A short time ago, I was contacted about a novelization of a movie that was released back in February based on the Biblical account of Samson. I was minimally familiar with the movie, but I wasn’t aware of the fact that Eric Wilson had published a companion novel to accompany the movie. While I have not completed my reading of […]

I first learned of the upcoming Freeform original series called Siren several months ago when I had the opportunity to interview Curtis Lum. That interview was followed closely by the enchanting Tammy Gillis. When my daughter and I sat down to enjoy the first two episodes of this series a few weeks ago, we both noticed this unique character known […]

Although I first discovered Mike Dopud through his influential role in Hallmark’s original series Cedar Cove, Mike’s career has continued to touch a wide variety of genres on several networks. While he often plays the villain or the misunderstood bad guy, Mike himself is an unpretentious, pragmatic family man who loves his chosen profession, but consistently makes the time to place […]

If you have followed me for any length of time, you know that I adore the show When Calls the Heart, and my favorite couple is Lee and Rosemary. It was not until I met Daniel Lissing that I became more enamored with Jack (I already enjoyed Elizabeth), but the Coulters will always have my heart. Last year, I had the […]

As most of my readers know, I have a deep affinity for the young people who portray the Hope Valley kids in Hallmark’s hit series When Calls the Heart, and Jaiven Natt and Carter Ryan Evancic are two of those special young men whom I have known almost from the beginning of their affiliation with the show. I reached out […]

Just today Nick Belial, director and writer of the upcoming crime/thriller film To Avenge, announced that Sarah Rodgers would be playing the role of Christina in this soon-to-be-filmed feature. While Sarah is still a novice in the realm of professional acting, it is these kinds of actors with whom I take grand delectation in interviewing. While speaking with Sarah recently, I connected […]

Yet another exhilarating casting announcement was presented today concerning Nick Belial’s upcoming crime/thriller film, To Avenge. Delaware native Nick Mielnikiewicz will be playing Dean Anderson, a role which he and I discussed with moderate detail in his recent interview. While I was previously unaware of this multi-talented young man, Nick brings incalculable talent, attainable aspirations, and impressive training to this diabolical character […]

As our fearless director/writer Nick Belial continues to roll out the casting announcements for his upcoming project,  To Avenge, I am honored to post my recent interview with  James Robinson, who will be playing Samuel Morrison. While I knew very little about James before chatting with him, Nick gave him an excellent recommendation, and it was a joy to listen to […]

Some of my readers may remember the historic interview Erin Krakow granted me at the beginning of season four of the popular Hallmark series When Calls the Heart. It was a personal moment of jubilation as I was quite honored that she took the time to recognize a freelance entertainment journalist like me. At the most recent Hearties Family Reunion, not […]

I don’t remember how long ago Catherine Lough Haggquist’s agent first approached me about the possibility of an interview with this enchanting woman, but as is typically an issue with busy, creatives, scheduling can all too frequently be a bit of a nightmare. Thankfully, Catherine’s agent and I never neglected the likelihood of this chat, and earlier this year, both […]
