Alexander Lincoln, known for his portrayal of Jamie Tate on the popular ITV soap Emmerdale, has now landed a new role in Hollywood. He will be starring alongside Mean Girls actor Jonathan Bennett in a new Hallmark movie series, The Groomsmen trilogy.
The series focuses on three best friends who are each other's groomsmen at their weddings, and Alexander will be playing the love interest of Jonathan's character, baseball coach Danny. They will be joined by actors Tyler Hynes and B.J. Britt in the films.
In the second film, The Groomsmen Second Chances, Danny will confess his feelings for Alexander's character, who is set to be the best man at his wedding in Greece. Sources have revealed that this is a huge opportunity for Alexander, as it will open doors for bigger opportunities in Hollywood. It's a smart move for the actor, who has previously starred in indie movies and on Emmerdale.
Jonathan recently spoke about the films, stating that it is a huge move for the gay community to see themselves represented in leading roles in Hallmark movies. This is the first time a gay wedding will be the main storyline for the network.
Alexander's role in The Groomsmen trilogy is just the latest in a string of projects for the actor since leaving Emmerdale in 2021 after two years on the show. In 2022, he starred in the romantic drama film In from the Side, playing one of the leads in a story about two men having a secret affair.
Earlier this year, Alexander made a guest appearance in the TV show Doctors, playing the role of Joel Tanner, a character who was romantically involved with both Luca McIntyre and Maria Jaziri.
Despite leaving Emmerdale, Alexander has not ruled out a return to the show. He revealed that there have been talks about him coming back, but for now, he wants to focus on other projects, including producing and writing his own scripts.
Alexander also has another film in the works, On a Winter's Night, where he will star alongside actor Jack Brett Anderson. The film tells the story of two men who team up on a quest to find meaning in their lives on a winter night in London.
The Groomsmen trilogy will debut on Hallmark+ on Thursday, with the second and third films following later in October. If you have any soap or TV stories, videos, or pictures, don't hesitate to get in touch with us.
