By 2015, he was making his Hallmark debut (alongside none other than Meghan Markle) and has become a staple on the network ever since — but don't miss his parts in major blockbusters either! The actor has also had roles in movies like Jurassic World: Dominion (2022) and Wonder Woman 1984 (2020).

" As an actor, I am leaning into Hallmark because it’s fun to sit with my seven-year-old and show him what I do for a living," he wrote in the guest column of The Hollywood Reporter in 2018.

"These are family-friendly movies. I’m leaning in because my 91-year-old Nana finally thinks I’ve made it in Hollywood because I’m on Hallmark. People her age remember the stores and the tangible products of a major household name brand. I’m leaning into them because they are leaning into me and showing me the love."
