In keeping with my commitment to recognize all talent in films with especial attention to actors who have worked with Hallmark, it was an blissfully unexpected matter to happen upon the skill of one John Emmet Tracy. Even more surprising was the fact that I had probably first seen him in Cedar Cove, followed closely by Sugarbabies alongside my friend Giles Panton. Recently, John agreed to answer […]

Every now and again, there is an actor who once you see him/her on TV or in a film, his/her on-screen presence tends to linger even though you may only witness his/her prowess sporadically due to your frenetic schedule. Or perhaps this actor is such an immaculate performer that when you see his/her again, you don’t even realize it, for he/she so completely immerses himself/herself within the role at hand. […]

It seems that on a somewhat regular basis, I find a series that I somehow missed out on, and this is when I am so grateful for Netflix. This past summer, after interviewing a crew member of the popular show Once Upon a Time, I finally gave in and gave the show a try. And instantly, I was hooked. As a result, […]

As one who squandered way too much of her life as a woman who rarely spoke her mind and tried to fit into every mold I was given, in recent years, I have grown to highly respect those women who are strong and assert themselves with no apologies to anyone. And it just so happens that Samantha Ferris is one of those […]

When it comes to certain actors and actresses, if they are featured in a movie or show, I almost don’t care about the title, the network, nor anything else as long as they are appearing in it. And that is exactly how I was introduced to the talented and vivacious Rebecca Staab. Ali Sweeney was tweeting about a new film in which […]

Last fall, I was immensely intrigued and entertained by the original “Fall Harvest” film, October Kiss, that premiered on the Hallmark network. I will admit that I knew very little about the lead actress, Ashley Williams, but I never forgot her. Imagine my surprise when I found myself reading a poignant blog post a short while ago that was written by that very […]

I encounter countless engaging and fascinating people in the entertainment industry, and the question is often asked–“how did you find me?” Oh, I wish I knew that answer each and every time, but in this case, I think I remember noticing Inga Cadranel in connection with the show Dark Matter. When I asked her for an interview, guess what essential detail I […]

Once in awhile, there is a name that just embeds itself in my brain and I cannot seem to obliterate it. Interestingly enough, it just so happens that Preston Vanderslice is one of those names. Thankfully, he is more than just a memorable name as he is a noteworthy actor as well. I first noticed him in Love By Chance, and it seems […]

This past summer, I contacted the author of The Convenient Groom, Denise Hunter, because I wanted to make sure that I had the opportunity to ask her some questions about her upcoming book-turned-film. Unfortunately, life got in the way, and I forgot to follow up after our initial contact. Thankfully, one of her books is also featured in Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas (A […]

Over the past couple years as I have reached out to a vast range of diverse actors and actively supported their careers, there have been noteworthy moments that are forever cemented within my heart and mind. The first time an actor responded to me. The first time an actor commented on one of my reviews. Even the first time an actor left […]
