Where You've Seen Beau Mirchoff Before His Role On Hallmark's Newest Series, Ride
The season finale of Hallmark's new show "Ride" airs Sunday, May 28, 2023. Actor Beau Mirchoff plays the character of Cash McMurray in the show, the second oldest in the McMurray family. Cash returns to the McMurray family ranch after his time in the Marine Corps, and he steps up to become the professional bull rider of the family after the death of his older brother Austin. Cash needs to perform well enough in bull riding to earn a sponsorship, which would help the McMurray family's dire financial straits.

But before the exciting days of bull riding, what was Mirchoff up to on screen?

He won the 2012 Teen Choice Award for Choice TV Breakout Performance – Male for his performance as Matty. Leading up to the awards, he even went as far as to post a song on YouTube to inspire people to "Vote for Beau" — in the video, he plays guitar and lip-syncs the lyrics, sung by someone just off camera.
Mirchoff is also known for his role on Good Trouble
More recently, Beau Mirchoff has been seen as the confident lawyer Jamie Hunter in "Good Trouble." He started playing Jamie in a few episodes of "The Fosters," before becoming a main character in its spin-off show.

Mirchoff also played the character of Ford in 2019's "Now Apocalypse." Ford is a screenwriter and the best friend of protagonist Ulysses, who is played by former "Victorious" star Avan Jogia. The show chronicles the lives of Ulysses and his friends, all aspiring for some kind of fame, love, and/or notoriety — but Ulysses begins having nightmares that seem like bad omens for trouble to come.
