Erin Cahill: Our 10 Favorite Hallmark Movies Featuring the Lovely Leading Lady
Erin Cahill has her acting chops on full display on the Hallmark Channel — from a city manager planning a Christmas parade, a big city publicist for a professional baseball player, an FBI agent trying to pin down a serial killer, or an attorney saving her father's farm, she continues to capture our hearts with each role she plays.
Cahill caught the acting bug at a young age, long before making her debut on the Hallmark Channel as one of the most beloved leading ladies on the network. Born in Stafford, Virginia, Cahill got her start at the age of four acting in her mother's local high school productions, before getting started in singing and dancing lessons, participating in pageants and spending a large portion of her adolescence in the spotlight. At 19, she dropped out of college and made her way to La-La-Land to pursue an acting career.
Making it in the big leagues
Erin Cahill's most notable roles have been as Jen Scott, the Pink Time Force Ranger in Power Rangers Time Force, but guest roles on numerous series have come her way. You may have seen her in series such as Supernatural, How I Met Your Mother, Grey's Anatomy, General Hospital, NCIS, Saving Grace, Ghost Whisperer, House, Monk and many more.
Additionally, she has done extensive commercial work for brands like Land Rover, Bank of America, Tampax, Lean Cuisine and Honda, to name a few.
Cahill's Hallmark debut came in 2016's Sleigh Bells Ring, and since then, she's made waves on the network as one of our favorite leading ladies. Here, take a look at this list of our favorite Erin Cahill movies.
