- 0:35Speaker 1: how are you doing very good?
- 0:37Speaker 2: How are you? Sir?
- 0:38Speaker 1: Absolutely fantastic and so honored to share a conversation with
- 0:41Speaker 1: you because you understand storytelling and what it takes to
- 0:45Speaker 1: pull from the actor for you to feel like that
- 0:48Speaker 1: you are one of us, and that I swear to God,
- 0:51Speaker 1: that is the connection with everybody that tunes into the
- 0:53Speaker 1: Hallmark Channel and the movies that you're in, because it
- 0:56Speaker 1: feels like you are one of us.
- 1:00Speaker 3: I love that way to start the interview. Man, I'm
- 1:03Speaker 3: fired up. You got me feeling good about myself.
- 1:05Speaker 1: We're in this generation right now, or this season of
- 1:08Speaker 1: movie sharing and where the writers are stepping forward with
- 1:12Speaker 1: these unbelievable stories such as I'll be seeing you and
- 1:15Speaker 1: that's where people are and then here you guys come.
- 1:18Speaker 1: It's like, of course they're going to be here, and
- 1:20Speaker 1: of course Tyler is going to be a part of this.
- 1:24Speaker 2: I love that.
- 1:25Speaker 3: Yeah. Our writers Joey and Blake put a lot of
- 1:27Speaker 3: energy into this thing, and myself and my producing Partny
- 1:31Speaker 3: Orley Addelson, we worked very hard of bringing this concept
- 1:34Speaker 3: to life because we wanted to tell a story that
- 1:36Speaker 3: put somebody that we think is really really fascinating and lovely,
- 1:40Speaker 3: which is folks of a certain age center stage and
- 1:42Speaker 3: let them do their thing that we all were grateful for.
- 1:45Speaker 1: And that also includes wearing some pretty cool, funky sunglasses
- 1:49Speaker 1: that are in the heart shapes.
- 1:52Speaker 3: The funkiest, the classic Lolita heart eye sunglasses.
- 1:56Speaker 2: I mean, these are timeless.
- 1:58Speaker 1: I was so jealous, so jealous, so jealous, and you
- 2:00Speaker 1: know what, it totally sets us up for the summer
- 2:03Speaker 1: months because I want to know how many of those
- 2:05Speaker 1: sunglasses I'm going to see out there on the Carolina
- 2:07Speaker 1: beaches or even if I go around to some of
- 2:09Speaker 1: the lakes, You're going to.
- 2:11Speaker 2: See a lot.
- 2:12Speaker 3: Sir.
- 2:12Speaker 2: I think Amazon's sold out.
- 2:17Speaker 1: To become a part of a movie like this. What
- 2:19Speaker 1: is it like? Because it really does feel like that
- 2:21Speaker 1: it is coming from you directly. Do you study the
- 2:24Speaker 1: characters that you're doing. How is it that you're able
- 2:27Speaker 1: to really become these people?
- 2:31Speaker 2: I mean, you're very kind to.
- 2:34Speaker 3: The movie was again something I created with a friend
- 2:37Speaker 3: of mine, and you know, we were part of the
- 2:39Speaker 3: whole development process, so we had kind of built the
- 2:42Speaker 3: character somewhat. But really, you're right, it is the writers
- 2:45Speaker 3: who really put the pen to paper and create whatever
- 2:48Speaker 3: that thing is going to be.
- 2:49Speaker 2: And then it's my job to try not to make
- 2:51Speaker 2: a mess of it. So I work very hard.
- 2:53Speaker 3: A lot of times I look in the mirror and
- 2:55Speaker 3: I say words to myself alone and memorize lines. It's
- 2:58Speaker 3: a weird process, but it's my job as an actor,
- 3:00Speaker 3: and it's strange.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Well. One of the powerful messages that you bring inside
- 3:04Speaker 1: this movie is the importance of buried love letters. People
- 3:08Speaker 1: don't write love letters anymore. They may send a text,
- 3:11Speaker 1: but my god, it sure hopefully will inspire people. Put
- 3:14Speaker 1: some ink on a page and share your emotions with
- 3:17Speaker 1: somebody that you love.
- 3:20Speaker 3: Yeah, and if you want to take it a step further,
- 3:21Speaker 3: put it in a really cute bottle that looks aged,
- 3:24Speaker 3: stick it in a tree, and just hope that that
- 3:26Speaker 3: person finds it. Because if that happens like it does
- 3:29Speaker 3: in our movie, how romantic would that be?
