Yet again, my attention to the supporting cast members of any production combined with Hallmark’s willingness to feature lesser known actors has produced an interview that viewers may not find anywhere else. And frankly, that’s the way I like it. A little while ago, Jason McKinnon, whom Hearties saw featured as Mr. Higgins in season four of When Calls the Heart, […]

I’ve mentioned it before, and I will declare it again and again. Hallmark has a knack for providing younger actors and even unknown actors some of their most notable roles and once established with the network, Hallmark excels at the loyalty factor by bringing them back in subsequent roles. In fact, sometimes actors’ experiences with the Hallmark network are what […]

Filled with suspense, humour, and irresistible cuteness, Animal Planet’s new 12-part original Canadian series WILD BEAR RESCUE takes viewers to Northern Lights Wildlife Shelter in beautiful British Columbia, where Angelika and Peter Langen care for 40 at-risk black bear cubs as they prepare for a second chance at life in the wild. Recently, I had the opportunity to watch the […]

For those who know me, it should come as no shock just how much I love Paul Greene! I have done two interviews with him that still dominate the top five all-time popular posts on this site. When Paul contacted me last week from Costa Rica to ask if I’d like to do another interview with him in light of his […]

Within the past year, I have had what some would call a “crash course” in the horror film genre. Just like I used to abhor science fiction with a vengeance and now consider it a favorite of mine, I have found myself tempering my beliefs a bit on this beloved genre as I begin to interact with people who have […]

I have a really good friend (who incidentally happens to be an actor) that recently discovered just how much I adored mysteries–much to his chagrin, I must admit, but that’s another story. Regardless, I have fancied mysteries from the time I fell in love with Hamilton Burger, the district attorney from the old Perry Mason series. From there, I transitioned to Columbo, […]

Since I can easily be described as having an eye for detail, and most know of my penchant for going out of my way to recognize the supporting cast members, my discovery and subsequent interview of Bethany Brown was a true joy and delight. Due to my hectic schedule, this was one time in which I had to entreat her […]

We are now more than halfway through the Hallmark’s quartet of wedding films to celebrate “June Weddings.” And as we approach Saturday, June 17th, Hallmark viewers are in for a tantalizing treat! Mick Turner and Olivia Parsons were college sweethearts until he left the relationship to go on tour with his band. Now, years later, Mick needs a silent partner […]

So have you heard of the movie Never Let Go that was just released last week in the U.S.? I had the opportunity to see this phenomenal, inspiring, and moving film last year, and my review appears here. Many people wonder about the inspiration behind this story and what would have prompted Director Howard Ford to write such a gripping tail. […]

I sometimes wonder where and how I happen upon certain actors, and more often than not, it is as simple as, “I saw you on thus-and-such, and I’d love to interview you.” And that is exactly what happened with Grainne McDermott. I happened to see a holiday movie featuring this young actress, and when I looked up her body of […]
