Meet the cast of Signed, Sealed, Delivered
Eric Mabius (Oliver O'Toole)
Oliver O'Toole is a classic gentleman and would probably be more comfortable living in the 1920s than the 2020s. After a rocky start, a romance between he and Shane McInerney blossomed and they married in the last movie, The Vows We Have Made.
Mabius, the actor who plays him, is probably best known for his role as Daniel Meade on ABC's Ugly Betty opposite Academy Award nominee America Ferrara. He made his film debut in 1995's Welcome to the Dollhouse.
Fun fact: Mabius competed in luge and was named an honorary captain of the U.S. Luge Team for the 2010 Winter Olympics.
Kristin Booth (Shane McInerney O'Toole)
Shane is the DLO's computer guru and wasn't even meant to be a member of the Dead Letter Office. She was actually assigned to another DLO in the postal service—Direct Line Operations. By the time Shane was able to transfer to the correct DLO she had become a POstable and decided to stay where she was.
Kristin Booth's first starring film role was opposite a pre-Deadpool Ryan Reynolds in the 2003 heist film, Foolproof. She later starred as Connie in MVP: The Secret Lives of Hockey Wives opposite Haven star Lucas Bryant. Prior to Signed, Sealed, Delivered, Booth took on the role of Ethel Kennedy in the television miniseries, The Kennedys.
Fun fact: Booth was an executive producer on the Hallmark Channel movie, Winter's Dream starring Kristy Swanson and Dean Cain. Booth's husband, Tim Ware, was a writer on the film!
Yan-Kay Crystal Lowe (Rita Haywith Dorman)
Rita has a quirky personality and a big heart. She competed in and won her branch's Miss Postal Delivery pageant. She had secretly been in love with Norman for years, not realizing the attraction was mutual. Rita and Norman have since tied the knot and hope to start a family.
Lowe is of Scottish-Chinese decent. She was first to participate in the Make Her Mark mentorship program. Created by actress Ashley Williams, Make Her Mark mentors females who aspire to become directors. Lowe shadowed another female director on a Hallmark film and later got the chance to direct a Hallmark movie of her own. Her directorial debut was on the Hallmark movie, Shifting Gears, starring Katherine Barrell and Tyler Hynes.
Fun fact: Lowe has a younger sister and is fluent in Cantonese.
Geoff Gustafson (Norman Dorman)
Norman is the team's version of James Bond's Q, but with a lot less expensive tech. He's been quietly in love with Rita for years and only in recent years finally acted on his passion for her.
Geoff Gustafson has been acting for close to three decades and hails from the same high school as Yan-Kay Crystal Lowe, New Amsterdam's Tyler Labine and Property Brothers' Jonathan and Drew Scott. Both Gustafson and Lowe were part of the main cast of Primeval: New World alongside Hallmark Channel alum Niall Matter. He most recently appeared in Gilded Newport Mysteries: Murder at the Breakers.
Fun fact: Gustafson is an ardent baseball fan and he doesn't eat sweets.

Gregory Harrison (Joe O'Toole)
The ageless Gregory Harrison is still recognized for his role as Dr. Gonzo Gates on Trapper John, M.D. He has been married to model/actress Randi Oakes for over 40 years. Oakes is best known for her role as Officer Bonnie Clark on the television show CHiPs opposite Larry Wilcox and Erik Estrada. The couple has four children. Their daughter, Lily Anne Harrison, starred in the Hallmark Christmas movie, Christmas Camp. Harrison is an avid surfer. Harrison also had a recurring role on Chesapeake Shores.
Fun fact: After filming The Nine Lives of Christmas with Brandon Routh and Kimberley Sustad, Harrison adopted a cat which he named Doobie.
