EMMY(R) AWARD WINNER RICHARD THOMAS STARS IN "TIME AFTER TIME," A HALLMARK CHANNEL ORIGINAL MOVIE WORLD PREMIERE MARCH 19

Kaj-Erik Eriksen and Christine Chatelain Also Star

A soul-searching journalist comes face-to-face with his future when he returns to the Long Island community he grew up in and confronts a past that has haunted him his entire adult life in the Hallmark Channel Original Movie, "Time After Time," premiering Saturday, March 19 (9 p.m. ET/PT, 8C). Emmy(R) Award winner Richard Thomas ("The Waltons") stars alongside Kaj-Erik Eriksen ("The 4400") as a man who travels back in time and comes face-to-face with a younger version of himself. When the mature man looks into the eyes of someone who looks strangely familiar, if younger, he has an opportunity to fix tomorrow's mistakes today. Christine Chatelain ("Final Destination") also stars.

Richard Kerm (Eriksen) is always running. When things get tough, he bolts for the door, fleeing every job he's had in the eleven years since he left his quaint hometown of Glenville Long Island. Now, he returns, hoping to find comfort in familiarity after a tough career break. When he starts working as a reporter at Glenville's newspaper, Richard meets Dick (Thomas), who is strangely too familiar. He is shocked to learn Dick is his future self, who has traveled back in time to convince Richard to stop running away and start embracing life's challenges. But Richard isn't ready for his biggest challenge: his high school sweetheart Jackie (Chatelain) who Richard still has feelings for and who is now engaged to another man.

With Dick's encouragement, Richard attempts to win Jackie back, but runs into trouble when he is assigned to write an investigative piece about the new big box discount store proposed to be built on Main Street. Jackie, Glenville's mayor, is a big supporter of the store, but after talking to Dick, Richard knows it will cause economic ruin for Glenville. Faced with the

choice of risking his rekindled relationship with Jackie, or seeing the town he loves fall apart, Richard gets ready to pack up and leave again. This time, it will take Dick's hindsight to show him that the day he stops running is the day he starts moving forward.
