Benjamin Hollingsworth, the charismatic actor best known for his role as Dan Brady on Virgin River, is stepping up to the plate with some surprising revelations. From the thrill of the World Series to the joys and chaos of raising three young kids, and even a heartfelt nod to author Karen Kingsbury, Hollingsworth’s latest reflections offer a glimpse into a man balancing passion, family, and purpose with charm and honesty.

The Virgin River favorite admits that this time of year has him glued to the TV — not for a new series, but for America’s favorite pastime. “I’ve always loved baseball,” he shared with a laugh. “There’s something poetic about it — the patience, the strategy, the moments that feel suspended in time.” Hollingsworth’s excitement for the World Series isn’t just about the competition, though. It’s also about what the game represents: teamwork, resilience, and the thrill of chasing dreams — values he’s carried both on and off screen.

Between innings, Hollingsworth is just as passionate about another major league in his life: parenting. With three young children at home, life can feel like its own unpredictable game. “Parenting is the most demanding and rewarding role I’ve ever had,” he said warmly. “There are no scripts, no retakes, but every moment matters.”

He describes fatherhood as his grounding force — the balance that keeps him centered in a world of auditions, travel, and the high-pressure environment of Hollywood. “My kids remind me daily what’s truly important,” he explained. “They don’t care about fame or cameras. They just want me present — whether it’s helping with homework or building forts in the living room.”

That sense of authenticity has always defined Hollingsworth’s career. On Virgin River, his portrayal of Brady — a character torn between redemption and rebellion — has won over fans for its emotional depth. Yet off camera, Hollingsworth radiates a much lighter, more playful energy. He credits his family for helping him stay grounded amid the demands of filming. “You can’t bring the stress home,” he said. “When I walk through that door, I’m just Dad. The rest can wait.”

Recently, Hollingsworth’s name has also been linked with beloved author Karen Kingsbury, sparking curiosity among fans. While he didn’t give away too much, he did confirm there’s a creative connection brewing. “Karen is incredible,” he said, smiling. “Her stories have this deep emotional resonance, and working with someone who writes with so much heart has been a gift.”

Though he kept details close to the vest, his enthusiasm hinted that a new project — perhaps inspired by Kingsbury’s signature themes of love, faith, and resilience — may be on the horizon. Fans of both the actor and the bestselling author can only imagine what magic they might create together.

As Hollingsworth reflects on his life at this stage, it’s clear that he’s found a rare harmony between his professional ambitions and personal joy. He’s equally at home in the high drama of television and the simple rhythms of family life — bedtime stories, school runs, and cheering on his favorite team. “I’m learning that fulfillment doesn’t come from the size of the role,” he said. “It comes from the people you share it all with.”

Hollingsworth’s journey offers a refreshing reminder that even in a fast-moving industry, it’s possible to find stillness and meaning. Whether he’s on set in the picturesque town of Virgin River, watching the World Series with his kids, or collaborating on something new with Karen Kingsbury, Benjamin Hollingsworth continues to bring a genuine spirit to everything he does.

As fans eagerly await what’s next — both on screen and perhaps on the page — one thing is certain: Hollingsworth’s next chapter promises to be filled with warmth, purpose, and plenty of surprises. After all, much like baseball, life’s greatest moments often come when you least expect them.
