n this episode of Hallmark Mysteries & More, Eric sits down with one of Hallmark’s most charming leading men, Evan Roderick—star of Providence Falls, Aurora Teagarden Mysteries, Leah’s Perfect Gift, and more.
Evan opens up about stepping into the role of Finn in Hallmark’s ambitious new trilogy Providence Falls—from on-set dynamics with co-stars Katie Stevens and Lachlan Quarmby, to shooting in Ireland, and why the production’s rich cinematography feels unlike any other Hallmark movie. He also shares behind-the-scenes stories about his time as young Arthur in Aurora Teagarden Mysteries, his hockey-to-acting journey, and what it’s like to constantly play the guy who “yearns but doesn’t get the girl.”
You’ll hear:
- The moment Evan realized Providence Falls would be something special
- His take on Hallmark vs. Lifetime sets
- Fun on-location memories (including karaoke in Ireland)
- Why Aurora Teagarden is a dream job—and why fans need more of it
- The Hallmark movies he’s proudest of, from Sealed with a List to Leah’s Perfect Gift
Whether you’re a devoted Hallmark fan or just discovering Evan’s work, this conversation is packed with insight, laughs, and a few teases about what’s next.
