As an avid supporter of Hallmark’s Cedar Cove show, I connected with practically all of the actors involved with the series. As a result, as they have moved on to other ventures, I have been blessed enough to interview almost all of them. It was such an honor to speak with Anna Van Hooft (Linnette) earlier this summer. She and I […]

Being the Hallmark Channel fan that I am, I am always interested in “discovering” as many of the actors and actresses connected with their shows and films as possible. And in this case, I noticed Brittany Willacy in last week’s Chesapeake Shores show, and I knew that I longed for the opportunity to ask her a few questions about her role […]

In this realm of interviewing all sorts of people within the film industry. the stories and people never cease to amaze me. There is never one “right” path to becoming an actor and/or filmmaker, and that is absolutely true with Alexander Cooper. Labeling him as merely an actor does not begin to describe his passion for film, and recently he answered some […]

There is almost nothing that makes my job easier as an interviewer than asking questions of an actor who is confident in his/her abilities and is able to present himself/herself as a well-rounded, talented, fascinating human being. In Lisa Temple’s case, that is exactly what she did with the questions she recently agreed to answer. She offered fresh insight into her early […]

Because my actress friend, Tara Wilson, was featured in Lifetime’s film, Center Stage: On Pointe, I had the opportunity to watch one of the hottest dance films around. I genuinely relished every aspect of the film, and I found the dancing particularly captivating. Therefore, it makes perfect sense for me to interview the choreographer herself, Monica Proenca, and she was quite honored to grant […]

There is probably no one I salute more than legitimate independent film champions. I find myself regularly seeking out those who deserve to be highlighted for their genuine dedication to telling the stories about which they are passionate while maintaining complete creative control. What some people don’t realize is that filmmakers like Rachel Amanda Bryant oftentimes are required to do more than just […]

In this day and age, a plenitude of young people crave the “fast track” to fame and fortune, and this means that they often seek jobs within the entertainment community. Without any difficulty, they expect to become an “overnight” success because they are, by their own admission, so “cool.” Thankfully, there are young actors like Sidney Grigg, who are willing to invest the time […]

Positive young people–sometimes an oxymoron and almost impossible to find, but it does not prevent me from searching arduously. And in the case of Kacey Fifield, in a sense, she found me. I happened upon her one day, and she was gracious enough to discuss how and why she became an actress, her passion for music, and most significantly, her optimistic outlook. […]

I am always amazed at the amount of connections I continue to make as I become more entrenched in the film and television industry. I’ll discover that I’m interviewing someone who has appeared with someone I just interviewed last week or was in this show or that film that a writer I had just spoken with…anyway, this is how I came […]

As I’ve stated previously, I have been “out of the loop” when it comes to network programming for some time, and as a result, many of the actors who are household names, I have only heard and/or seen in passing. Therefore, Treat Williams was someone I knew by name only until the advent of Chesapeake Shores on the Hallmark Channel. From […]
