Actor Patrick Muldoon, who passed away on Sunday at the age of 57, was known for numerous roles in his career, including a very popular Hallmark Christmas movie from 2004 titled “A Boyfriend for Christmas.”
And following news of his death, many fans remembered him, recalling this specific role when paying tribute to the actor.
“He was also in one of my must-see Hallmark movies every Christmas – “A Boyfriend for Christmas” RIP Patrick,” one fan posted.
“My Mom watches a very cute Hallmark movie he did for Christmas every year (anytime of the year for her really) and it was such a sweet film. May his memory be a blessing,” another fan commented.
Along with his work on Hallmark, Muldoon was best known for playing Austin Reed on the iconic soap opera “Days of Our Lives” as well as Richard Hart in “Melrose Place.” He also made an appearance in “Saved by the Bell,” while also starring in films including the 1997 hit “Starship Troopers.”
All About ‘A Boyfriend For Chirstmas’
The Hallmark movie, “A Boyfriend for Christmas,” was released in 2004, with Muldoon starring alongside Kelli Williams.
The movie begins with Holly, played by Williams, telling Santa Claus at the shopping mall that she wanted a boyfriend when she was 13 years old. It then fast-forwards 20 years, with Holly working as a social worker. Specifically, she is working a particular case where she’s trying to help a mother get her children back from foster care, but the woman’s lawyer, Ryan Hughes, does not show up for court. She sends him a very angry letter.
Then, on Christmas Day, Holly opens her door to find a man carrying a Christmas tree and uses him to keep her family off her back, pretending that he is her long-term boyfriend.
But something about this man, who introduced himself as Douglas Firwood, seems oddly familiar.
