Meet Wesley MacInnes
Wesley MacInnes is great at playing the villain. He is often cast in that role, and as such works hard to find what makes the villains the heroes of their own story. His most recent turn as a villain comes as an antagonist to a group of superhero students in the newly imagined version of the wildly popular TV series, Power Rangers.
Wesley not only has talent in-front of the camera, but behind it as well, successfully directing almost a dozen music videos. He is also a country music star himself, whose fans know him best as Wes Mack. He has opened for country royalty such as Florida Georgia Line, Dierks Bentley and Miranda Lambert, and garnered fan and critical acclaim alike with his music.
Wesley is currently keeping busy on the set of of the Liam Neeson feature film Hard Powder, filming in Alberta and British Columbia.
