12 Days: Ser'Darius Blain in Christmas On Call

'In the lead-up to Christmas, emergency room doctor Hannah Michaels juggles her demanding job and a budding romance with EMT Wes Sullivan in Philadelphia.'

Since turning off cable news after the election, Hallmark Christmas movies have been my go source of mindless entertainment.  I oddly rarely ever watch one during the evening, but working part-time at home means for me, having the television on low as background.  Usually I only half pay attention, and many of the film are forgettable, but once in awhile, you're surprised with a good one.


I didn't have high expectations when I turned on Christmas On Call the other day.  I didn't know any of the cast members, and the description on the guide didn't really scream unique.  Christmas On Call however, was really good.  Usually in Hallmark movies, the secondary stories and characters are mostly just 'filler.'  In Christmas On Call, the writer and director did a great job of making them meaningful, helped greatly by the perfect casting.


As for the main story, the love story between ER doctor Hannah, (Sara Canning) and EMT Wes, (Ser'Darius Blain) I was hooked from the first scene.  As I said, I'd never heard of any of the cast, so don't think I'd ever seen Blain in any of previous roles.  He's been acting professionally for over 15 years though, so I may have, but nothing that I could remember.

As Wes however, he was more than memorable.  Blain was incredibly sweet and sexy as Wes, and I can't imagine anyone not instantly falling for his charm, caring and beautiful smile.  With this role and film as my introduction, I'll definitely be keeping a close eye for his future projects.
