I can’t recall the first time I noticed Mark Brandon in a Hallmark network film, but I know for certain that he was on my radar for quite awhile as over the past couple years, Hallmark has utilized his talents fairly regularly. Recently, a fan suggested that I should interview him, and once he agreed, we scheduled one as soon […]

As I have stated in the past and continue to maintain, Hallmark does an incredible job of featuring the supporting cast in their various films, and their loyalty transcends that of many other more prominent networks. In the case of Peter Benson, I was familiar with his works long before I was aware of who he was, and Hallmark has […]

Thanks to my association with the Artemis Film Festival, I am consistently encountering dynamic stunt people (and the vast majority that I know are women). In the case of Dayna Grant, I happened upon her as a result of the Artemis, and recently she agreed to answer a few questions about her career, including how she got started, her current […]

There is something about the unadulterated exhilaration of youth, and when this type of young person enters the world of entertainment, I would venture to say the sky is not even the limit. Ashley Seal came on my radar due to my passion for independent films, and I am so grateful that she agreed to answer a few questions recently. […]

I could not establish why the name Bradley Stryker sounded familiar when I first reached out to him for an interview concerning Chesapeake Shores, but once I realized that he shot a film last year with one of my dear friends, I instantly recalled the reason. Regardless, watching him in Chesapeake Shores as John Rawl has been a joy, and having the […]

When I am asked how I “discover” certain actors and industry professionals, the best response I can give is that it sometimes happens almost by “accident.” Of course, as a woman of faith, I don’t put credence in that philosophy; God has ordained every step I take, and I will firmly stand on that conviction until the day I die. […]

I am unquestionably ecstatic when an agency contacts me to interview one of their enterprising actors, and when those professionals are connected to correspondingly amazing Hallmark projects, that is like virtual icing on the proverbial cake. In the case of Sarah Edmondson, Hallmark audiences are certain to recognize her from a variety of projects, Hallmark and otherwise, and I couldn’t […]

While it might seem a bit unusual, on occasion, I savor the joy of discovery through “Twitter scavenger hunts” in which I explore new projects and actors. In the case of Brianne Davis, although officially I had been following her work for some time, I had not investigated her works in detail. When I discovered that her star was on […]

Because of my association with Holly Carinci of Hollywords Publicity Group, I am often alerted to unique, gifted professionals within the entertainment universe that I may otherwise overlook. And in the case of Cory Grüter-Andrew, I have Holly to thank for introducing me to such an enchanting, energetic young actor. Recently, Cory and I were able to chat about two […]

Positive young people and Hallmark are always a winning combination. I sometimes wonder how Hallmark continues to uncover and feature these hidden gems with amazing talent who have remained unspoiled by the brutality and cynicism that habitually permeate this business. In the case of Hallmark, this trend continued last season during the popular show Good Witch when Alanna Bale was added […]
