For Immediate Release: July 12, 2011 TOM SCHANLEY TO APPEAR AS DOUG RANDALL IN HALLMARK CHANNEL'S "KEEPING UP WITH THE RANDALLS"

(July 12, 2011) Los Angeles - On Saturday, July 16th, actor Tom Schanley returns to television to star opposite Roma Downey, Marion Ross, Kayla Ewell and Thad Luckinbill in the Hallmark Channel Original Movie "Keeping Up with the Randalls." Schanley plays Doug Randall. Budding designer Alicia Crosby (Kayla Ewell) must earn the approval of her boyfriend's family and she must do so under the pressures of their annual athletic extravaganza. Alicia is a hugely successful children's fashion designer based in Los Angeles.  Her personal life is equally successful as Alicia suspects her boyfriend, Will Randall (Thad Luckinbill), is going to pop the question any day now. But first, Alicia must survive meeting Will's family, which means getting down and dirty in their annual "Randall Reunion Races," where she is up against everyone from Will's dad, Doug (Schanley) and mom, Barb (Roma Downey), to seemingly sweet Grandma Dorrie (Marion Ross), to even Will's ex-girlfriend, Kris (McKenna Jones).  It is no surprise to anyone, Alicia included, that she is not up to the athletic challenges.  "Keeping Up With the Randalls," premieres Saturday, July 16, 2011 at 9/8c (check local listings) on the Hallmark Channel Network.  LINKS Tom Schanley: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0770031/   "Keeping Up With the Randalls": http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1754400/combined and http://www.hallmarkchannel.com/keepingupwiththerandalls
