12 Days: Anthony Konechny in Home For Christmas Day


'When a young woman falls in love and develops a long-distance relationship with a soldier in active duty, her protective mother tries her best to steer her daughter away from heartache. Little do they know they are about to learn important lessons of the heart and that taking chances can make this Christmas one they will cherish forever.'


I've only seen one Christmas movie this year so far, but when I was thinking of my next subject for 12 Days, I remembered a scene from a movie I saw last year.  Actor Anthony Konechny wasn't the lead in 2017's Home For Christmas Day, that was actor Victor Webster.  I've featured Victor before, (HERE:) and although he wasn't the start, it was Anthony I really noticed when I watched. 


Most Hallmark Christmas movies take place in small towns, and when Konechny's Tyler walks into a small town diner, it was only the diner's waitress who took notice.  Born in Vancouver, Konechny started acting at the age of 15, in school theatre and short films.  His full commitment to his craft happened after graduating high school when he began studying theatre and film full time.

Konechny got his professional start appearing in Canadian based productions including Smallville, Supernatural and The Tomorrow People.  He also had a recurring role on Witches of East End.  Konechny went on to appear on television in shows including Almost Human and in movies including Godzilla and X-Men: Apocalypse and playing Paul in Fifty Shades of Grey.
