In the news: Graham Wardle of Heartland goes country

From Bruce Kirkland of QMI Agency:

  • ‘Heartland’ star likes going country
    “The city kid goes to the country — and likes it! Graham Wardle, one of the appealing young leads in the Canadian TV series Heartland, was born in Mission, B.C., but grew up entirely in greater Vancouver. So Alberta’s Big Sky country, where Heartland is filmed, is a revelation and part of the show’s appeal to both him and the public.” Read more.

And the new release of two box sets, Heartland: The Complete First Season and Heartland: The Complete Second Season is a poignant reminder.” Read more.
