A short love story of Janet Holden and Eric McCormack

Janet met Eric in 1994 on the set of the Lonesome Dove TV show in Canada in which she was an assistant director.

In a 2007 interview with The Guardian, McCormack gushed about his first encounter with his now estranged wife. He said,

“I met my wife, Janet, in 1994 on the set of a TV series. She was the assistant director. I was just coming out of a relationship, and not to be trusted. I’d been dating actresses but Janet was different. She wore jeans, drove a pick-up truck,”

The actor acknowledged that although they began dating they kept their romance a secret for a while.

“At first she wasn’t too keen. She knew actors are a lot of work: it would be like taking your work home with you. But I managed to convince her, We had a secret affair the first season. I mean, dating crew! Actually, it was much worse for her, because she wasn’t supposed to give any of the actors preferential treatment.”

In 1995, the two first went public with their relationship and married two years later on August 3, 1997.

They also shared a son together named Finnigan, who was born on July 1, 2002.
