Mark Brandon is the kind of actor Hallmark keeps in the rotation without ever handing him the poster. Across 13 films since 2015 he has never top-billed once, which makes him a steady supporting hand rather than a lead, and he wears it well. Small towns are his natural habitat, the setting for six of these titles, and he plays everything fairly straight, no winking at the strangeness. He has no fixed co-star to anchor him either, so he turns up where he is needed and gets on with it. His best-reviewed work is Falling for Vermont from 2017 at 6.9, just ahead of Ms. Christmas Comes to Town and Ice Sculpture Christmas. If you watch enough of these, you have seen him, and you have probably liked him without quite catching the name.
