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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

When watching every single new Hallmark movie, I always keep an eye out for new actors that I may not recognize, and Amanda Lisman happened to be one of those. A Veteran’s Christmas was my introduction to this talented actress, and I am elated to be able to share my interview with her where we completed a quick overview of her career […]

Earlier this year, I was introduced to one of the most gracious, gorgeous and talented up and coming actresses I have encountered on the Hallmark Channel–Sandy Sidhu. She made a tremendous splash with Frozen In Love, her first real supporting lead in a Hallmark movie. And from her success with that film, she has gone on to even more roles on […]

Being the devoted Hallmark supporter that I am, I have been honored to introduce a multitude of first-time Hallmark actors to the fans this year, and Christian Vincent is no exception. In this case, he is a brand new actor to me as well, and discovering that he is a multi-talented, multi-faceted performer was a real treat for me. Recently, […]

Very often, Hallmark and other network require more than one person on the team of writers that bring their completed films to the viewers, and Hallmark’s Christmas Wonderland, which premieres in the U.S. tonight (12/1), is no exception. Two of the writers are Michael Ciminera and Richard Gnolfo, and even though this is their first original premiere with the network, Hallmark […]

With all the fantastic content Hallmark and other networks are formulating for Christmas this year, I love the fact that I can highlight some of the phenomenal writers who work behind-the-scenes to bring us our favorite stories. Jay Cipriani is one such person, and I am honored to be able to share my recent chat with this writer whose new […]

I remember the first time I noticed Larissa Albuquerque in When Calls the Heart, and shortly thereafter, I interviewed her and featured her for the first time. Fast forward nearly three years later, and her career is continuing its upward spiral, and again, I am interviewing her (for the third time) in anticipation of her first standalone Hallmark Christmas movie tonight […]
