Steve Bacic is the actor Hallmark keeps calling back, the dependable face you recognize before you place the name. Across 28 films since 2013 he has never been the lead, and that is rather the point: he's the steady supporting presence who makes a small town feel lived in, and small towns are where he works, 18 titles set in one. He turns up most at Christmas, six holiday outings, and he plays them straight rather than wink at the camera. His best-reviewed is Time for Him to Come Home for Christmas from 2022 at 7.4, with Mystery 101: An Education in Murder just behind at 7.3. What's telling is the company he keeps. He has shared the screen with Sarah Strange thirteen times, and with Kevin O'Grady, Lori Loughlin, and Eva Bourne a dozen each, the kind of repeat casting that says the network has a regular it trusts.
Steve Bacic is a Canadian actor. He is known for playing the characters Gaheris and Telemachus Rhade on the Sci-Fi series Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda. After guest starring in seasons 1-3 as both characters, he joined the cast early in season 4 as Telemachus. In total, he was in 44 of the 110 Andromeda episodes. Beginning in 2013, he co-starred as Jason in the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel Garage Sale Mysteries series of TV films.
Across 28 films, Steve frequently leans into Christmas, often plays a small business owner and is usually set in small towns.
