the hallmark channel is known for
churning out more christmas products
than even the north pole that makes it a
lucrative new home for plenty of stars
who used to be famous
for more mainstream shows than movies
keep watching to find out who they are
if you were alive in the 90s you surely
remember laurie lachlan as aunt becky on
full house
she ultimately found her forever home in
2010 on the hallmark
channel her most reliable cash cow on
the network has been the role of abigail
stanton on the western series when calls
the heart
which started airing in 2014 but the
party was interrupted in 2019
when lachlan and her husband massimo
gianouli were implicated in the
operation varsity
blues college admissions scandal they
allegedly paid scam orchestrator rick
singer five hundred thousand dollars to
get their daughters into the school of
their choice
after striking a plea deal lachlan and
gianouli both paid fines and served some
time behind bars
as for when calls to the heart it hasn't
been the same
since the beloved abigail was written
off but there may be hope yet for
lachlan
show creator brian bird told from the
desk in 2019 hope valley will always be
a place of second chances
furthermore lachlan's legal woes didn't
hurt her bottom line too much
as variety reported that she downsized
to a hidden hills california mansion
worth 9.5 million dollars in august 2020
lacey chabert and hallmark movies go
together like burnt gingerbread men and
spiked eggnog
there simply could not be a more
harmonious union
after gaining fame in the likes of
partya5 and mean girls
her hallmark journey began in 2010 when
she signed on to play liberty taylor an
elevator girl she's really made a home
for herself on the family-friendly
network
ultimately clocking in with more than 20
crown media productions
that's so fetch gretchen stop trying to
make fetch happen
it's not going to happen apparently the
holiday spirit really sent chevere into
a frenzy of hallmark induced holly
jollies
as she confessed to southern living in
2019
i genuinely love christmas and anyone
who knows me knows that i'm pretty
christmas obsessed
i'd like to draw it out as long as
possible so it makes sense that i would
enjoy making these movies
chabert's bank account must love
christmas too as she boasts an estimated
4 million
net worth tamara mori housley is living
her dream life atop a napa valley
vineyard
in a house that contains a pool terrace
an outdoor pizza oven
and a 400 bottle wine cellar the real
co-host first rose to fame alongside her
twin sister tia in the 90s sitcom
sister's sister
in 2012 she made her way to the hallmark
scene as
daphne and christmas angel and she
arrived not a moment too soon
while we love how hallmark exudes sunny
optimism
the brand is usually as white and blonde
as a skinny vanilla latte
maury housley is grateful for the
opportunity she's had to bring diversity
to hallmark
as she told oprah daley in 2020 it's
different when you're seeing someone on
the screen
and they actually look like you and
they're achieving what you want to
achieve
you feel inspired you feel like if she
can do it i can do it
the actress was even given free reign
from hallmark to get behind the 2020
film christmas comes twice as a producer
as she noted to oprah daley when you
have a dream of playing a certain role
or wanting a film to tell
a certain story it's amazing it's on a
whole other level when you were
creatively in control of that
i'm absolutely in love with this film
you could say that every time candace
cameron beret makes a hallmark movie
an angel falls in love with a small town
fellow named chad
she's basically a walking billboard for
child stars who came out on top
in the late 80s and early 90s she
starred on full house as dj tanner
everyone's favorite all-american eldest
sister and she reprised the role a
couple of decades later for the netflix
sequel series fuller house
she stashed away an estimated 14 million
dollars so she's clearly at the top
of her money-making game in between the
tanner family saga
cameron beret found her niche as a
hallmark queen with
dozens of credits to her name including
multiple christmas entries
and don't get it twisted as she doesn't
consider her hallmark success anything
but hard-earned
during an appearance on the paula ferris
podcast she got into that topic
as she said can we just talk about this
for a second i get that all the time
how hard is it to be in a hallmark movie
like can i be in a hallmark movie
and i'm like are you a professional
actor no then no
you cannot you can be a background
person they're called extras
these haters have clearly got cameron
beret shouting oh mylanta
holly robinson pete first started
turning heads in 1987
opposite johnny depp as officer judy
hoffs on 21 jump street
she then went on to shine in the likes
of hanging with mr cooper and mike and
molly
she eventually made her way over to the
hallmark channel
starring in such films as a family
christmas gift and the christmas doctor
the latter of which required some steamy
scenes with her co-star adrian holmes
making bank while making out with a hot
co-star sounds great but there's a bit
of a hitch
at least during a pandemic during an
interview with today
robinson pete talked about covid19
kissing safety procedures
explaining that she was able to maintain
her health but not the romance
as she put it you have to just drink all
these concoctions
and gargle for a certain amount of time
then each of us have our spit buckets
so that's really romantic i used to
think that kissing on tv
and movies was not romantic but they've
taken it to another
level of uncomfortable and awkward
while that may sound a bit gross you
surely won't spit at robinson pete's
estimated net worth of 4 million dollars
