Wesley Dowdell

Wesley Dowdell fell in love with acting after auditioning for his first play while still in school. At 17 he began the first of many roles with Auckland’s Massive Theatre Company. In 2007 he landed the role of gormless truck driver Aaron Spiller for four seasons of Outrageous Fortune, later returning to play Aaron’s father, Dick Spiller in prequel series Westside. He got behind the drum kit in comedy series Coverband, and appeared in crime drama One Lane Bridge. His film credits span family comedy Kiwi Christmas, playing a hard-nosed boxing trainer in coming-of-age drama Punch, and true-story drama Pike River, based on the mining disaster.
