Most recent
Serge Houde is the kind of actor Hallmark keeps on the supporting bench, never the name on the poster but a familiar face once the movie starts. Across 13 films going back to 2008, he has never top-billed, and that is fine; he is here to round out the small town rather than carry it. And small towns are where you will find him, with eight of those films set on those tidy main streets, most of them in winter. Seven are Christmas titles. His best-reviewed outing is Five More Minutes from 2021 at 7.5, with the 2008 holiday favorite The Most Wonderful Time of the Year close behind at 7.3. He works with a rotating cast rather than one steady partner. If you watch enough December Hallmark, you have seen Serge, probably as someone's father or the wise neighbor, and never once wondered who he was.
