![]() ![]() And SQuire’s story is so awesome as well. They got the word “Godwink” added into the dictionary. You’ve got SQuire and Louise Rushnell, who are just the sweetest and most wonderful people you could ever hope to meet. I think so much love and time has gone into this movie. We’ve touched on A Godwink Christmas, but what do you think is so special about this film? You are definitely growing up, so I guess that is happening to me now with playing all these father roles. It’s like when you say, “I feel like I’m still a twenty-year-old.” But then you hang out with twenty-year-olds, and you quickly realize you’re not twenty. Then in It’s Christmas, Eve, I am the father of twins–two seven-year-olds. But in the story, my wife and I were high school sweethearts and had a child early on. In Christmas On Holly Lane, I actually have a thirteen-year-old daughter. If I remember correctly, I shot Christmas On Holly Lane right before It’s Christmas, Eve. ![]() And after that, I had a string of father roles. When I first got the audition for that role, I was like, “My character is supposed to have been in a relationship with someone who has a thirteen-year-old daughter!” I thought, “No way am I booking this!” And I ended up booking it. Well, it’s so funny because the first time I played someone who was father-age-ish was for the movie Killer Ending with Emmanuelle Vaugier. ![]() will have to wait to see it on the UP network on November 16th. And as a side note, if you are in Canada, Christmas On Holly Lane will be premiering this weekend on November 11th. But whichever version ultimately is shown, it will be very unique because it will give you a whole spectrum of emotion. But I noticed the PR package tended to lean towards it being a Christmas movie. In truth, the movie could have leaned either way–Christmas or not. So I’m very curious to see how it ends up. It was more about this woman who wants to rely on herself and the strength of her own friendships. It wasn’t about some guy swooping in to save some person. It had a lot of human fragility and vulnerability in it. What I loved about the script when I first read it was that it was just an honest story. I know I talked with Jaime Callica about this movie, and I understand that originally, it was not going to be a Christmas movie. The basic premise of the story is a couple going through a really tough time, and the friendships they rely on to get through it all. I have a sense that UP and Super Channel Heart & Home will probably be airing the happier one, but we shall see. One version of this movie deals with more of the friendships and everyone working together, and the other version is more about the hardships. For a lot of people, the holidays are an amazing time, but for others, the holidays are a very painful time because their families aren’t in the best place. In all seriousness, Christmas On Holly Lane is a different kind of movie. Another day was really hot, and so they were bringing freezies Well, of course, you are! That’s your wheelhouse! Like one day, they had an ice cream truck show up for us. That crew and production team were just great. ![]()
