If memory serves me correctly, Carter Ryan Evancic was the first of the When Calls the Heart kids that I interviewed last year, and he and his parents are people who hold a very special place in my heart for that and many other reasons. This year, it was exciting to get to chat with him again because he has actually won three awards for his portrayal of Cody in this wholesome and uplifting Hallmark Channel show.
RH: Nice to get to talk to you again this year, Carter.
CRE: Glad to talk to you too, Ruth.

I keep thinking you guys are so much older. You seem so much more mature. {pause} I'm so glad you got a Joey Award for When Calls the Heart. It was great to see you win that.

And another fun scene to film was the fight scene.
With that fight scene, how did you prepare for it?
We went over it with a stunt coordinator a few times on a mat. When we really did it, we were on a mat. But at the same time, sometimes we were on the mat and sometimes we weren't.
That's great. Now you can add stunts to your list of skills. {pause} Hearties asked a really interesting question. When you are playing the part of Cody, how much of Carter--yourself--do you bring to that role?
Well, Cody is in a way kinda like me, but in a way sorta not. It is back in the 1900's, so it's a bit different. If I was to go back then, it would be kinda hard 'cause we're used to now instead of then. I don't know if I'd like having to give up some of the stuff I enjoy now. And kids did act a bit differently back then.
How about the way he responds? You've never gotten in a fight, right?
No, I haven't.
So that's not something you would necessarily do as Carter. But what is something that Cody has done that is like you?
Probably sticking up for someone. Not fighting, but I wouldn't let someone get bullied without saying something. Especially if it was one of my
