Those of you who follow me regularly know of my fondness for Hallmark programming in general, and it is a true joy to interview all of the cast involved with their shows, films, etc. because I figure if Hallmark hired them, they are indubitably positive, kind, generous and humble people. And all of those terms merely scratch the surface when describing the empyrean […]

Currently, one of my favorite film series is Flower Shop Mystery which has aired a total of three films this year on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries network.  One of the benefits of this series is that since they always employ top notch actors, I have come in contact with some of the finest in the business, and this now includes a lovely […]

Sometimes when a new series comes out, I might be a little wary and not ready to jump on in and support it, especially if I am not familiar with the cast, crew, etc. But after interviewing one of the minor characters in the Greenleaf series (Zachary S.Williams), I checked out the show on the OWN network and was pleasantly surprised. […]

It is always a treat to have the opportunity to bring a second interview of a colossal talent to my readers, and Jaime Callica is just that. His year has been one filled with unbelievable roles and immeasurable success, and this young man’s star continues to rise. Recently, he and I chatted about his amazing career, including recent and upcoming works as […]

Even many months after its premiere, the Hallmark film Unleashing Mr. Darcy is a film that continues to resonate with viewers. I remember noticing the actress who played an impeccably convincing Felicity in that film, and lo and behold, she appeared in the pilot for Chesapeake Shores as well. This dynamically busy new mother, Courtney Richter, recently chatted with me about her unusual start […]

Let’s face it–while most treasure the stories that Hallmark Channel customarily tells in their films and shows principally due to those mirthful, lighthearted endings, most viewers are aware of the fact that without a smidgen of conflict, the stories might fall flat. It just so happens that Michael K. Richards and his portrayal of Wes truly embed that requisite trace of family drama and contention without going “over the top.” Recently, I […]

As a now long-time Hallmark viewer, I can recall the Signed, Sealed, Delivered pilot that first aired a few years back. As that series resonated with me on an intensely personal level, seeing one of the originals on the new Chesapeake Shores show on Hallmark was especially exciting for me. Recently, Laci J Mailey agreed to answer a few questions about how she got […]

Again, I must credit the extraordinary Mitchell Kummen for highlighting yet another outstanding young person–Zenia Marshall. As Mitchell is always scrupulous when it comes to supporting his co-stars in every project with which he is involved, I was ecstatic to learn of this exquisite young lady’s inclusion in the film Summer of Dreams. Just like Sean Thomas, Zenia also agreed to answer a few questions about […]

When Mitchell Kummen began tweeting about Summer of Dreams (Mitchell is one of those young people that so completely impresses me in every way so I follow him very closely), I noticed that he kept mentioning this young musician named Sean Thomas. Now, I had never heard of this guy, but Mitchell seemed to be really motivated by and supportive of him. […]

Periodically, you might see an actor in a film or TV show and stop and marvel, “Where have I seen him before?” Thanks to our beloved digital age, we often have instant access, and it does appear that “character actors” are making a resurgence in recent times. And oftentimes, actors who class themselves in this genre have more works than we ever dreamed, […]
