Wes Ramsey’s love for acting began at age 12, from that time on he knew acting would be his profession. After spending 7 years on stage at Louisville’s Walden Theatre, he enrolled and was accepted in New York’s prestigious Juilliard School in 1996. While in New York, he continued his training until he graduated in 2000 as a member of the “29th” group to have completed the program.
With a combined 10 years experience on stage, Ramsey turned his focus toward learning about the camera in the world of daytime television as Sam Spencer on CBS’s Emmy Award winning series, Guiding Light. After two successful years, Wes headed West with hopes of capturing his childhood dreams in Hollywood.
In Los Angeles, Wes quickly began making a name for himself when he was cast to star in his first feature film as Christian, a WEHO party boy in Latter Days, an independent film about love, faith and redemption. Latter Days was released in January 2004 to well respected reviews relevant to the movies theme and cast alike. After Wes completed filming he secured guest starring roles on one of CBS’s highest rated dramas, CSI Miami, and soon after, the WB’s Charmed. By the time Latter Days hit theaters, Wes starred alongside Luis Guzman on a new Fox series, LUIS, as the artist/boyfriend Greg. In the midst of the momentum of the show, Wes took the lead by promoting Latter Days across the country as it won audience awards at numerous film festivals, including, Outfest Critics Choice Award; Outfest and HBO OUT-standing first narrative feature.

Fearless
I opened this website on 29 March 2005 but it's been moved around so much, it's incredible. I'm still trying to find a permenant home for it.
I called it fearless after a comment C.J. Cox, the Director of Latter Days made in HX Magazine in Jan 2004 that he and Steve Sandvoss were fearless.
Why Wes?
Honestly, the first time I saw him was in Charmed and he just raised the tone of the episode. And has continued to do so every time he' appeared since. Then a friend of mine seen Latter Days in the states and bought it and was so moved that I got it and felt just as moved. I think it's amazing that he's so versatile.