- 3:31Speaker 2: That's quite better of that text message.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Come on, now, can I tell you how your movie
- 3:35Speaker 1: has inspired me? Instead of using a bottle, I'm actually
- 3:38Speaker 1: planting writing instruments in their original boxes in the soil
- 3:42Speaker 1: and force because I want people to come by and
- 3:44Speaker 1: find the writing instrument and take it home and write.
- 3:48Speaker 2: I love the sounds of that.
- 3:50Speaker 1: But it came from your movie. It came from your movie.
- 3:53Speaker 1: You inspired me because that's what your movie did. Dude.
- 3:58Speaker 2: If this is not what life's about, I don't know
- 4:00Speaker 2: what is.
- 4:01Speaker 1: Please do not move. There's more with Tyler Hines coming
- 4:04Speaker 1: up next. The name of the movie. I'll be seeing you.
- 4:08Speaker 1: It's on the Hallmark Channel. We are back with actor
- 4:11Speaker 1: Tyler Hines. You also have an actor in this movie
- 4:15Speaker 1: that we're all gonna love and we're all gonna want
- 4:16Speaker 1: it for Christmas. Mabel. We all got to have Mabel.
- 4:20Speaker 1: Mabel is in my heart.
- 4:23Speaker 2: Mabel was not cheap.
- 4:24Speaker 3: Let me tell you when I asked the price tag
- 4:26Speaker 3: on mabel a vintage VW Westvalia. I did not understand
- 4:31Speaker 3: the culture that existed for this bus, and you know
- 4:34Speaker 3: well deserved because driving that thing was a dream. Yeah
- 4:38Speaker 3: it shifted gears when I didn't ask it to. Yeah,
- 4:42Speaker 3: it doesn't have power steering, and I almost went off
- 4:44Speaker 3: a cliff. But the memories and smell of that thing,
- 4:47Speaker 3: you know, you can't trade that.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Is there a book author inside of you? With the
- 4:53Speaker 1: way that you do bring acting together and you're able
- 4:55Speaker 1: to bring things out in a language that people speak,
- 4:59Speaker 1: but they don't do it loudly?
- 5:03Speaker 2: Book author, Mike? Are you crawling inside my brain?
- 5:06Speaker 3: Sir?
- 5:06Speaker 2: How do you?
- 5:07Speaker 3: I would never admit to trying to author a book,
- 5:10Speaker 3: but who knows.
- 5:11Speaker 2: Noally you've said.
- 5:12Speaker 1: It, Well, it's just acting with paragraphs is all it is.
- 5:16Speaker 1: I mean, when I sit down to write my paragraphs
- 5:18Speaker 1: and stuff like that, of course I acted out. And
- 5:20Speaker 1: that's when I'm when I'm watching your movies, I feel
- 5:22Speaker 1: like it's like, my God, why have I don't gotten
- 5:24Speaker 1: Why don't I have a book of this guy. There's
- 5:26Speaker 1: got to be a book somewhere that he's putting together.
- 5:30Speaker 2: You were not wrong, sir, you might be onto something here.
- 5:34Speaker 1: What what do you learn from a project like this,
- 5:37Speaker 1: because I mean, you're you're so spot on with with
- 5:40Speaker 1: you know, expressing that journey forward and giving people that
- 5:43Speaker 1: opportunity to escape.
- 5:46Speaker 3: I learned that I am nowhere nearly as talented as
- 5:50Speaker 3: Christine ever Saw and BJ Harrison. These are the folks
- 5:53Speaker 3: who play that golden aged characters in our movie, and uh,
- 5:57Speaker 3: they are tenured and and talented in ways that I
- 6:01Speaker 3: can only dream of. And honestly, in terms of the
- 6:05Speaker 3: movie itself, what I've learned is that there is a
- 6:09Speaker 3: special feeling that comes when you spend time with people
- 6:13Speaker 3: like that, and that is living in the present, and
- 6:16Speaker 3: how beautiful that can be when everything else melts away
- 6:19Speaker 3: and you're not compelled to pick up your phone or
- 6:22Speaker 3: check Instagram or do anything.
- 6:24Speaker 2: But be with that person.
- 6:26Speaker 3: And that's a beautiful thing to try to chase and
- 6:28Speaker 3: to spend time with. So hopefully we capture that feeling
- 6:31Speaker 3: in this movie and it reminds you of those moments
- 6:33Speaker 3: and encourages folks to spend time looking and talking to
- 6:37Speaker 3: the people that they love and doing nothing but that.
