In an exclusive conversation with PEOPLE at San Diego Comic Con 2024, the actor, 43, opened up about what he's learned about his The Groomsmen costars, Tyler Hynes and B.J. Britt, since teaming up for the upcoming Hallmark trilogy.
"I've learned so much about them," he shares with a smile. "The chemistry between me, Tyler, and BJ is absolutely off the charts. We cannot get through a take without laughing and we get in so much trouble on set every day because all we do is mess with each other when we're doing each other's coverage for filming. We would get in trouble every single day because we were making each other laugh too hard."

"He's so funny and so hilarious. He has such a tender heart under all that comedy that makes him a beautiful performer," he adds of his costar.
As for Hynes, he teases, "And Tyler, I finally understand why he always has a toothpick in his mouth. It's because things always get stuck in his teeth after lunch. That's why."
During the Television Critics Association summer press tour on July 11, Hallmark announced its first-ever movie trilogy, The Groomsmen, which centers around love from the man's point of view.
