As a Hallmark “Super Fan,” there is nothing I anticipate more with this network than their annual “Countdown to Christmas” programming. I always believe that the movie that inaugurates this programming is an enviable position, and it just so happens this year that Marry Me At Christmas has secured this status. Upon further investigation, I discovered that the movie is based […]

I know I do an incredible amount of interviews with a wide variety of actors and industry professionals, but recently, the Hallmarkies Podcast asked for the opportunity to interview me. “Today we have a special podcast where we get to talk to Hallmark blogger Ruth Hill. We get the update on HFR3 (Hearties Family Reunion 3) and her views on Fall […]

Every so often, an actor gets a “break” that can only be described as luck (or for people of faith like me–divine intervention). And in the case of Bzhaun Rhoden, I believe he has acquired a blessing that few young people in this business receive. While there is no doubt in my mind that his uncanny talent and savvy business […]

Once in a while, a name stands out to me because it is unusual, and in the case of Teach Grant, nothing could be more accurate. I remember seeing his name pop up in the credits of a Hallmark movie, and I had considered contacting him for an interview based on his memorable name alone. When his publicist reached out […]

As my loyal readers know, I follow the Canadian film industry fairly closely, and as a result, I regularly “discover” other actors of whom I was not previously aware while I am promoting and watching the works of many of my actor friends. I do not know exactly how I happened upon Sharon Taylor, but as I examined her credits, […]

Because of my interactions the past two years with some incredible independent film champions and filmmakers, I have become a massive proponent of independent films and those involved with these projects. Once in a while, I come across such a treasured person that I am stunned that it took me so long to “discover” this industry professional. Wayne E. Brown […]

When I profess that I adore young actors, I am completely in earnest. And it seems like the ones that the Hallmark network hires are always the crème de la crème. Whether they appear in background scenes, have a line or two, or are essentially the junior leads, I am consistently impressed with their competence as well as their humility. […]

During the inaugural season of Chesapeake Shores, I had the supreme honor of interviewing the actress whose character (Leigh) caused a plethora of impassioned discussion amongst the Chessies on social media–Brittany Willacy. Interestingly enough, the tide has shifted in season two, and I believe Chessies are divided on what they currently think of her character. Regardless, I am grateful that Brittany was […]

Being the Hallmark fan and “Chessie” that I am, I consistently pay careful attention to one of my favorite shows, Chesapeake Shores, and the moment that Simon Atwater was added this season, I found myself somewhat swooning. How on earth could a girl not be charmed by a romance author with an impeccably enticing (and smoothly sexy) British accent? I was […]

During Garage Sale Mystery Month this August, the first of the four films (The Beach Murder) featured an actress by the name of Chiara Zanni. Although I had seen her name before, until I did the research, I was unaware of the assortment of talents she possesses in both voice work and on-camera work. In fact, between the months of July through […]
