## Early life and start in acting
Walker grew up in Montréal and attended Vanier College, where he holds five football records.[8](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1027286) According to a Yahoo entertainment feature, a career-ending injury pushed him into a different playing field, acting.[9](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/andrew-walker-hallmark-royalty-23-183743362.html)
His first screen work came on Canadian youth television. He was a recurring lead on *Student Bodies* from 1996 to 1997 and was then cast as a series lead on *Back to Sherwood* and *Radio Active*.[5](https://johnsonproductiongroup.com/images/2018cwd/Press-Kits-One-Sheets/Christmas_On_My_Mind_PRESS_KIT.pdf) An early film appearance was an uncredited role in the 2001 crime film *The Score*.[10](https://www.tvguide.com/celebrities/andrew-w-walker/bio/3000123094/)
## Steel Toes and the Borsos Award
Walker's award-winning early film role came in *Steel Toes*, opposite Academy Award nominee [David Strathairn](https://www.edgepedia.org/david-strathairn).[2](https://www.hallmarkchannel.com/three-wiser-men-and-a-boy/cast/andrew-walker) He won the Phillip Borsos Award for Best Actor at the Whistler Film Festival for the performance; IMDb dates the win to 2006, while Cinegraph lists the film's release year as 2007.[4](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1027286/awards/) • [6](https://cinegraph.org/people/andrew-w-walker) The Borsos Competition, named for the Canadian filmmaker Philip Borsos, celebrates Canadian feature films with independent vision and has run since 2004.[11](https://www.whistlerfilmfestival.com/film-festival/awards-and-juries)
## Hallmark career
Walker made his Hallmark network debut in 2012 in *A Bride for Christmas* opposite [Arielle Kebbel](https://www.edgepedia.org/arielle-kebbel), and the two reunited on screen for 2015's *Bridal Wave*, which raised his profile on the network.[3](https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/pictures/andrew-walkers-hallmark-movies-a-guide-unofficial-ranking/) In a February 2023 interview with *Us Weekly*, he described the milestone: "Being on Hallmark for 10 years now and [nearly] 26 movies later, or whatever it is that I'm in, it's crazy... This is exactly where I want to be."[3](https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/pictures/andrew-walkers-hallmark-movies-a-guide-unofficial-ranking/) The timing mattered to him; before the Hallmark success he had gone about a year and a half without work and was questioning whether acting was the right career path.[12](https://www.morninghoney.com/p/andrew-walker-grateful-working-hallmark-movies)
