Those who have followed my work for a while know that I am one who believes strongly in highlighting young people in the entertainment industry. During season three of When Calls the Heart, I had the opportunity to briefly interview both Ava Grace Cooper and her brother, Christian Michael Cooper. While both were featured on the show, my chat with Christian […]

For a more recent interview with Kevin, please check out this post.  One of the smartest things the Hallmark Channel ever did (in my opinion) was to make the decision to schedule a series of films that correspond with each of the holidays and seasons. Due to the astronomical growth within this network (and no, I am NOT exaggerating), Hallmark has […]

As many of my long-time followers know, I was one of the most avid champions of Cedar Cove when it aired on the Hallmark Channel, and it has the auspicious honor of being that network’s first original series. I made it a point to connect with as many of the actors from that show as I possibly could, and I have […]

People who execute stunts for a living never cease to amaze me, and thanks to the Artemis Film Festival, I have been able to connect with yet another phenomenal “kickass” stuntwoman, Luci Romberg. In spite of her incredibly busy schedule, Luci and I recently chatted about a wide variety of topics, including her work in the industry as well as […]

Thanks to the Artemis Film Festival, I have great respect and curiosity concerning stuntwomen. In truth, I often am in awe of their work, and whenever I happen upon one in the profession with whom I am not familiar, I take great delight in highlighting them. Recently, Angela Meryl took some time to answer a few questions about her career, […]

I was never a “soaps” fan, so my apologies to those who are and can’t believe that I only discovered Ali Sweeney a couple years ago when she started making films for Hallmark. Honestly, every film she has made for the Hallmark Channel and the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Network has been virtual gold for the brand, and the viewers […]

There is not much better than a new Hallmark Channel film, and Campfire Kiss is definitely a new favorite of mine. Interestingly enough, I had interviewed most of the principal actors with one exception–who was Dylan Kingwell? As I was reviewing his credits, I immediately remembered his role of Victor in The Returned, but Hallmark audiences have certainly seen him in two other […]

Last year, I had the sublime opportunity to chat with Lisa Durupt, whom I knew from the popular Murder, She Baked Hallmark Movies & Mysteries film series. Little did I know at that time that Lisa would be the first of the recurring members of the cast I would interview (I believe I have now interviewed them all), and she was sweet enough […]

Almost a year ago, I had the opportunity to interview Toby Levins, an actor I only knew as Bill, the wife of Andrea (as played by Lisa Durupt) in the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries film series Murder, She Baked. I had virtually no idea of his existence outside of the Hallmark realm, but as a result of that interview, I now consider […]

Tammy Gillis is one of those actresses that you never tire of seeing on your screen, and she is particularly versatile in that you might see her in a variety of things without realizing that it is her. I was thrilled to discover that she is appearing in the next Murder, She Baked installment (that will air on Sunday, March 26th), […]
