Interview With Author Teri Wilson, “Northern Lights of Christmas”
Ever since Unleashing Mr. Darcy came to the Hallmark Channel for the first time, I have been a huge fan of Teri Wilson. With the fourth movie connected with her books and characters premiering on the Hallmark network tonight (December 15th, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries), I am honored to be able to feature her yet again on my site. RH: […] -
Interview With Screenwriter Carley Smale, “Christmas Pen Pals”
Some time ago, I discovered the screenwriter, Carley Smale, due to her substantial work with the Hallmark Network. Back then, we discussed how she began her career and included some of her early works in our conversation. However, over the past couple of years, Carley has become a prolific writer of Lifetime Christmas movies, and there is no doubt about […] -
Interview With Actor Preston Vanderslice, “Mingle All the Way” & “Small Town Christmas”
There is a standing joke amongst those who regularly follow my interviews. Invariably, I will interview the murderer from one of Hallmark’s mystery movies, and although that wasn’t necessarily the case the last time I interviewed Preston Vanderslice, it wasn’t too long after that when he emerged as the unassuming nemesis bent on destroying Lori Loughlin’s character once and for all […] -
Interview With Actress Lindsay Maxwell, “Time For Me To Come Home For Christmas”
Last year, I had the supreme honor of becoming acquainted with one of the loveliest ladies in the world (and I don’t say that glibly). Making authentic connections with women is a skill I have had to acquire over the course of my life, but women like Lindsay Maxwell make my task very easy. From the first moment Lindsay and […] -
Interview With Actress Jovanna Burke, “Welcome To Christmas”
Sometimes as I scroll through Instagram, a certain picture will catch my eye, and upon further investigation, I discover an industry professional whose name I do not recognize. This is exactly how I was introduced to Jovanna Burke, and upon further investigation, I realized I had seen her in more than one Hallmark movie. Moreover, she was scheduled to appear […] -
Interview With Author Marie Bostwick
I have come to anticipate exceptional things from every year’s Hallmark Hall of Fame movie, especially the ones that appear at Christmastime. And this year, Christmas Everlasting was no exception to that rule. Christmas Everlasting was based on Marie Bostwick’s novel, The Second Sister, and recently, I had the opportunity to interview this best-selling author about her career, including this phenomenal experience […] -
Interview With Actor Taylor Hastings, “Christmas Joy” & “Welcome To Christmas”
In my neverending quest to highlight those who are often in the background and may be inadvertently overlooked by the casual viewer, I happened upon the delightful and talented Taylor Hastings. Hallmark audiences are very familiar with her skillset since she has appeared in a wide assortment of the network’s movies, but sometimes we forget to probe further to discover […] -
Interview With Director/Composer Tim Janis, “Buttons”
This past summer, one of my all-time favorite people in the world (Paul Greene) tweeted out the fact that he had just finished filming a wonderful Christmas film called Buttons starring Dick Van Dyke and Angela Lansbury. Of course, I was intrigued because those two are absolute legends as far as I’m concerned, and I anxiously awaited more information. Recently, that […] -
Interview With Actor Paul Greene, “When Calls the Heart” & “Buttons”
Well, this is yet another milestone. Welcome to my sixth interview with Paul Greene, a Hallmark favorite who undoubtedly needs no introduction whatsoever. And each time we chat, he raises the bar (which is totally mind-boggling), and I find that I respect him even more than I did before. Indeed, this most recent chat is no exception. While many of […] -
Interview With Actor Casey Manderson, “Mingle All the Way”
In recent times, I have developed very special relationships with supporting actors who seem to appear in Hallmark movies on a somewhat regular basis. And in the case of Casey Manderson, he is one who is easily one of the funniest and most incredible supporting actors on the network’s roster. I got to feature him earlier this year in an […]
