12 Days: Jim Watson in Rodeo Christmas Romance

'When a rodeo bronc rider finds herself ranch-sitting for a friend while caring for her injured horse over Christmas, she clashes with a brooding veteran only to find that the magic of the season may be what they need to  heal their hearts.'

Usually I watch more than a few holiday films during the month of December.  From Hallmark flicks, to favorite features including;  Elf, The Holiday and Love Actually, and classics including The Bishops Wife, Miracle on 34th St. and others.  This year for some reason, I wasn't in the mood.  Might be the current political shit show, or maybe just my mood, not sure.  I do think however, that this year, I wasn't alone in my lack of holiday spirit.

I did record some holiday films that I haven't yet watched, and deleted one of the DVR last night by watching Rodeo Christmas Romance.  I set the recording after seeing it starred Canadian hottie Corey Sevier.  I love me some Sevier and have featured his holiday appearances many times previously on the site. (HERE:)  No matter how wholesome the holiday film is, given his incredible body, the director always seems to find a reason to get Sevier our of his shirt. Rodeo Christmas Romance didn't disappoint with a prerequisite Sevier shirtless scene early in the movie.

Before meeting Sevier's Noal Holliday, we're first introduced to his brother Billy played by Canadian actor Jim Watson. At first I thought Billy was going to be the romantic lead, as he was playing a rancher, and has quite a bit of chemistry with Emma, (Rebecca Dalton) the lead female character.  Then, they quickly rushed Billy off-screen for a bit to build on the relationship between Emma and Noal.

Of course Bill later returns to cause a little friction, but alas, he didn't get the girl.  Although this was a Lifetime film, not a Hallmark flick, I hope the next time Watson is cast in a holiday film he gets to play the leading man.   

If you're able to watch much Canadian television, you might know Watson from his regular role on the medical drama Transplant, as well as roles on other Canadian based shows including: Wynonna Earp, Hudson & Rex, The Umbrella Academy, Good Witch and Mary Kills People. Most recently Watson was seen in the limited horror series Hell Hotel.

Between

Watson has been a part of many Canadian based horror and Sci-fi movies and television series including the series Between. Available on Netflix, Between takes place in a small town after a mysterious disease kills every resident over 22 years old.  Survivors of the town must fend for themselves when the government quarantines them.

Slasher

An anthology series featuring rampaging serial killers leaving carnage in their wake as their next victims fight to stay alive.

Watson also co-starred in 13 issues of Slasher, and contains what I believe is his only nude scene.  The video I included is a shirtless scene.  I did not include a video of the nude scene as you can guess from the caps, includes Watson's character being sexually assaulted.
