From the moment I saw him in that film, I became a champion of his works. Through all the ups and downs […] -
Interview With Actress Courtney Gonzalez
I don’t remember when I first came across the actress Courtney Gonzalez, but I seem to remember seeing a random Instagram post by her that mentioned Hallmark and/or maybe other shows as well. All I know is that when I reached out to her, she was very willing to do an interview with me, and I was happy to highlight […] -
Interview With Actor Kristoffer Polaha, “Small Town Christmas”
I suppose that I am consistently drawn to individuals in the film/TV industry who have labored intensively to create their own unique identities within a society that often preaches conformity and not rocking the boat nor stepping out of one’s comfort zone. And in the case of Kristoffer Polaha, it is safe to state that his persona is unlike any […] -
Interview With Director Richard Gabai, “A Gingerbread Romance”
I am always pleased to welcome a director to the Hallmark network by highlighting them in an informative interview, and because of my friendship with Giles and Jocelyn Panton, I discovered that Richard Gabai had come on board to direct his first Hallmark Channel movie, A Gingerbread Romance. Thankfully, he was agreeable to being featured in a brief article, and as […]
