Cameron Mathison
Cameron Mathison made headlines in 2023 when he announced he had signed a multi-picture deal with Great American Family, a new network founded by former Hallmark CEO Bill Abbott.
“It is very important to me to create well-crafted, beautiful stories,” added Mathison. “I am grateful to be back at Great American Media and to collaborate with some of the best creative teams in entertainment to make heartwarming content everyone can enjoy.”
Long career
A native of Ontario, Mathison graduated from McGill University before pursuing a career in modeling and acting. He landed bit parts on The Drew Carey Show and JAG before being cast as Ryan Laevery on General Hospital in 1998.
He has appeared in the Hallmark movies The Christmas Ornament (2013), Window Wonderland (2013), Along Came a Nanny (2014), My Gal Sunday (2014), A Christmas to Remember (2016), At Home in Mitford (2017), Very, Very Valentine (2018), A Summer to Remember (2018), Love, Of Course (2018), The Christmas Club (2019).
He also starred as Detective Mike Kingston in the Hannah Swensen Mystery series alongside Alison Sweeney.
He became a correspondent for Good Morning America and joined Debbie Matenopoulos as co-host of the lifestyle series Home and Family in 2018, replacing Mark Steines. Hallmark canceled the series in 2021.

Cameron Mathison has posted on social media about his experience with Legg Calve Perthes Disease, a rare degenerative bone disease, that forced him to wear leg braces for four years when he was a child.
He has also shared with fans about his fight with cancer. In 2019, he announced on the Hallmark Channel series Home and Family that doctors had discovered a cancerous growth on his right kidney.
“It’s a tumor that’s consistent with something called renal cell carcinoma,” he said as his co-host Debbie Matenopoulos looked on.
The cancer had not spread, and the tumor was surgically removed. Mathison has been cancer free since 2021.
New show
Mathison’s new show is based on the BBC series Bridge of Lies. In Beat The Bridge, contestants must try to cross an enormous interactive bridge by stepping on the right answers to challenging trivia questions. Each step forward puts money in the team’s bank, with bonus money for each successful crossing. However, the team gets to keep the money only if it can “beat the bridge” by returning one of its players back across before time expires in an exciting end game.
Game Show Network will premiere Beat the Bridge in June.
