Wesley "Wes" Brown is a native of Texas but he grew up in Louisiana. He worked as a model while he attended Louisiana State University and then moved to Los Angeles upon graduation in search of acting work. After cutting his teeth in commercials, he landed a leading role in the 2004 comedy film "The Lady is a Doll." The following year, he appeared in the romantic drama miniseries "Beach Girls," further establishing himself as a dashing newcomer in Tinseltown. Brown popped up in more mainstream projects in the years that followed, including "CSI: Miami," "Criminal Minds," "NCIS," and "True Blood." He had a recurring role in the hit HBO series, playing Soldiers of the Sun member Luke McDonald.

In 2010, Brown landed his first Hallmark film. He starred as Clark Davis in "Love Begins," a period drama that was nominated for most inspiring TV program at the MovieGuide Awards and remains one of the most popular Hallmark movies to date. He didn't dedicate himself to Hallmark fully from this point — he went on to appear in the likes of "90210" and "Desperate Housewives" – but it was the start of a journey that would make him a favorite with fans of the cable network.

Outside of acting, Brown is also known for his music. He released a Christmas EP in 2020, which includes a song he wrote called "Snowed in With You." Brown "had a blast" recording the EP and hopes for more musical endeavors in the future, he told Southern Living. A couple of his Hallmark films have allowed him to show off his musical skills as well – he even played Elvis Presley's piano in the film "Christmas at Graceland."
