Can you tell us a bit about your character in A European Christmas?
Hunter was a guy that used to be in the limelight in the acting business. And he had a wife and a kid, a couple of kids. And he decided one day that he didn’t want that life anymore. So, he moved back to Serbia where his wife was from, started getting involved in the community there and found out what was really important in life. And it wasn’t the limelight. It wasn’t the glitz and glamour of show business. It was about being there for your community and being there for your family. And so, he settled down there nice and cozy, living his life. Unfortunately, his wife passed away. And then comes Ivy to come looking for him.
What initially attracted you to your role in A European Christmas?
One of the big things that attracted me to this role was the fact that we were going to be filming movie in Serbia. I’d never been to Serbia before. I had no idea what to expect. They wanted it to be snowy so we could have the whole scenery of Christmas and the snow and all the mountains and stuff. And I got really excited about the idea of going and living in this community and experiencing Christmas and having all the bells and whistles that go along with it, the real snow, all that.
