While they might play romantic rivals on "When Calls the Heart," actors Chris McNally and Kevin McGarry are friends when not working. During an appearance on Hallmark's "Home & Family," McNally said he loved hosting parties for his castmates, and he even hosted the season's wrap party for cast and crew.
"I like having friends over and having a good time and creating a good environment and making wicked charcuterie boards," he said. The actor admitted he worked as a bartender prior to being an actor, so he also enjoys mixing drinks for his guests. He hopes to someday open a cocktail bar or speakeasy, he said.
While his career in acting looks bright, McNally told Elevated Magazine if his acting career hadn't worked out, he probably would have been a designer similar to his parents, both of whom work as interior designers. However, he's wanted to be an actor since he was a kid. "I wanted to work in the business and I wanted to be an actor," he recalled. "To be immersed in stories and play different characters, and have people enjoy the products that I'm a part of. It feels like a personal victory, and then also I love what I do so I'm very happy in my own life."