- 6:39Speaker 1: Yeah, and when you're going in between these cities, and
- 6:41Speaker 1: this might be a Pacific Northwest thing because I'm from
- 6:44Speaker 1: Montana and you're from up in the Pacific Northwest. It's
- 6:46Speaker 1: one of those things. If you're going into a small town,
- 6:48Speaker 1: go learn about it. Go talk to the real people
- 6:51Speaker 1: at the ice cream shop.
- 6:54Speaker 2: Yes, go eat the ice cream. Go eat all of
- 6:56Speaker 2: the ice cream if you can.
- 6:58Speaker 1: I was going to ask you about Christine, if you
- 7:00Speaker 1: would actually take a road trip with that entire gang,
- 7:02Speaker 1: because I mean, you made it look fun, You make
- 7:04Speaker 1: it look like that. This is what these are my
- 7:05Speaker 1: plans for the summer. We're going on a road trip. Yes,
- 7:08Speaker 1: it's going to be a mission. But the thing about
- 7:09Speaker 1: it is we're going to make fun of it.
- 7:13Speaker 2: Yes, that's exactly right.
- 7:14Speaker 3: We would be in the van, there would be cameras
- 7:17Speaker 3: mounted all over the place, and I would just play
- 7:20Speaker 3: music by Christine and force her against her will to
- 7:23Speaker 3: sing it's her beautiful angelic voice, and just fill our
- 7:27Speaker 3: days with.
- 7:27Speaker 2: Laughter and the song that only she could sing. You know,
- 7:32Speaker 2: it was a.
- 7:32Speaker 3: Beautiful, beautiful, surreal experience and nothing I'll certainly forget.
- 7:38Speaker 1: How do you hold onto something like that, because when
- 7:39Speaker 1: somebody does bring something out without the studio effects of
- 7:42Speaker 1: going in there with the engineer and the band and
- 7:45Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. When they can do it,
- 7:47Speaker 1: you know, acapella like that. How is it that you're
- 7:49Speaker 1: able to, you know, to digest that.
- 7:53Speaker 2: You really can't, you know.
- 7:55Speaker 3: I have a deep seated phobia and fear of people
- 7:58Speaker 3: looking into my eyes as they sing, because I don't
- 8:01Speaker 3: know what to do with myself in those moments. But
- 8:03Speaker 3: with Christine, she's got such a voice that it melts
- 8:07Speaker 3: your brain and your soul and there's nothing you can
- 8:09Speaker 3: do other than fall into her eyes and listen to
- 8:13Speaker 3: her voice as she fills the room with this this
- 8:17Speaker 3: thing that is just given by God and no band needed.
- 8:24Speaker 3: Everybody stops what they're doing, crew included, and just sort
- 8:26Speaker 3: of drinks it in. It's a special gift that only
- 8:29Speaker 3: she has.
- 8:29Speaker 2: It seems well.
- 8:30Speaker 1: The whole entire cast and the layout of the storyline
- 8:33Speaker 1: and Joe, did you feel like it's like, oh my god,
- 8:35Speaker 1: this is like a new definition of joy and that
- 8:38Speaker 1: people are going to feel it in their own way,
- 8:41Speaker 1: but this movie's going to serve as that inspiration.
- 8:46Speaker 3: Yeah, my mom really liked the script, you know, and
- 8:49Speaker 3: she since liked the movie so I feel like, if
- 8:52Speaker 3: that's the case, we've done our job here because there
- 8:55Speaker 3: was a feeling that came intact with that script, and
- 8:59Speaker 3: it seems to have maintained itself throughout all the processes
- 9:03Speaker 3: these movies go through. So I'm proud of that fact
- 9:06Speaker 3: and proud of everybody who worked on it. Because Mom
- 9:08Speaker 3: texted me last night saying she watched it again for
- 9:10Speaker 3: the hundredth time, So it's doing something right.
- 9:13Speaker 1: It's that kind of movie. Please come back to this
- 9:15Speaker 1: show anytime in the future, Tyler. The door is always
- 9:18Speaker 1: going to be open for you.
- 9:21Speaker 2: It would be my pleasure at honor. Sir, has been
- 9:22Speaker 2: a joy talking to you.
- 9:23Speaker 1: Will you be brilliant today?
- 9:25Speaker 2: Okay, yes, sir, you too,
