Andrew William Walker was born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, the son of Joyce Walker, a librarian, and Bruce Walker, a school administrator. His sister is actress and model Jenimay Walker. He is a graduate of Vanier College,[1] where he played football and was given a full scholarship to play at Boston College. After his commitment to BC, he returned home to spring camp at Vanier and tore his anterior cruciate ligament during a routine drill, thus ending his football career.

He is married to fellow Montrealer Cassandra Troy. Together they have two sons: West, born July 2015 and Wolf, born December 2019. In 2013, the couple along with a friend, started Clover, a company that bottles fresh, cold-pressed juices, with locations in the Los Angeles area.[2][3] In 2018, the couple re-branded their juice company, naming it Little West after their love of the west coast and their son, West.[4]

Walker started his acting career in Montreal as a recurring lead on the series Student Bodies in 1996-1997, a series lead on Back to Sherwood and then Radio Active from 1998-2000. A month after he arrived in Hollywood he booked a series lead on the TV show Maybe It's Me, then Sabrina, the Teenage Witch.[5] Following a holding deal at Warner Bros., he worked on Wicked Minds, Adopted, Lies and Deception and then landed a recurring spot on the short-lived ABC sitcom Hot Properties.

In 2006, he played a Neo-Nazi skinhead in the film Steel Toes. His performance won him a 2006 Phillip Borsos award at the Whistler Film Festival[6] and the 2008 ACTRA Award for Best Actor.[7]

Walker appeared in the 2007 Lifetime film Abducted: Fugitive For Love. He went on to guest star on ER, CSI: Miami, CSI: NY, Without a Trace, Reba, and The Big Bang Theory.

In 2010, he guest-starred in the Fox comedy series Sons of Tucson, the Spaghetti Western film The Gundown, and was associate producer for the film Dug Up. In 2011, Walker appeared in a Canadian western film, The Mountie (filmed in 2009), and produced four documentaries and reality TV series in development, also serving as a series regular on Lifetime's cop drama Against the Wall, which was cancelled in December 2011 after thirteen episodes.[8]

In 2012, he starred in his first Hallmark Channel movie A Bride for Christmas alongside Arielle Kebbel.[9] He starred in his next Hallmark movie, A Dream of Christmas with Nikki DeLoach in 2016.[10] In 2017, he starred in six more Hallmark TV movies: Love Struck Cafe, Dashing Through the Snow, Appetite for Love, Date With Love, Love on Ice, and Bridal Wave.
