I could not establish why the name Bradley Stryker sounded familiar when I first reached out to him for an interview concerning Chesapeake Shores, but once I realized that he shot a film last year with one of my dear friends, I instantly recalled the reason. Regardless, watching him in Chesapeake Shores as John Rawl has been a joy, and having the […]

When I am asked how I “discover” certain actors and industry professionals, the best response I can give is that it sometimes happens almost by “accident.” Of course, as a woman of faith, I don’t put credence in that philosophy; God has ordained every step I take, and I will firmly stand on that conviction until the day I die. […]

I am unquestionably ecstatic when an agency contacts me to interview one of their enterprising actors, and when those professionals are connected to correspondingly amazing Hallmark projects, that is like virtual icing on the proverbial cake. In the case of Sarah Edmondson, Hallmark audiences are certain to recognize her from a variety of projects, Hallmark and otherwise, and I couldn’t […]

While it might seem a bit unusual, on occasion, I savor the joy of discovery through “Twitter scavenger hunts” in which I explore new projects and actors. In the case of Brianne Davis, although officially I had been following her work for some time, I had not investigated her works in detail. When I discovered that her star was on […]

Because of my association with Holly Carinci of Hollywords Publicity Group, I am often alerted to unique, gifted professionals within the entertainment universe that I may otherwise overlook. And in the case of Cory Grüter-Andrew, I have Holly to thank for introducing me to such an enchanting, energetic young actor. Recently, Cory and I were able to chat about two […]

Positive young people and Hallmark are always a winning combination. I sometimes wonder how Hallmark continues to uncover and feature these hidden gems with amazing talent who have remained unspoiled by the brutality and cynicism that habitually permeate this business. In the case of Hallmark, this trend continued last season during the popular show Good Witch when Alanna Bale was added […]

I will never tire of saying how thrilled I am to discover new, effervescent actors in the business, and when they are crafting the caliber of projects in which Therés Ames is involved, I truly couldn’t be happier to interview one with such positive and vibrant energy as she. Furthermore, her beauty and poise whenever asked about her career and […]

Oftentimes, I discover new artists when I interview actors with whom I am already familiar. In fact, I could say with a decided degree of certainty that the vast majority of the time, it is the recommendation of my actor friends that directs me to previously undiscovered talents (well, at least “undiscovered” on my part). And in the case of […]

About a year ago, I reached out to an enterprising industry professional named Bobby Del Rio, and I was quite impressed with all the exciting things happening for him at that time. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I am only now able to publish this fascinating interview with an independent filmmaker and actor whose success continues to rise with […]

During the last season of Chesapeake Shores (which was also its inaugural season), I connected with a couple of crew members behind-the-scenes, and Kirsten Hansen was one of them. It is tremendously gratifying for me to witness her expanded involvement with the show this season, and in spite of her frenetic schedule, she took a few moments to answer some […]
