Early life

Born in 1958 in Brighton, East Sussex in England, Wisden moved with his family from Britain to Canada when he was fifteen. He made his film debut in Firebird 2015 AD (1981), landing a key supporting part alongside Darren McGavin and Doug McClure. Four years later he started his television career starring as Terry Dunne in Atom Egoyan's In This Corner (1985).[5]

In 1994, he landed a supporting role in the epic turn-of-the-20th-century drama Legends of the Fall.

He went on to become the Head of Theater Arts at St.George's School for Boys in Vancouver, British Columbia.[6][7] In 2019, Wisden realised a long-held dream when he oversaw the school's successful production of Les Misérables.[8]
