Mallory Jansen Brings the Murder and Mystery to Hallmark in "Francesca Quinn P.I."

quotI think Hallmark could definitely be moving in a different direction of going a little darker with these thingsquot she continued quotThey39re making things a little more realistic and I39m here for it I really loved this character because she39s so strongwilled intelligent intuitive and just tough She doesn39t need a guy She39s very independent I loved that about her And she has a past that was really fun for me to unravel There was so much to this character not to say that there wasn39t to my other characters on Hallmark but it39s a darker story and while maybe not so feelgood it keeps you on the edge of your seat and has you wondering what will happen nextquotInvite job candidates to apply live during the Media and Advertising Communityamp8217s Black Talent Outreach Week at MediaVillagecom and AdvancingDiversityorg October 1720 Apply for jobssubmit your resume hereamp160Helping Jansen explore the world of Francesca Quinn is a talented ensemble cast that includes Dylan Bruce pictured below with Jansen as Det Wynton Moreau with whom Quinn has an interesting history In fact there are so many characters and plot points it39s a movie you have to really pay attention to quotWithout visually seeing who plays who and with all of the situations happening I definitely felt I had to write a few things down to understand what was happeningquot Jansen said with a laugh about reading the scriptquotThere are so many interesting plot pointsquot she continued quotLike her past and the case they39re currently working on which makes for a complicated story Still you will understand why there are all these people and how they39re all suspects which makes it exciting It all comes together in the best way in the end but the film leaves it to the audience to figure out who did it I39m so interested in knowing if they do as I certainly didn39t and by the end I was shocked I didn39t see it comingquotWhile the film does lean towards the darker side Jansen shared that things on the set weren39t always superserious quotDylan was great to work withquot she said of her costar quotHe39s so talented very prepared and very present and a great partner in crime These shoots are fastpaced and every cast member brought it every day That makes it easy I love working with committed actors like Samantha Kendrick who plays Det Beatrice Knutsen We39re very similar and shared so many blooper moments like bumping into each other and bursting out laughing It39s nice when you39re working on a dramatic project to have those momentsquotReflecting on Francesca as a character Jansen understands why she has a serious side In addition to not having an American accent Jansen grew up in Australia she doesn39t share a lot of Francesca39s character traits which made her all the more fun to play quotI do enjoy doing an American accentquot Jansen revealed quotI tend to stay in an accent while working as it helps you really become the character The accent is something I change up from project to project but it39s never Australian I really want a role with an Australian accent It39d be so much easierquotAs for Frankie I don39t know if I39m similar to herquot she added quotI don39t take myself very seriously and I don39t think I39d be very good at solving crimes I39d probably wear her wardrobe though as that39s kind of fun Playing someone who39s so far from me just makes it excitingquotJansen is hopeful Francesca39s first case won39t be her last and should a franchise be born she39s absolutely on board quotTowards the end of the film she does develop more of a team mentality and that team works really well togetherquot she said quotIt39d be interesting to see them work on other cases and to work with this crew again and Hallmark Media They39re just a great bunch of people to work with It39s a very femaledriven network that really cares about every project and about its actorsquotIt feels like you39re a part of somethingquot she added in closing quotThey really love what they39re doing and they see their work as bringing a little bit of happiness to the people watching That39s why I really love being a part of these movies I39m just happy I can bring that into people39s homesquotFrancesca Quinn PI will be telecast Sunday September 25 at 9 pm on Hallmark Movies ampamp MysteriesClick the social buttons to share this content with your friends and colleaguesThe opinions and points of view expressed in this content are exclusively the views of the author andor subjects and do not necessarily represent the views of MediaVillagecomMyersBizNet Inc management or associated writers
