Last summer, I had the remarkable opportunity of interviewing a young lady “before she became famous.” Her name is Zenia Mashall, and I was totally impressed with her performance, demeanor and talent in Summer of Dreams which appeared on the Hallmark Channel last summer. I was incredibly excited when I discovered she would be featured in the upcoming UP TV original […]

In the past several months, it seems like every time I investigated some of the shows to which I typically pay attention, a certain, somewhat unusual name kept popping up–Raresh DiMofte. I became increasingly interested in who this actor/filmmaker was, so I finally contacted him for an interview to which he agreed almost immediately. I am grateful to share our […]

Yet again, my dedicated attention to the supporting cast (especially of Hallmark films) led me to another talented actor named Daniel Bacon. However, his body of work is so extensive, I would venture to say that everyone reading this has probably seen him in something without even realizing it. From Steven Spielberg’s BFG to Hallmark’s Aurora Teagarden to the current ABC hit Somewhere Between, […]

As a champion of indie films as well as a massive supporter of Vancouver talent, I remember noticing a campaign pop up on my feed for Last Stand to Nowhere. I thought about supporting it, but I was so busy that I quickly forgot. That is until Michelle Muldoon contacted me personally. Once I read about the campaign and realized that […]

As is customary with me, I always pay attention to the supporting cast of any film or TV show–especially when watching Hallmark films–and as usual, I was delighted to the core by the conglomerate of amazing actors (and friends) I found in that cast. But there was one character that seized my attention in a most auspicious way, and I […]

It seems like everywhere you turn today, young people are attempting to break into the entertainment industry. Some have talent, and some don’t, but a vast majority do not understand the amount of work nor the length of time required to establish yourself as an actor of any merit. A couple of months ago, I had a very pleasant chat […]

Shortly after he appeared in the film Milton’s Secret, I had the opportunity to interview William Ainscough. At first, I didn’t even make the connection that William was Nicole Oliver‘s son, but following that conversation, I kept my eyes peeled for this brilliant young man. And just a couple months ago, I had the opportunity not only to interview him again, […]

I always have an affinity for writers, and if it happens to be a writer that is collaborating in some way with Hallmark, then I am extremely excited and honored to feature him or her. In this case, screenwriter Marcy Holland, who has several successful projects to her name, has had the privilege of working with Hallmark for the first […]

Did you have the opportunity to watch the amazing film earlier this year that premiered on Hallmark Movies & Mysteries entitle An Uncommon Grace? I will be honest–from the moment my mother and I saw the preview, we were hooked, and I mean LITERALLY HOOKED! We adore mysteries, and we love Amish tales, but putting both together?? Wow! Sometime after the […]

Being a dedicated Hallmark fan and rather devout Heartie, of course, I notice every single actor who makes an appearance in the popular When Calls the Heart show. And if by some chance I do not identify the actors, there is a conglomerate of fans who will indicate those actors I may have missed. In the case of Tom Belding, I […]
