Just how manyHallmark movies has Luke Macfarlanestarred in?
“[I]t’s really fun to flirt,” he shared.
I guess Hallmark has given me a lot of flirting lessons."
The Hallmark Channel has also played a pivotal role in the actor’s career trajectory.
“Hallmark gave me jobs for a long time.
And not only just the gay best friend they let me be a leading man.
I’m always going to be very grateful to them for that.”
Despite the added pressure, the actor felt an instant connection to his character.
“I identified with Aaron.
So the fact that they did make it for LGBTQ people was my foot in the door.”
We’re going to work really hard because you gave us a shot.'"
“Billy is intimidating,” he told theLos Angeles Times.
Luckily, Macfarlane had already won Stoller over in his original audition.
“It’s totally crazy that he’s not really famous,” Stoller said of the Juilliard alum.
“He’s so good-looking but he’s also a really good actor and he’s very funny.
And for someone who’s so good-looking, he’s weirdly relatable.”
“Bowen was great,” Macfarlane shared.
“I think he’s one of the funniest guys out there.
He explained that this was because his character was supposed to read as “boring” at first glance.
“Boring people tend to not talk a lot,” he told the outlet.
“There were definitely conversations where I said, ‘I think I should say less.’
I asked to have lines removed, which most actors do not do.”
There was another acting challenge he encountered when inhabiting his character Aaron.
“Rewatching the movie, I was like, ‘Oh my God, my voice is so low.’
He’s trying so hard to be this regular, masc, kind of boring guy.”
The actor toldIndieWirewhat he ultimately hopes audiences see in his character.
