    I don’t remember when I first noticed Matt Hamilton, but I’m sure it was a Hallmark movie that brought him to my attention. Since his appearance in one of the Gourmet Detective films, I have been closely following his career. In recent times, his significant works have been steadily increasing, and this season, we have the opportunity to see him in […]

    Some time ago, I discovered the screenwriter, Carley Smale, due to her substantial work with the Hallmark Network. Back then, we discussed how she began her career and included some of her early works in our conversation. However, over the past couple of years, Carley has become a prolific writer of Lifetime Christmas movies, and there is no doubt about […]

    There is a standing joke amongst those who regularly follow my interviews. Invariably, I will interview the murderer from one of Hallmark’s mystery movies, and although that wasn’t necessarily the case the last time I interviewed Preston Vanderslice, it wasn’t too long after that when he emerged as the unassuming nemesis bent on destroying Lori Loughlin’s character once and for all […]

    Last year, I had the supreme honor of becoming acquainted with one of the loveliest ladies in the world (and I don’t say that glibly). Making authentic connections with women is a skill I have had to acquire over the course of my life, but women like Lindsay Maxwell make my task very easy. From the first moment Lindsay and […]

    Sometimes as I scroll through Instagram, a certain picture will catch my eye, and upon further investigation, I discover an industry professional whose name I do not recognize. This is exactly how I was introduced to Jovanna Burke, and upon further investigation, I realized I had seen her in more than one Hallmark movie. Moreover, she was scheduled to appear […]

    I have come to anticipate exceptional things from every year’s Hallmark Hall of Fame movie, especially the ones that appear at Christmastime. And this year, Christmas Everlasting was no exception to that rule. Christmas Everlasting was based on Marie Bostwick’s novel, The Second Sister, and recently, I had the opportunity to interview this best-selling author about her career, including this phenomenal experience […]

    In my neverending quest to highlight those who are often in the background and may be inadvertently overlooked by the casual viewer, I happened upon the delightful and talented Taylor Hastings. Hallmark audiences are very familiar with her skillset since she has appeared in a wide assortment of the network’s movies, but sometimes we forget to probe further to discover […]

    This past summer, one of my all-time favorite people in the world (Paul Greene) tweeted out the fact that he had just finished filming a wonderful Christmas film called Buttons starring Dick Van Dyke and Angela Lansbury. Of course, I was intrigued because those two are absolute legends as far as I’m concerned, and I anxiously awaited more information. Recently, that […]
