    Kevin McGarry is the guy Hallmark keeps casting next to its biggest names without ever quite handing him the marquee. Across 15 films since 2015 he has yet to top-bill one, which tells you he is the dependable warm presence rather than the name the poster sells on. He sticks close to the network's comfort zone too: six of the films are Christmas titles, and most drop him into a small town in winter, played straight with no winking at how snowy and tidy it all looks. His two best sit level at 7.6, the 2015 Signed, Sealed, Delivered: From Paris with Love and 2019's Home for Christmas, with The Wedding Veil close behind at 7.3. He has shared a few films with Autumn Reeser, Alison Sweeney and Lacey Chabert, but no single partner has stuck, so he tends to slot in wherever a story needs a steady hand.
