‘Hot Frosty’ Star Dustin Milligan Talks About Awkward Nude Scenes

As a fervent admirer of the captivating world of cinema, I must express my profound respect for Daniel Levy, the multi-talented actor who has mesmerized us with his exceptional performances, particularly in Schitt’s Creek and now Hot Frosty. His journey through the realm of acting is nothing short of inspiring, as he gracefully navigates the complexities of comedy and drama, leaving an indelible mark on our hearts.


Schitt’s Creek actor has been making waves in recent films, notably playing a charming snowman in a holiday romantic comedy. However, it appears that he found the limelight on set somewhat unsettling. The latest addition to the streaming platform’s holiday movie roster has been ruling the charts since its debut, and for now, it seems unwilling to relinquish its number one position.

In a delightful twist, featuring Milligan alongside Lacey Chabert from the iconic “Mean Girls,” this enchanting, albeit occasionally steamy romantic comedy revolves around a woman who mysteriously breathes life into a snowman by means of a magical scarf. This seemingly outlandish movie concept is demonstrating that even the most improbable storylines can flourish, particularly when it achieved a flawless critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Although the film has become another blockbuster success for Netflix, the male lead’s triumph brings an unwelcome side effect: Milligan’s discomfort during numerous scenes where he had to bare his chest.

During a chat with Collider, Milligan was questioned about feeling somewhat reduced to an object while making the film. In response, he expressed:

Extremely uncomfortable, but necessary. Going into it, I knew it would be difficult, so I mentally prepared myself each day. It’s crucial to safeguard oneself and voice one’s needs. Fortunately, I discussed this with Lacey, who supported me throughout, acting as my ally. Sometimes, when things felt challenging, a mere glance between us signaled that I could express my feelings freely, making the experience more comfortable and the day run smoother. This, in turn, enabled a more natural performance, one less restrained, hopefully creating a stronger character for Jack.

Hot Frosty is a Hot Property on Netflix

The fundamental idea behind Hot Frosty might seem destined for disaster, but with a talented cast and a clever script, the film has managed to buck the trends and gain widespread popularity. Critics have praised it as the perfect kind of movie for our times – one that’s lighthearted without being overly serious, providing an enjoyable viewing experience for people seeking comfort on a chilly evening.

Milligan’s exceptional work in recent projects has served as a significant boost to his career, following his remarkable breakout performance in Schitt’s Creek. He has demonstrated an impressive ability to transition seamlessly between comedy and drama, with roles in films like Love Hard and TV series such as Rutherford Falls. At the same time, Lacey Chabert, often referred to as the Hallmark queen, has delivered a similarly impressive performance in her latest role. Her extensive background in Christmas movies allows her to effortlessly take on the lead role of Kathy.
