When a new Hallmark movie hits screens, fans of the comforting network know that there’s a good chance they’re going to see a familiar face in one of the male actors bringing the story to life. While there are, of course, new actors brought into the mix throughout the year, over the last decade, we’ve loved watching stars like Andrew Walker, Tyler Hynes, Kevin McGarry, Chris McNally or Benjamin Ayres take the lead. Though there will always be a place in our hearts for these beloved regulars and we hope to see much more of them over the next few years, there’s a new generation of actors showing their stuff on the network we love so much—and we can’t wait to continue getting to know them! Here, meet a few of these rising Hallmark hunks!

While Evan Roderick made his official Hallmark debut back in 2018 in Garage Sale Mysteries: Picture a Murder, he didn’t show his stuff as a leading man until 2022 when he shined in Autumn in the City alongside Aimee Teegarden. Since then, he’s grown his fanbase while starring in the Aurora Teagarden Mysteries film series, the Hallmark+ hit Providence Falls and most recently, he stole the show in Because of Cupid. You won’t want to miss this young actor’s next chapter!

Ian Harding

If Ian Harding looks familiar to you, that’s because he starred in the hit teen mystery Pretty Little Liars for years as Ezra Fitz. The actor was a welcome addition to the network when he first appeared in 2022’s Ghosts of Christmas Always, and he’s since shined in flicks like The Magic of Lemon Drops (2024), the hit series Holidazed, and most recently, Lost in Paradise (2026) alongside Hallmark sweetheart Lacey Chabert. 

Beau Mirchoff

Another actor with a history on television, Beau Mirchoff stole hearts as Matty in the MTV teen comedy Awkward.—a series in which he actually starred alongside fellow Hallmark actress Nikki DeLoach! In 2022, he was introduced to the network through the film Hidden Gems, and in 2023, he starred in the neo-western family drama Ride. He acted sparingly on Hallmark after that, appearing only in 2024’s The Finnish Line, but on April 11, you can catch him in A Little Park Music

Dominic Sherwood

Dominic Sherwood also had a successful career in the teen television sphere on the supernatural series Shadowhunters, and it was only in 2024 that he made his Hallmark Channel debut in Haunted Wedding. This past holiday season, he appeared in A Suite Holiday Romance, and we have our fingers crossed that we’ll be seeing much more of him this year!
