As my loyal readers know, I follow the Canadian film industry fairly closely, and as a result, I regularly “discover” other actors of whom I was not previously aware while I am promoting and watching the works of many of my actor friends. I do not know exactly how I happened upon Sharon Taylor, but as I examined her credits, […]

Because of my interactions the past two years with some incredible independent film champions and filmmakers, I have become a massive proponent of independent films and those involved with these projects. Once in a while, I come across such a treasured person that I am stunned that it took me so long to “discover” this industry professional. Wayne E. Brown […]

When I profess that I adore young actors, I am completely in earnest. And it seems like the ones that the Hallmark network hires are always the crème de la crème. Whether they appear in background scenes, have a line or two, or are essentially the junior leads, I am consistently impressed with their competence as well as their humility. […]

During the inaugural season of Chesapeake Shores, I had the supreme honor of interviewing the actress whose character (Leigh) caused a plethora of impassioned discussion amongst the Chessies on social media–Brittany Willacy. Interestingly enough, the tide has shifted in season two, and I believe Chessies are divided on what they currently think of her character. Regardless, I am grateful that Brittany was […]

Being the Hallmark fan and “Chessie” that I am, I consistently pay careful attention to one of my favorite shows, Chesapeake Shores, and the moment that Simon Atwater was added this season, I found myself somewhat swooning. How on earth could a girl not be charmed by a romance author with an impeccably enticing (and smoothly sexy) British accent? I was […]

During Garage Sale Mystery Month this August, the first of the four films (The Beach Murder) featured an actress by the name of Chiara Zanni. Although I had seen her name before, until I did the research, I was unaware of the assortment of talents she possesses in both voice work and on-camera work. In fact, between the months of July through […]

I can’t recall the first time I noticed Mark Brandon in a Hallmark network film, but I know for certain that he was on my radar for quite awhile as over the past couple years, Hallmark has utilized his talents fairly regularly. Recently, a fan suggested that I should interview him, and once he agreed, we scheduled one as soon […]

As I have stated in the past and continue to maintain, Hallmark does an incredible job of featuring the supporting cast in their various films, and their loyalty transcends that of many other more prominent networks. In the case of Peter Benson, I was familiar with his works long before I was aware of who he was, and Hallmark has […]

Thanks to my association with the Artemis Film Festival, I am consistently encountering dynamic stunt people (and the vast majority that I know are women). In the case of Dayna Grant, I happened upon her as a result of the Artemis, and recently she agreed to answer a few questions about her career, including how she got started, her current […]

There is something about the unadulterated exhilaration of youth, and when this type of young person enters the world of entertainment, I would venture to say the sky is not even the limit. Ashley Seal came on my radar due to my passion for independent films, and I am so grateful that she agreed to answer a few questions recently. […]
