For a more up-to-date interview with Matt, click here. When watching Hallmark network films, it is quite common to see certain actors featured regularly, and sometimes we don’t even think about learning their names or looking up their other works, especially if they are in supporting roles. However, I have discovered that if I delve a little bit deeper, I often […]

Anyone who knows me is aware of my affinity for mysteries. In fact, my mom, my daughter and I share a mutual admiration for murder mysteries. We are definite Hallmark Movies & Mysteries fanatics, and we adore the mystery series that Hallmark provides quite regularly on that network. When they chose to add Brooke Shields and Brennan Elliott to a new mystery series […]

As many of my readers know, I fervently attempt to focus on every member of the cast when I do a movie review (and sometimes that means a lot of exploration on my part). More often than not, this diligence on my part connects me with great actors that may go undetected by the general public, and in the case of Flower Shop […]

About three years ago, a show arrived on the Hallmark Channel that changed my life forever. I had no idea at that point how it would ultimately impact my life, but there was something about Cedar Cove that I liked. At first, it wasn’t even my favorite show, but I remember noticing the sweet Peggy Beldon and loving her instantly. It […]

Roughly a year ago, I discovered, almost by accident, that a character in my then-favorite show–Cedar Cove–was going to be replaced and played by a different actor. I adored the John Bowman storyline, and I made up my mind that whomever was going to take over, I WAS NOT going to like. The only problem is that I was a reviewer of these […]

I was so impressed with the actor who brought this rogue to life that I researched him and discovered that within the past couple of years,  I had seen him in more things than I realized.  He was […]
