“The best things happen unexpectedly!”
Tonight we were out for dinner at our favorite sushi restaurant in the little town where we live. While we were at our table I saw a very nice looking guy walk in the restaurant. I immediately recognized him but didn’t say anything to my family. Later in the evening he walked by our table and I told my family that he was a Hallmark Movie channel actor. My daughter totally agreed with me. When he walked back by we knew it was
I jokingly told my family I’m going to get a picture with him. 😉 Well, our daughter went right over to his table where he was having dinner with his wife and told him her mom was a fan and would love a picture. He was so nice and told her to come on over when we were finished with dinner. Well, much to our surprise he walked over to our table and said “Hi mom!” He was so sweet and kind to take time out from his dinner to come over and say hello.
If you aren’t a Hallmark fan you probably recognize Wes from his recurring role on the HBO vampire series True Blood, playing former football player and vampire hater, Luke. He also has appeared in numerous TV shows including Criminal Minds, Beach Girls, NCIS: New Orleans, Hart of Dixie, CSI: Miami, Desperate Housewives, Private Practice, Once Upon a Time (he played Gaston!), and even the reboot of Twin Peaks. Recently he even appeared opposite Harrison Ford in the film The Call of the Wild.
But most really love Wes for his many Hallmark original movies. This year he starred in Haul Out The Holly. You also might remember him starring opposite Kellie Pickler in Christmas at Graceland and Wedding at Graceland. He also played Clark Davis in the prequels to Love Comes Softly -- Love Begins, Love's Everlasting Courage, and Love's Christmas Journey. A few more favorites are Under the Autumn Moon, Check Inn To Christmas and Christmas Cookies.
Besides being one of Hallmarks best leading men, Wes is also an exceptional musician.
