12 Days: Martin Cummins in The Christmas Shepherd


'Sally Brown, the widow of a veteran, is a published children's book author. After her husband dies she is left with just "Buddy", his German Shepherd. After a severe storm, Buddy runs off afraid setting in motion a series of events that are sure to unite more than just Buddy and Sally.'


Although Riverdale has a stable of hot hunks, many viewers, especially those over 20, have always been hot for Sherriff Keller. The show has wisely, although sporadically, been showcasing the sheriff's sexy side the last couple of seasons. When I saw that actor Martin Cummins was in a Christmas movie, I had to check it out.  


2014's The Christmas Shepherd features Cummins as widowed dad who brings home Buddy the German Shepherd after finding him in a shelter.  Cummins was as hot as ever as daddy Mark Green and Teri Polo wasn't the only one noticing his charms, and his tight back side.  I liked this movie, but struggled with Polo as the lead.  I'm not sure if it was the actress or the role, but Sally wasn't really an especially likable character.  I know Sally's a widow, and lonely, but I failed to see what exactly would draw Mark towards here, other than of course the dog...

Canadian actor Cummins has been working steadily on television and in films since the late 80's.  I think he's appeared in almost every show filmed in his home country.  Some of his roles include turns on: My Secret Identity, 21 Jump Street, Highlander, Dark Angel, Smallville, KyleXY, The 4400 and Bates Motel.  In between his time as Tom Keller, Cummins also co-stars with Hillary Swank and Josh Charles in the new Netflix series Away.
