Cindy Busby was born on March 18, 1983 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. She was only a child when she began thinking about becoming an actress.

4. Cindy Busby's Hallmark Movies

It seemed like having a role in a Hallmark movie is a right of passage. Like so many other Hallmark actors and actresses, Cindy acted in some supporting roles before she became a lead actress. Her first Hallmark movie in a supporting role was Lucky in Love in 2014. At the same time, Cindy was also acting in another supporting role in Cedar Cove as Rebecca Jennings in 2014 and 2015.

Acting in supporting roles was good experience and exposure for Cindy. Her supporting roles were stepping stones to roles as the main character in 12 Hallmark movies and in guest appearances in three episodes of When Calls the Heart. Her most popular Hallmark roles were in Unleashing Mr. Darcy in 2016 and Marrying Mr. Darcy in 2018. Both movies have had over 3 million viewers. That's not surprising because Cindy had great chemistry with popular actor Ryan Paevey.

5. Hallmark Co-Stars

Cindy has shown great chemistry not only with Ryan Paevey but also with Christopher Russell. She acted in two movies with Peavey and three movies with Russell. Busby and Russell had starring roles in the 2016 movie A Puppy for Christmas, the 2020 movie Love in the Forecast, and in their movie Chasing Waterfalls in 2021.

6. Cindy Busby on GAC Family

Chasing Waterfalls was Busby and Russell's last Hallmark movie together. In fact, it was their last Hallmark movie because both of them left the Hallmark channel and moved to the GAC Family channel.

Busby and Russel starred in two different GAC Christmas movies in 2021. Busby was the lead character in Joy for Christmas, and Russell had a starring role in A Lot Like Christmas. Perhaps they will act together in a GAC movie. Fans of both actors would like to see that happen.
