20 Years After "Mean Girls," Jonathan Bennett Is Finding New Ways To Make Fans Swoon


The actor is thrilled to help the Hallmark Channel boost its queer representation by appearing in a new film trilogy and hosting a Christmas reality series.

In the series’ second installment, The Groomsmen: Second Chances, Danny grapples with a My Best Friend’s Wedding-like conundrum when he’s asked to be the best man for a longtime pal, Zack ( Alexander Lincoln), who is preparing to tie the knot in Greece. Given the scarcity of openly LGBTQ+ athletes in professional sports, Bennett felt he would “offer aspiration and hope” to fans by making Danny a Major League Baseball player. Airing Thursdays, the competition series finds 10 actors vying to be the leading man in an upcoming Hallmark Christmas movie, Happy Howlidays, starring Jessica Lowndes and due out Dec. 21.
