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 […]

I don’t intend to ever sound like a broken record, but I still declare one of my favorite things about the Hallmark Network is that it regularly features actors who are virtually unknown, and once established within the network, the loyalty of Hallmark to these working actors is astronomical. In the case of Ben Corns, he has been the recipient […]

During season three of the Hallmark Channel popular show, When Calls the Heart, I had the opportunity of interviewing several actors who had minor roles in the cast, and it just so happens that Larissa Albuquerque was one of them. As often happens, her role was expanded during season four, and it is possible that Katie Yost may have an even […]

SYNOPSIS Housed in an 18th-century estate, school life at Headfort embraces tradition and modernity. For John, rock music is just another subject alongside Math, Scripture and Latin, taught in a collaborative and often hilarious fashion. For his wife Amanda, the key to connecting with children is the book, and she uses all means to snare the young minds. For nearly half a century these […]

Can you believe it? Garage Sale Mystery month has come to an end! I don’t know about you, but I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing a new movie every Sunday night on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Channel. When Kevin O’Grady first hinted at it back in January, I had no idea how much I would enjoy each and every movie. It […]

  Garage sale shopper extraordinaire and amateur sleuth Jennifer Shannon (Lori Loughlin) purchases an old tape recorder which holds a recording she suspects might be of an actual murder. POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT: While I can practically promise not to reveal too much in this review, it is a murder mystery, and there may be the slightest chance that you discover […]

Last summer, I had the magnificent privilege of chatting with Barbara Niven prior to the premiere of the Hallmark original series, Chesapeake Shores.  Our friendship began a few years ago during the airing of Cedar Cove, and with each passing year, I find myself more in awe and appreciative of this benevolent soul. There is something uniquely vibrant and genuine about Barbara that […]
