Hallmark star Andrew Walker couldn’t resist finding a way into new movie Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story, the second film in collaboration between the network and the NFL.

Speaking to EntertainmentNow, the actor shared that he grew up a fan of the Buffalo Bills and when he learned they would be in the next NFL/Hallmark film, he reached out to the execs right away. He earned a part as a bartender, which let him be part of some of the promo, including attending a game in September.
“I grew up as a Buffalo Bills fan. On the East Coast of Canada, we adopt the Buffalo Bills or the New York Giants or the Patriots,” Andrew shared.
He also said he was grateful to be part of the movie, even in a small role, and praised its stars Holland Roden and Matthew Daddario.
“I’m one of the old dogs, you know? So they brought me along for the PR tour and stuff, and I was able to speak about the Hallmark brand,” the actor joked.
The film also stars Tracy Pollan, Patti Murin, Joe Pantoliano, and Steve Schirripa, plus Buffalo Bills players and head coach Sean McDermott.
Holiday Touchdown: A Bills Love Story premieres on Saturday, November 22 on Hallmark at 8/7c and next-day on Hallmark+.
