Winning smile! Kristoffer Polaha got his start on Hallmark Channel in 2016 — and he’s been stepping up his game ever since.
The 46-year-old actor portrayed Robert in Dater’s Handbook and Matt Crawford in Hearts of Christmas, both of which aired in 2016. The following year, he appeared in his second holiday film for Hallmark Media, Rocky Mountain Christmas.
Polaha then formed a bond with his Pearl in Paradise costar Jill Wagner, which led to the duo costarring in the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries franchise Mystery 101. The series follows Professor Amy Winslow (Wagner) as she helps Detective Travis Burke (Polaha) solve crimes. The actors debuted four drama films in 2019 and later worked together on three additional sleuth movies between 2020 and 2021.
It’s been two years since Polaha and Wagner graced the screen together, but the Nevada native teased in March that he would happily make another Mystery 101 movie if the network had one in mind.
“We love telling those stories and whatever the network decides … it’s inconclusive,” he revealed during an interview with Just Jared. “There’s always been conversation about No. 8, [but] there’s no, like, official word. I know that some of those shows were officially canceled, but there’s been no official word on Mystery 101.”
Polaha continued: “I do know that the mystery audience is a really awesome one and I want to continue telling stories for that audience in one way or another. I’m excited to see the future brings.”
While Wagner did a few projects for Hallmark’s main competitor, Great American Media, in 2021 and 2022, Polaha has stayed committed to the original TV home of all-things Christmas. (Neither Wagner nor Polaha currently have an exclusive deal with either network.)

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Ke Huy Quan, a child star who returned to the spotlight after decades for “Everything Everywhere All at Once,” won the Oscar for best supporting actor. Earning the first standing ovation of the night, Quan took the stage and shouted out his 84-year-old mother, who is watching at home. “Mom, I just won an Oscar!” For Quan, the victory marks an especially emotional coda to awards season. He rose to fame before his teenage years, playing Harrison Ford’s sidekick in 1984’s “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” and appearing in 1985’s “The Goonies.” But Quan quit acting shorty after because he found there weren’t many substantial film roles for Asian people. He didn’t return to acting until 2021 in “Everything Everywhere” as Waymond Wang, the goofy husband to Michelle Yeoh’s multiverse-straddling laundromat owner.
Ke Huy Quan is a winner!
