Interview With Actor Jim Thorburn, “Engaging Father Christmas”
A few months ago, thanks to the vivacious Tammy Gillis, the accomplished actor Jim Thorburn was brought to my attention (they are married, in case you were unaware). While his name was somewhat unknown to me, his talent and works included some of my classic and current favorites. As I have been faithfully following his career all this time now, I […] -
Interview With Composer Graeme Coleman, “Engaging Father Christmas”
I happened to be watching one of last year’s new favorite Christmas movies–Finding Father Christmas–and for whatever reason, the music suddenly captivated me. I don’t know why I hadn’t noticed it before. In my opinion, music which accompanies made-for-TV movies all too often leaves much to be desired. But with this film, the music is an impeccable complement to the […] -
Interview With Actress Aliyah O’Brien
Well, who would expect to “discover” a Hallmark starlet at an independent film festival? To be honest, I had seen the work and the name of Aliyah O’Brien before on various Hallmark works. Moreover, I’d even reviewed her work in a Garage Sale Mystery film a while back. But until I saw her in a short film at the Artemis […] -
Interview With Actress Chandler Kinney, “Lethal Weapon”
Because of my friend Rick Ravanello (who guest-starred on the show once last season, but apparently met an untimely death), I first was made aware of the show Lethal Weapon. Initially, I was enticed to view this show on his recommendation, but from the moment I witnessed the opening scene of the pilot episode, I was hooked. And the actress who […] -
Interview With Actress Chelsea Gill
Because David Haydn-Jones was a long-term guest star on season twelve of Supernatural where he portrayed the incomparable Mr. Ketch, I found myself thrust into a new community of fans as well as a steady stream of splendid actors with whom I was previously unfamiliar. Due to David’s unwavering support for his fellow actors, I “discovered” Chelsea Gill, an actress of […] -
Interview With Writer Rick Garman
In my opinion, Hallmark consistently hires top-notch casts and crew for their numerous films and shows. While I may not personally deem everything on the network my absolute favorite, there are a plentiful amount of movies that resonate with me and/or are just enjoyable and entertaining to watch. In the case of writer Rick Garman, he has provided the network […] -
Hearties Family Reunion Friday Interview With Cast Members of When Calls the Heart
Recently, I had the phenomenal opportunity of attending the Third Hearties Family Reunion in Vancouver (Fort Langley), British Columbia, Canada. I cannot even tell you how many dreams were fulfilled during that short weekend, and I am forever grateful to everyone who worked to make this a weekend I shall never forget. While I had my misgivings about going (after […] -
Interview With Author Gigi Garrett (Gwendolyn Heasley), “Miss Christmas”
In case you were unaware, Hallmark’s annual Countdown to Christmas programming is in full swing on its popular Hallmark Channel. In fact, they started showing Christmas movies before Halloween. Due to my unapologetic Hallmark addiction, I typically am well aware of all the programming, but I admit that my venture to Vancouver, BC for the third Hearties Family Reunion a […] -
Interview With Author Leigh Duncan, “Journey Back To Christmas”
If you are like me, Hallmark’s “Countdown to Christmas” is a tradition that is almost required viewing in my household. Last year, Candace Cameron-Bure starred in Journey Back to Christmas, one of the network’s most popular and most-watched films. My mother is not a fan of time travel tales, but this wasn’t your typical time travel story. It is a sweet […] -
Interview With Actor Hemwant Tiwari, “Medinah”
Because of my devotion to Rick Ravanello and his various works, I often find other industry professionals of whom I was not previously aware. The joy of discovery is something that is always electrifying, and so today I bring you an interview with the very first Indian actor I’ve ever had the privilege of interviewing–Hemwant Tiwari. He will soon be […]
