12 Days: Brendan Morgan in Shari's Second Act

Shari just moved back to D.C. after a breakup and hopes to start painting again. Inspiration hits when she meets Evan, a repairman who winds up actually being a gallery owner.

With the success of their movies, Hallmark has been inching into movie series over the last few years.  Usually it's two or three separate movies, that linked together by a common theme or character.  One of the most recent is the Hearts around the Table series.  The thread in this series, stems from a rather unique and creative idea.  A foster mother, played by Mindy Cohn, (The Facts of Life) has weekly dinners for many of the foster children she raised over the years.  


Each week, the movie puts the love life of one of the characters in focus.  Although most of the cast is all of the films, in this case, for the family dinners, each movie stands on it's own with hit's own story.  This week's story was centered on Shari, played by Emmy winner Mishael Morgan.  I was half-watching the other day when the most beautiful man entered the scene.


Evan, played by actor Brendan Morgan is introduce as a construction worker, handy man who is working to renovate Shari's new home.  Spoiler, he turns out to be an artist, not to mention the owner of the building she's moving into, and if you haven't guessed already, love quickly hits the canvas. 


I don't think I've seen the Canadian based Morgan in anything before, as if I had, I'm sure I would have remembered.  If you haven't guessed already, Morgan began as a model, but has also been acting the last four or five years.  In addition to appearing in several Hallmark films, he's also appeared in several Canadian filmed projects including The Handmaid's Tail.  I'll certainly be keeping my eye out for future projects!
