From the beginning of the Hallmark series When Calls the Heart, Florence Blakeley has provided humor in the form of a sort of town gossip who revels in sticking her nose in other people’s business and presenting commentary on the way in which everyone lives or should live his/her life. Although she does tend to meddle, her heart is always in the right […]

Last year when my journey of interviewing actors and industry professionals was still relatively new, I happened upon a film festival that completely changed my life in a myriad of ways. I got connected with Melanie Wise and the Artemis Film Festival, and after interviewing her last year, I made the decision to travel to LA on my own and […]

Being the massive Jesse Hutch fan that I am, I first noticed Lilah Fitzgerald on the Hallmark film Harvest Moon. This past summer, Lilah happened to join twitter, and that gave me the opportunity to contact her for an interview. Upon researching her career, I realized that I had seen her during the first season of When Calls the Heart as well, […]

  In the past couple of years, as I have received a “pass” of sorts to observe and interact with the acting community, I have discovered that they are very integrated, which is a magnetic quality that often leads to a plethora of serendipitous meetings and connections. And for me, the Vancouver community has embraced me so fully that I am frequently […]

Because of my friendship with actress Ellen Dubin and my association with Kyle Hester and the indie horror film The Chair, a certain actor’s name kept popping up in my feed about whom I knew very little–Bill Oberst, Jr. After a bit of research, I realized that much of his well-known work was in a genre I often tend to eschew–horror. While […]

A while back, I became a acquainted with the work of the actor Rick Ravanello, and through watching his films and shows, I have met other equally talented and genuinely kind industry professionals. Susan Slome happens to be one that I noticed the moment her character appeared on screen in the Lifetime movie Dangerous Company. Recently, Susan set aside some time […]

Yes, I am one of the original POstables. I watched the pilot the first time it appeared on Hallmark, and had it not been for Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I wouldn’t have discovered the art of live tweeting. I always credit that show with introducing a new social media world to me. I also remember when the character of Ramon first appeared on […]

FOR A MORE UP-TO-DATE INTERVIEW WITH ERIN KRAKOW, CLICK HERE! I readily admit to being a fan of When Calls the Heart from the moment the series was announced on the Hallmark Channel. I wasn’t familiar with any of the actors (except Lori Loughlin), but that made no difference to me. I was convinced this would instantaneously become a favorite show […]

This past summer, I was pleased, awed, and inspired to interview the ponderously talented and incredibly astute Nicole Oliver, and when I noticed that Nicole was appearing in a Lifetime movie based on the life of Britney Spears, I hoped for the opportunity to interview her yet again. Just last week, she and I chatted in depth about her role of Lynne Spears […]

FOR AN EVEN MORE UP-TO-DATE interview with Paul (including an original song performed by the actor himself), PLEASE CLICK HERE! A little over six months ago, I had the distinct privilege and honor of interviewing one of the top leading men in the Hallmark network, and that interview has reigned at or near the top of my posts on this […]
