Misunderstood Roy In Hallmark's When Calls The Heart

1341 Words6 Pages

Some time ago, when I was watching one of my favorite mystery series, “Garage Sale Mystery,” I noticed a young actor who seemed to truly shine in his role as the love interest of Lori Loughlin’s daughter. At that moment, I was convinced that we hadn’t seen the last of the actor Madison Smith, and seeing him in the role of the despised but misunderstood Roy in Hallmark’s “When Calls the Heart,” was an unexpected treat. Recently, I had the supreme privilege to chat with this accomplished actor, and our delightful discussion entailed all things Hallmark and beyond.

What inspired you to become an actor?

I grew up playing sports--hockey and baseball. When I was about 20, I was playing baseball in college, but I kept wondering if there was something …show more content…

The moment I tweeted about being on the set, within a couple days, I had more tweets on my twitter page than I had ever had before. The Hearties are loyal and excited. At least 10-20 fans have actually put me in a group of “new people” on the show and told everyone to follow me. I know right now that some people absolutely hate Roy, but they are still supportive of me. I’m kind of like one of those characters you love to hate. A good example of that is Bradley Cooper in “Wedding Crashers.” He is so good in his role, but everyone hates his character. That’s kind of how I feel. If people hate Roy, I’m doing my job well.

Do you have any other upcoming works you can tell us about?

There is a new pilot coming in early June called “Miranda’s Rights,” and I am really excited to be a part of it. The writer is Katie Lovejoy, and the story is about a young law firm in LA. The show stars Rebecca Breeds, and it’s going to be so much fun.

Do you eventually see yourself as writing or directing in this …show more content…

I’m trying to develop a show right now, but even if nothing comes of it, I feel it is important to do it. I love acting on television and being a piece of clay for directors to mold. Right now, I don’t really have any aspirations to become a director, but who can say? I love every aspect of the industry, and I wouldn’t ever say no to directing if the opportunity arises. This is just the greatest industry in the world.

What do you like to do in your free time?

I have a softball team that plays every Sunday in the summer, and Marcus Rosner has been on my team the past few years. I also still have a server job at the Cactus Club Cafe in Vancouver. I don’t work this job because I need the money, but it is that it is a fantastic place to work. I meet lots of wonderful people, and it is so much fun to be out there interacting with the general public.

I would like to say in closing that I am so happy to be a part of this great show “When Calls the Heart.” I hope and pray that Roy will return for season four. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate the wonderful

Baseball is a game I have been playing since the age of eight. Since then, I have been a phenomenal hitter. I was a right-handed hitter when I started playing baseball, and I was the best hitter in my age group. I always hit home runs when it was my turn to bat. The coaches who picked the teams argued about who would get the first pick because they all wanted to pick me first.

Baseball was in my blood. Some of my earliest memories include batting cages with my Dad, sliding into home plate and throwing my first curve ball. By eight years old, I was playing ball year-round on travel teams and loving every minute of it. There wasn’t a doubt in my mind that this was my sport, and I would play it in high school and possibly beyond. But, during the summer of 2010, the unthinkable happened.

Yet, I know that if I was put into a directing position, I would be utterly stressed. This does not mean that I think directing is easy, but more of the means that I would overwork myself more than necessary. The first useful information that I pulled from this book is casting. “Casting is the major decision that a director makes. If you cast correctly, you have done about eighty percent of your work” (37).

For the past couple of year, acting is all I have know to do and it is something that I enjoy to do even though I do not get paid to do it. When acting, I do not have to be myself, but I am the character and when I am on a stage I do not get afraid or nervous because the people will not judge me. Some people will say that going into an acting major is not a smart decision because it's hard to get a job with it, but I'm willing to work hard and do
