During the month of January, the Hallmark Channel (along with the W Network up in Canada) air movies (both premieres and repeat showings) that are a part of the Winterfest celebration. It’s the perfect way to bridge the gap between Christmas and Valentine’s Day. This year, Hallmark mounted a sequel to the very popular 2018 film, One Winter Weekend, starring […]

One of Hallmark’s record thirty-eight Christmas movies in 2018–Pride, Prejudice, and Mistletoe–introduced me to an actor whom I had seen previously but didn’t realize it at the time. Steve Belford made his Christmas movie debut as Parker Fitzwilliam in this popular Christmas film that starred Lacey Chabert and Brendan Penny. Recently, it worked out to do a quick interview with […]

In my stalwart dedication to recognizing the supporting cast of Hallmark movies, I was pleasantly surprised to have happened upon Marco Soriano. Recently, Hallmark fans had the opportunity to see him in The Chronicle Mysteries: The Wrong Man (That series premieres in Canada on this month on Bravo.). I reached out to him for an interview, and when I noticed he was […]

Thanks to the Hallmark Network, I am honored to have met and interacted with both Peter DeLuise and Ann Marie DeLuise, and it is their dedication and promotion of the actor who will be featured in the new Hallmark movie A Brush With Love that alerted me to the amazing Matthew James Dowden. Although I had seen him previously, without […]

Because of my commitment to such a variety of movie and television professionals in the industry, sometimes I happen upon an actor almost as if by chance. In the case of Brett Rice, I noticed a random tweet in passing from his manager (the same manager who represents the amazing Brennan Elliott, as a matter of fact) about a year […]

For anyone who follows the popular Hallmark/Super Channel Heart & Home Show When Calls the Heart, you may recognize the actress who has played Emily since season one, Gracyn Shinyei. This is now the third time I have had the opportunity to interview her, and even though our favorite show is currently on hiatus, I am delighted to share an […]

I cannot begin to tell you just how thrilled I am to see Nikki DeLoach back on our screens tonight (3/23) in Love To the Rescue (premiering on the W Network on March 30th in Canada). The fact that she is partnering with Michael Rady and being directed by Steven R. Monroe (again after a successful Christmas movie) absolutely electrifies […]

I admit that I am way behind in terms of some fandoms that exist out there in the entertainment universe, and while I am still discovering the world of Stargate, I realize there is a viable fan community in existence that is extremely passionate about the show and its cast. Paul McGillion is probably most recognized for his work on […]

Some time ago, when I first watched Site Unseen: An Emma Fielding Mystery, I noticed a young lady who captured my eye in spite of the fact that her role was not a lead or even supporting lead role. Sunita Prasad, who plays Jessica, one of Emma’s students that unwittingly aids in the investigation, is an actress who has been […]

In my neverending quest to recognize those who are consistently laboring in the film and entertainment industry to succeed in a business where so many tend to give up or fail, I was incredibly pleased to discover that a filmmaker I had interviewed a couple of years ago recently made her first Lifetime movie! I was so excited for her […]
