When it comes to those in the Hallmark family, a few names come to mind immediately, like Tyler Hynes, Jonathan Bennett, Nikki DeLoach, Ashley Williams, and Lacey Chabert. However, before starring in Hallmark shows, many of the actors we love co-starred in popular films and series. Williams’ role as Victoria in “How I Met Your Mother” is consistently listed as a fan favorite. Both Bennett and Chabert starred in the cult classic “Mean Girls.” So when it comes to which Hollywood actors should join the Hallmark family, they have a few ideas.
Holly Robinson Peete would love to get Blair Underwood in a Hallmark film, and Victor Webster has Alyssa Milano and Stana Katic in his sights. Others, like Hynes and Williams, think that if you’re going to dream, dream as big as you can.
Tyler Hynes Wants Nicolas Cage — ‘Nic Will Do Some Wild Stuff’
“Meg Ryan’s the queen of… I just watched ‘City of Angels’ the other night,” Hynes confessed to Us Magazine. “It’s one of my favorite movies of all time. Nicolas Cage, let’s get him in here. Nic will do some wild stuff.”
Both Cage and Ryan rose to fame in rom-coms. “One “When Harry Met Sally” is often the first movie people think of when Ryan’s name comes up. As for Cage, one of his first roles was as Randy in “Valley Girl,” and films like “Moonstruck” and “It Could Happen to You” solidified his status as a romantic lead. While he seems to prefer more eccentric roles at present, Hallmark could probably create an interesting character for him to sink his teeth into.
Heather Hemmens Is Manifesting J.Lo as Her Hallmark Auntie
“I want J. Lo to come in, she’s the queen of rom-coms,” Heather Hemmens said. “Yeah, bring J. Lo to Hallmark. She can play my auntie.”
While Jennifer Lopez has branched out with dramas like “Selena,” “Hustlers,” and “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” a Hallmark film seems like the most logical next step for the actress and singer.
Elisabeth Moss Already Pitched Hallmark Her Own Christmas Movie Idea
“I remember back in the day Elisabeth Moss wanted to be part of the Hallmark family,” Andrew Walker recalled.
“She’d be amazing!” DeLoach said, which Walker quickly agreed.
Moss, who’s best known for her intense, dramatic role in “The Handmaid’s Tale,” has not only admitted to having the Hallmark app on her phone, but also pitched a Hallmark Christmas movie in 2019.
“I’d be like a shop owner, and there’d be like a Christmas tree farm salesman,” Moss fantasized at the Vulture Festival. “It’d be like, I hate him at first, and it’d be great.”
Ashley Williams Isn’t Playing It Safe — She Wants Both Hemsworth Brothers
“Why can’t we have Liam Hemsworth in a Hallmark movie?” Williams asked. “He’s also got those cute brothers. I feel like it’s time we aim high. Chris Hemsworth, Liam Hemsworth, let’s get them in.”
“Is it too much to ask that I want to kiss Liam Hemsworth?” Williams added. “I don’t think I’m aiming too high.”
While “rom-com” may not be the first thought when the Hemsworth brothers are mentioned, it’s definitely something we would swoon over. Liam, for his part, starred in “The Last Song” with Miley Cyrus in 2010, which also kicked off their romance. Chris, on the other hand, is more of a thriller/action type of actor. It’d definitely be fun to see him break out of the mold and surprise everyone.
Could Jeremy Allen White Be Next? Kimberley Sustad and Erin Cahill Think So
“Like Jeremy [Alan] White,” Kimberley Sustad said. Erin Cahill sighed at the suggestion. “Come on!”
“Jeremy, can you hear me?” Sustad added, addressing him directly.
One of the hottest and most in-demand stars at the moment, White may be difficult to nail down. However, with “The Bear” officially being done and “The Painted Bride” listed as his sole film in pre-production, who knows? Maybe there’s a chance.
