Ruggedly handsome, Wesley always sees the best in people. He has his own joinery business and is father to twins Lexie and Tyler.

James tells us about his role, Wesley Finch, and what is in store for him in the series:

"Wes is a family man with a big heart who has reached the point in his life where his kids are grown up and off to university, his marriage isn’t stale but it is in need of a bit of a turbo charge, and instead of doing the right thing he does the wrong thing. Wes makes a calamitous mistake very early on in the series which leads to disastrous consequences and he snowballs from there.

"One bad thing after another happens to him and it is about how he reacts and gets himself out of the huge hole he has dug for himself."

Playing a leading role in a series that focuses on the ideas and ideals of self-image has meant James Murray has had to film some rather challenging scenes… in his underwear.

"There are a fair amount of scenes at the beginning where my character Wes is in his awful 1980's Y-front underpants.

"When I read that I understood what he is trying to do - which is to portray how image conscious we all are - but then Wes isn’t looking in the mirror and thinking how beautiful he is, but rather thinking he has reached a stage in his life where he is out of shape and is not as healthy as he could be, which made me okay with parading around in my pants."
