    Damon Runyan is the kind of Hallmark fixture you recognize before you can place him, a reliable supporting presence rather than the name above the title. Across seven films between 2011 and 2018 he never top-billed, but he showed up where the network needed him, often in a big city rather than the usual small town. Four of those seven are Christmas titles, so December is where you are most likely to catch him. His best-reviewed outing is Valentine Ever After from 2016 at 6.7, with One Starry Christmas and Sound of Christmas close behind at 6.5. He has no steady on-screen partner, just a rotating cast he slots into. If you like spotting the dependable second lead who quietly holds a scene together, he has been doing exactly that for years.
