Actor Neal Bledsoe chatted with Digital Journal’s Markos Papadatos about his Hallmark movies, latest projects, the digital age, and Christmas Con 2021.

Hallmark films

He is known for his acting work in such Hallmark movies as “Coming Home for Christmas” and “The Christmas Carousel.” “My experience doing these Hallmark films has been really positive so far,” he said. “Each one has been very different. ‘Coming Home for Christmas’ was the first time I worked with Danica McKellar so I didn’t know what to expect but I had a lot of fun and a great time working with her.”

Bledsoe shared that “The Christmas Carousel” was a “wholly different, unique experience” for him, where he played a prince. “It was a lot of fun,” he admitted.

The digital age

On being an actor in the digital age, he said, “It’s a double-edged sword because while there is a lot more content out there, and there are more jobs out there, there have never been fewer careers.”

Christmas Con 2021

On December 10, 11 & 12, 2021, Bledsoe is looking forward to being a part of and hosting the 2021 Christmas Con in New Jersey. “I am very excited though I am not sure what to expect,” he said. “I’m sure it will be a baptism by fire.”

“It will be an opportunity for the fans to have an interaction with the actors. Christmas Con creates a sense of community for people,” Bledsoe added.

‘The Winter Palace’

He revealed that his new film”The Winter Palace” will air on GAC Family in mid-January of 2022. “I did a brand new film with Danica McKellar and it’s called ‘The Winter Palace’,” he said. “We just wrapped it around Thanksgiving in Ontario. I play another British prince that wants to make art instead of rule a kingdom.”

He was born and raised in Toronto, Canada, and made his small screen debut in 2005 playing the role of Quinn in the television series “Guiding Light.”

He’s also an accomplished stage actor and has appeared on Broadway alongside Joan Allen and Jeremy Irons, who told him that he “should play Hamlet.” He has not played Hamlet, but recently did play the title role in Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra. Viewers might have read his Sports Illustrated series for “The Delicate Moron” about his attempt to play professional football with the LA KISS, the Arena League team once owned by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley. Beyond that, Bledsoe has published work in Men’s Health and several fine literary journals no one ever reads. He splits his time between New York and Los Angeles and once owned a dog named Pirate, who probably has more Instagram followers than most people.

On the title of the current chapter of his life, Bledsoe said, “Therapy Kicks In.”

For young and aspiring actors, he encouraged them “to study the craft.” “Go to theater school and film school these days. You need to be good at everything right now,” he said.

Regarding his definition of the word success, Bledsoe noted that it means “creative equity.”

For his fans, Bledsoe concluded, “Thank you. The idea that I would even have people that would be fanatics about my work is an odd thing to think about. As far as I’m concerned, it is still just my mother and her friends.”
