At the Hollywood Reporter, Kristoffer Polaha writes about why he loves doing Hallmark movies. “Hearts of Christmas, then Rocky Mountain Christmas. Pearl in Paradise filmed in Fiji. Yes, Hallmark sent me to Fiji. Finally, A Small Town Christmas is a movie in which Hallmark Channel CEO Bill Abbott, exec vp programming Michelle Vicary and head of development Randy Pope allowed me to play my character with a touch of Jimmy Stewart from It’s a Wonderful Life. George Bailey as a romantic lead, I don’t know where else I could pull that off. Hallmark operates on loyalty and they created a new business model in our industry. Mildly put, I love acting for Hallmark.” (Thanks, Emily!)
