Tyler Hynes has quietly built a loyal following across television and movies. While many viewers recently saw him in NCIS during a guest appearance, his career extends far beyond that crime show.

Hynes regularly appears in Canadian productions, independent films, and Hallmark Channel favorites, earning a reputation for roles that blend charm with authentic storytelling. Fans who only know him from NCIS often discover he has a broad range, from small-town romances to comedies and even a stint on the cult Canadian hit Letterkenny.

If you’re curious about what else he has done, there are five projects worth adding to your watchlist. They show different stages of his career and explain why audiences connect with him.

"It Was Always You" cast him opposite Erin Krakow in one of Hallmark’s most talked-about romances. "Winter in Vail" paired him with Lacey Chabert in a snowy Colorado setting. "Falling for You" displayed his chemistry with Taylor Cole in a fall festival story. "Three Wise Men and a Baby" became a breakout Hallmark holiday hit. And of course, his role as Dierks in "Letterkenny" proved he can step outside the cozy formula into sharper comedy.

5 Tyler Hynes TV shows and movies

1) It Was Always You (2021)

This is the one Tyler Hynes fans always mention when asked for a favorite. He enters the film as David, the younger brother who disrupts his sibling’s wedding plans, and suddenly the story feels less like a typical Hallmark formula and more like a personal choice about happiness.

What makes it work isn’t the plot- we all know where it’s headed— it’s the way Hynes portrays David. He doesn’t force the “fun brother” routine. Instead, he moves through scenes with that easy charm that feels genuine.

Erin Krakow matches him beat for beat, and together they develop chemistry that sneaks up on you. Elizabeth’s conflict feels authentic because who hasn’t second-guessed settling for the safe option? Watching Hynes push her toward taking risks makes the ending more impactful. If you want to see why he became a Hallmark regular, this is the movie to start with.


2) Winter in Vail (2020)

Sometimes, a Hallmark movie is about more than just romance; it’s about showcasing a place. Winter in Vail does both. Lacey Chabert plays Chelsea, a burnt-out event planner, while Tyler Hynes is Owen, the contractor who becomes her anchor.

The film could have relied solely on snowy scenery, but it’s Hynes who makes the quieter moments memorable. He isn’t delivering grand speeches or dramatic confessions; he’s flipping strudel in a kitchen, cracking a half-smile, and gradually showing Chelsea that life doesn’t have to be lived at full speed. His chemistry with Chabert feels relaxed, like these two genuinely enjoy each other's company.

By the end, you aren’t just rooting for Chelsea to leave her career; you’re rooting for her to stay in that small town with Owen. This is comfort viewing, and Hynes is the reason it feels so warm.


3) Falling for You (2018)

Before Tyler Hynes became a go-to name for Hallmark, Falling for You proved why he would get there. The setup is classic: a small-town radio host needs help saving her station, and a big-city outsider gets involved.

Hynes plays Zac, the reluctant bachelor pulled into a fundraiser bake-off, and from the moment he steps into the kitchen, you can see him enjoying it. He begins smug, rolling his eyes at small-town traditions, but gradually, his guard comes down. The turning point isn’t a grand gesture but those smaller moments, him listening to Lacey’s concerns, fumbling through baking, and finally admitting he enjoys being part of something.

That’s what makes the romance work: it doesn’t feel rushed. Taylor Cole is a strong match, but it’s Hynes’s ability to play both skeptical and sincere that makes this more than just background comfort TV. It’s worth watching.


4) Three Wise Men and a Baby (2022)

Hallmark doesn’t usually dive into ensemble comedies, but Three Wise Men and a Baby was a risky move that paid off. Tyler Hynes doesn’t play the smooth romantic lead here; he portrays Stephan, the slightly awkward, anxious middle brother, and he fully commits to the role. Alongside Paul Campbell and Andrew Walker, Hynes gets to show off timing and humor that fans don’t always see in his other projects.

The baby-centered chaos, midnight feedings, diaper disasters, makeshift lullabies, could’ve been cheap comedy, but the cast makes it feel genuinely funny and even touching. Hynes gives Stephan layers, showing that under the nerves and awkwardness, there’s real heart.

By the time the brothers start figuring things out, you feel invested in their growth, not just the holiday setting. It became one of Hallmark’s biggest hits for a reason: it’s playful, heartfelt, and a reminder that Hynes works just as well in comedy as romance.


5) Letterkenny (2016–2019, recurring role)

Fans who know Tyler Hynes only from Hallmark are usually shocked when they see him pop up in Letterkenny. As Dierks, he’s nothing like the charming, reliable guy you expect. He’s cocky, smooth-talking, and, frankly, kind of a jerk. But that’s what makes his run on the show so much fun; he throws off the balance of this small-town comedy and sparks some of its funniest confrontations.

Hynes doesn’t soften Dierks or make him secretly redeemable. He plays him straight: the guy you can’t trust but can’t stop watching. And in a show built on quick dialogue and sharp humor, he proves he can keep pace.

For fans, this role is a great reminder of his range. He’s not locked into cozy romances- he can be the guy who makes you laugh, roll your eyes, and still wait for the inevitable downfall. It’s a different Hynes, and absolutely worth seeing.