which she's used to indulge on traveling
around the world with her family to
places like vietnam cambodia
south africa and indonesia danica
mckellar warmed the hearts of american
families everywhere as girl next door
winnie cooper on the classic
coming-of-age dramedy the wonder years
she's continued to thrive in hollywood
since then eventually landing in the
hallmark universe
she talked about her experience with the
wholesome network during a 2018
appearance on today
as she gushed they are just so
good-natured
they tell good stories about good people
and yes they provide an escape from our
crazy world
but more than that they remind us that
we can be better and they remind us to
connect with each other
and they remind us of the importance of
family and traditions and i just
love helping to spread that in the world
if you only know mckellar from her
acting career
you might not realize that she's also
been living a double life as a math whiz
in 1998 she earned herself a bachelor of
science degree in mathematics from ucla
and she even contributed to a scientific
theorem with one of her professors and a
fellow student
mckellar has also penned eight math
books with titles like
kiss my math and math doesn't suck
altogether she's multiplied her own
paper to an estimated net worth of 6
million dollars
clearly math leads finish first jesse
metcalf has shown off his talent in a
variety of fields
and he's got the payoff to prove it as
he's worth an estimated 12 million
dollars
you might have first met him as naughty
gardener john roland on desperate
housewives
he then melted more age-appropriate
hearts in his big screen debut
2006's john tucker must die from that
point forward he went on to star in
several other movies that netflix has
probably recommended to you 500 times
before finally crossing over to hallmark
territory
in 2020s a beautiful place to die a
martha's vineyard mystery
metcalf gets pretty physical in some
fight scenes which he was able to handle
as he's aged like a fine wine into his
40s
as it turns out he's been training as a
martial artist
for years which has conveniently
contributed positively to his acting
career
i try to do as many of my own stunts as
possible you know for you
because i i feel as though you can tell
when it's a stunt double
metcalf was especially proud of a
beautiful place to die
as he also signed on as a producer which
allowed him to be really hands-on
creatively
after full house ended its eight season
run in 1995
jody sweeten didn't know what to do with
her afternoons
she unfortunately turned to some toxic
vices
including alcohol heroin ecstasy and
cocaine
as she revealed in her memoir
unsweetened she began drinking as a
young teenager which led to her going in
and out of 12-step programs and rehab
during her late teens and 20s
as she fought her drug and alcohol abuse
sweden ultimately turned things around
as she got clean
had a couple of kids and fell into the
open arms of the hallmark channel
which has helped her get back to loving
life and goofing off on set
as she told complex in 2016 i am just
now
able to enjoy the person i am false and
all i can laugh at the darkest sort of
most upsetting times in my life
there's plenty for sweden to be laughing
and smiling about nowadays
she boasts an estimated two million
dollars in the bank
and in 2018 she shared an instagram snap
of the new mercedes benz she scooped up
as she declared
i haven't had a new car in about 17
years
so this was a big deal after several
years of working my ass off it was time
who can forget rachel lee cook as
lovable art nerd lainey boggs
getting whisked off her easel by swab
jock zachary siles and the 1999 high
school flick she's all that
the plot may have been predictable but
it still had all the ingredients of a
warm and fuzzy rom-com
which has always been important to cook
she's set to return for the gender
swapped remake he's all that
but she's already found a true home at
lovey-dovey hallmark
as she told collider in 2020 the
hallmark channel have been incredible
partners to me and so supportive
and i love working in the feel good
space you know i spent many years trying
to be cool and make edgy content that i
thought would make people sort of stand
up and take notice of me
but it wasn't until i sort of followed
my heart's desire and my true intention
that i think i started really to feel
like i had greater control
or a degree of say-so over the way my
projects were gonna go
another benefit to working with hallmark
that cook appreciates
is the ability to make a movie in a
short time span as she's completed
multiple movies in just 15 days
the hustle has paid off handsomely for
her as she listed her stunning studio
city home for 4.295 million dollars in
september 2020
clark kent superman hallmark hero dean
kane can do it all
but the path he ended up taking wasn't
exactly how he planned it
after graduating from princeton
university in 1988
he briefly joined the roster of the
nfl's buffalo bills
but fate had other ideas as a knee
injury ended his athletic career
prematurely
in 2012 he told coffee talk i enjoy
acting
i never knew that i was going to be an
actor for certain i thought about it
when i was in college
i was like you know that's what i'm
gonna do after i finish playing pro
football
well i played pro football for about a
half an hour then i got injured and that
was the end
so you know you're constantly changing
so kane turned his sights to hollywood
and put his pretty face to work on a
variety of shows and movies
it all eventually led him to the land of
hallmark which has contributed to his
heroic estimated six million dollar net
worth
as he told coffee talk i'm very happy
where life has brought me thus far
we'll see where it goes from here we're
guessing more hallmark
