January 26: It’s Wes Brown’s Birthday!

Longtime Hallmark star Wes Brown was born in Fort Worth, Texas, on January 26, 1982, according to IMDb, and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Brown’s first Hallmark movie was 2011’s “Love Begins” and he’s since become one of the network’s most beloved actors. The actor’s popular Hallmark movies range from the “Haul Out the Holly” in 2022 and 2023 to “Wedding at Graceland” and “Christmas at Graceland,” both filmed at Elvis Presley’s iconic home. He also headlined one of the first unscripted shows on Hallmark+ in 2024, “Ready! Set! Glow!”
Fellow Hallmark star Benjamin Ayres’ Romance University Instagram account posted a tribute video for the actor’s 43rd birthday in 2025, where fans can leave comments for the actor and musician, who released a full-length Christmas album in 2023.
January 24: It’s Stephen Huszar’s Birthday!

Stephen Huszar’s birthday is January 24, 1984! On his 41st birthday in 2025, his girlfriend Katie Cassidy, whom he met on the set of Hallmark’s “A Royal Christmas Crush” in the spring of 2023, wrote a sweet tribute to her beau of nearly two years in an Instagram post.
She wrote, “Happy Birthday to the man I love! Stephen, you are the most incredible, kind, loving, warm hearted, selfless, thoughtful, positive, uplifting person I’ve ever met. (And thank goodness you’re just as weird as I am!) Thank you for being my rock. Every day you amaze me. I’m the luckiest girl in the world to have found you and I’m so grateful to have you in my life. I can’t wait to continue doing all the things with you as my partner and best friend! I love you!!! ❤️😘 ❤️ (and so do the fur babies!)”
According to TV Insider, Huszar was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. He told EntertainmentNOW in 2024 that he now divides his time between Vancouver and Los Angeles. You can catch Huszar’s latest Hallmark movies — “The Jane Mysteries” co-starring Jodie Sweetin — which are all available to stream on Hallmark+.
