Can you believe Virgin River season 4 is only a few days away!? The new season is sure to bring us new drama. We were expecting this, but it was confirmed after seeing that trailer!
There’s going to be some new characters introduced in the upcoming season, including a new doctor coming to town. Actor Mark Ghanimé will portray Dr. Cameron Hayek. In the third season, Doc had talked about hiring a new doctor, and this is who he chose.
Dr. Hayek is described as a dashing new physician with eye-catching good looks. He also has a razor-sharp intellect, according to Deadline. In the trailer, Muriel teases Jack that he might have some competition since he’ll be Mel’s new co-worker. Whether the series is trying to throw us in a frenzy or if something will actually happen between the two, we’ll have to wait and see.
If you’re wondering who the handsome new actor is, we have all the details you need to know about him below!
The actor was born in Calgary, Alberta on Dec. 1, 1977. That means he’s 44 years old and his zodiac sign is Sagittarius.
Ghanimé stands at 5’10, the same height as leading man Martin Henderson and an inch shorter than Ben Hollingsworth.
You can keep up with the actor through social media. He can be found on Twitter at @markghanime. On Instagram, his account is @themarkghanime. You’ll find different content on his pages, but of course most of his posts are promoting Virgin River season 4!
