    MatchMaker Mysteries: The Art of the Kill2021

    Andrew Dunbar is the kind of name you spot in the supporting cast and trust to keep a scene moving, never top-billed across his ten Hallmark titles but reliably part of the furniture. He works the small-town beat, four of his films set in those familiar little places, and he spreads his appearances across the calendar rather than camping out at Christmas, where he turns up just once. He plays it straight, no winking at the camera, which suits the grounded register Hallmark likes. His best showing is Taking a Shot at Love from 2021 at 7.1, with the Garage Sale Mystery films close behind. He has no fixed co-star either, rotating through familiar faces a couple of pictures at a time. If you watch enough of these, you have absolutely seen him, probably more than once.
