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, […]

When I think of the show Cedar Cove that ran for three magnificent years on the Hallmark network, I cannot help but think of all the phenomenal people I “met” through twitter and who have now gone on to even more extraordinary endeavors. Had it not been for my sincere affection for all who were affiliated with that show, I never would have connected […]

Oftentimes there is something to be said for actresses who perhaps didn’t go the typical route to enter the profession. In those cases, you can almost always anticipate a wealthy of unique viewpoints, and Carolyn Bridget Kennedy is one such person. She has carved out a niche for herself in the world of independent film that seems to strike a chord […]

Almost by accident, I happened upon a show last year on the UP network–their first scripted series Ties That Bind. I was a little bit behind, but once I got into it, I was impressed with the depth of writing, the acting, and the family-friendly way in which real world issues were examined. It wasn’t long before I realized the creative genius […]

In the Hallmark world of actors, there is almost no one I respect more than Paul Greene. From the time I first witnessed his prowess on screen to the time I had the incredible opportunity to interview this outstanding humanitarian, I have been nothing but impressed. So when he mentioned that he was working to develop a new series, I jumped at […]

Maya Sulliway is a struggling single mom who’s studying to become an accountant. When her young daughter goes off to sleepaway camp, Maya accepts a summer internship at Kizzmit, a tech company known for developing a popular social app, in order to receive college credit. There, the thirtysomething Maya feels out of place among the company’s hip millennial interns and […]

In the blissful sea of Hallmark leading men, there is nothing like having some new faces and personalities to change things up a bit. And it just so happens that when Tulips in Spring aired earlier this year on the Hallmark Channel, that is exactly what happened. With the addition of Lucas Bryant to the pool of handsome, charming men who […]

Because of my devotion to the Hallmark network and the fact that they have continued to bring vibrant, facinating actors to my attention that otherwise would have gone under my radar, I have been introduced to yet another riveting actor–Travis Milne. Though unfamiliar with him and his work before our recent chat, he more than impressed me as he responded to […]
