A Safari Romance Offered Andrew Walker A Hallmark Rite Of Passage

In an interview with Heavy, Hallmark star Andrew Walker opened up about landing the first spot on the “A Safari Romance” call sheet, explaining that it was quite a surprise. A call sheet is a production tool that contains important filming and logistical information, including the filming schedule and shooting location.

For cast members, the highest-billed and leading actor is listed first on the call sheet, so it was significant for Walker to have the top spot. “I’ve always just assumed [I’d be second],” he shared. “My manager told me … ‘Alright, so you’re doing this movie ‘A Safari Romance’ in South Africa and oh, by the way, they’re making you number one on the call sheet.’ I was like ‘What!?’”

While the actor explained that call sheet order isn’t a huge deal, he admitted it was still a special moment. “It’s just a little nod, a little feather in the cap,” he explained. “It’s just [Hallmark] saying, ‘Hey, Andrew, you know, we believe in you now, and we want you to carry this movie.’” Though we’re a little surprised it took this long, we’re just happy that the Hallmark star is getting the recognition he deserves.
