While we’re all watching Virgin River for the love story between Melinda Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson) — who are somehow not dating in real life — another romance has been brewing off-screen.

If you’re not familiar with the man behind Jack’s BFF, allow us to give you a brief introduction. Lawrence is a British-born Canadian actor who started in Hollywood in 1995.

While you may know him from his Virgin River gig, the man has done tons of television and movie work. You may have caught him on major projects like The Twilight Zone, Fantastic Four, Fringe, Girlfriends’ Guide to Divorce, The Good Doctor and Riverdale. He’s also guest starred on all three of the longest-running science fiction series in North America: The X-Files, Stargate SG-1, and Smallville.

Outside of playing Preacher, Lawrence is probably best known for the role of Hamish “Skull” McCall in the Battlestar Galactic series and as Janko in the CW comedy crime drama iZombie. Even though his background is definitely heavy with a lot of supernatural and sci-fi stuff, the actor has said the Virgin River set was a particularly special one for him—especially seeing as how he loves to cook.

“I’m a bonafide chef myself,” he said in a 2019 YouTube interview. “I’m a big chef, foodie type of guy. I like filming a lot of the stuff in Jack’s Bar. My home’s in the kitchen, but Jack’s bar is where all the town comes together.”

Who is Colin Lawrence’s Wife?

Lawrence and Walters have two kids together—and one of them is already making her way into the family business.

Their daughter Biance Lawrence already has her acting resume going, with appearances in series like Supergirl and Day of the Dead as well as starring in a Lifetime TV movie with her dad: Dancing Through the Snow.

“It’s really fun,” she said when asked during an interview what it was like working with her dad on set. “It’s my first time working with him, and I felt like it helped me more because it felt more normal. That was really nice.”

Is Virgin River Renewed for Season 6?
Yes, Netflix has renewed Virgin River for a sixth season. But seeing as how Season 5 won’t be available to stream until September 7, we probably won’t get a Season 6 until late 2024.
