Darrin Baker is the kind of actor Hallmark keeps in the rotation without ever handing him the poster. Across seven films since 2018 he has never been the lead, which suits him fine: he is the steady presence in the background of someone else's small-town romance, and three of his seven are set in exactly that kind of town. He splits the calendar between Christmas and summer, with a couple of each, so he turns up whether there is fake snow or fake sunshine on the call sheet. The one real pattern in his numbers is Kathryn Davis, who shows up alongside him in four of the seven, the closest thing he has to a regular partner. His only rated title is his first, Season for Love from 2018, sitting at a respectable 6.5. If you watch enough of these, you have seen him, and you have probably trusted him.
