When it’s time to publicize THE CASES OF MYSTERY LANE: DEATH IS LISTENING, actor Paul Campbell is committed. How committed? Campbell’s character, amateur sleuth Alden Case, loves disguises and alter egos. When Campbell appears on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries panel at the Television Critics Association (TCA) press tour, he is introduced, by name, as “Paul Campbell.” With a flourish, Campbell indicates his fake moustache. “I think you mean Saul Campbell!” But, when asked a question, he cannot lie. ““I have to come clean. It was me the whole time, Paul Campbell.” Fellow panelists feign astonishment. “I had no idea,” […]Read On »
