Christmas with Travis Milne

Canadian actor Travis Milne has one of the most strikingly beautiful faces in recent screen history.  Plus his real name is George Travis Darold Milne XI.  That's right, there have been 10 Travis Milnes before him, generation after generation of strikingly beautiful faces.














Unfortunately, drop-dead gorgeous guys are  often relegated to romantic comedies.  Travis has starred in several of those dreary "finding love at Christmastime" movies:

Holiday in Handcuffs (2007): Melissa Joan Hart kidnaps Mario Lopez, and passes him off as her boyfriend at a Christmas gathering, where her brother reveals that he is gay.  That's more surprising than committing a felony?  Travis plays the gay brother's boyfriend.

A Gift-Wrapped Christmas (2015): Workaholic single dad (Travis) finds love with a harried personal shopper.  At Christmas, natch.












Runaway Christmas Bride (2017): Kate leaves her fiancee at the altar and falls in love with an Olympic skiier (Travis).    At Christmas.

Apparently you just need to add the word "Christmas" to a movie to qualify for it to air on the Hallmark Channel in December.  Let's try it out:

Christmas in Casablanca.
A Jurassic Park Christmas
Home Alone at Christmas

He has also been some generic "finding love" romcoms:

Nearlyweds (2013): Three female friends find out that their weddings, to Ryan Kennedy, Steve Bacic, and Travis Milne, were performed illegally.  Complications ensue.

Couldn't they just do them over?  What is this, 1964?

Summer Love (2016).  How's that for a generic title?  They're not even trying.  A widowed mom has to choose between two hot guys (Travis, Lucas Bryant).

Same Time Next Week (2017): A widow and a widower (Travis) find love.



Other than finding love, Travis appeared in some shorts, some sleaze (Confessions of a Go-Go Girl), and some Canadian cop shows, including story arcs on Rogue and Saving Hope and 78 episodes of Rookie Blue (back before he buffed up).

Plus he hosted My Green House, a Canadian environmentally friendly DIY series.

Quite a lot of work for someone of  his age, but nothing most gay men would go out of their way to see.

No mention of a wife or girlfriend, but I still get the distinct impression that he's heterosexual.
