12 Days: Brendan Penny in Easter Under Wraps


'Erika goes undercover at her family's chocolate plant to see why sales are down when she meets head chocolatier, Bryan, who has new ideas on how to update the Easter product line.'


FH readers are well aware of my love of holidays. I love holiday themed imagery, holiday decorations and holiday movies. I theme a series of posts around Halloween focused on the hunks of horror, and a series throughout December spotlighting actors in Christmas themed movies. I thought I was done with 12 Days, well at least for another eight or nine months... That was until I saw an ad for Hallmark's Easter Under Wraps.


Who could resist and Easter movie set in a chocolate plant, especially when the head chocolatier is played by the talented and adorable actor Brendan Penny. Many of you might recognize Penny from his previous Hallmark movies, including other holiday themed films with titles like, Magical Christmas Ornaments, Valentine in the Vineyard and Pride, Prejudice and Mistletoe.


Like many hunks of Hallmark, Penny is Canadian, born and raised in the nations capital Ottawa. After earning his BS in Accounting, Penny decided he needed a more creative outlet for his talent and energy. This lead to a move to Vancouver attend the Lyric School of Acting, in Vancouver. Like many young Canadian actors, Penny did the circuit, guesting on many shows based in Vancouver including Kyle XY, Smallville and Jake 2.0.


Although Brendan maybe beat known for his regular roles on Motive, Whistler and Stargate: Atlantis, I first noticed Brendan for his brief turn as Coleman on season 2 and 3 of The L Word. I think his turn on The L Word produced the actors only nude scenes to date.
