Wesley attended Christian Brothers Academy in Lincroft, New Jersey, and Marlboro High School for a period during his high school years. He started his theater studies in New York City and transferred from Marlboro High School to Lakewood Prep School in Howell, New Jersey, because the school was able to better accommodate his acting schedule.

Wesley starred as Stefan Salvatore in the teen drama television series The Vampire Diaries since its premiere in September 2009 on The CW. His work garnered him two Teen Choice Awards, two Young Hollywood Awards and nominations for People's Choice Awards.
Throughout the years, he has appeared in a variety of films.
