    The Julius House: An Aurora Teagarden Mystery6.9

    Julian Christopher is the kind of actor who shows up to fill out the world rather than carry it. Across six films between 2010 and 2016 he never took a lead, and that is fine, because his real home turf turns out to be the cozy-mystery corner of Hallmark. His best showing is The Julius House: An Aurora Teagarden Mystery from 2016, which at 6.9 sits a notch above his 6.2 average, with Real Murders from 2015 right on its heels. He keeps things grounded, no high-concept strangeness, just steady supporting work. He shares three films with Peter Benson, though that is more a frequent face on set than a fixed pairing. If you are working through the Aurora Teagarden run, he is a familiar presence in the background of those small-town whodunits.
