When Tyler Hynes is not on the screen playing charming characters in Hallmark movies, he leads an adventurous life that rivals his on-screen personas. Hynes, known for his roles as a photographer, writer, handyman, and mechanic, shows his fans that he is just as daring off-camera.
Although filming Hallmark movies can sometimes take actors to exotic locations, Hynes experienced a misadventure resulting in a concussion while filming the 2022 romance “Always Amore,” where he played a humble restaurant consultant, not an outdoorsman. When discussing his alternate career choices on the “Deck the Hallmark Podcast,” Hynes mentioned he might have pursued running a masonry business or flipping houses. During the 2020 pandemic, he shared his plans of renovating a cottage with a friend, revealing a side of him that is not just limited to acting.

He showcased his skateboarding skills in various videos and social media posts, displaying his flair for flip tricks and navigating skate parks. Hynes even appeared in the comedy “Letterkenny,” where his skateboarding abilities were highlighted, showcasing a different side of his talent.
Fascinated by skateboarding, Hynes ventured into directing by capturing his friends’ skateboarding moments but not without a few skateboarding-related injuries along the way. During an interview, he humorously shared some skateboarding mishaps, shedding light on the less glamorous side of the sport.
