Wesley C. Martin

Author | Actor | Screenwriter | Exercise Physiologist

Wesley C. Martin is an American author, actor, and exercise physiologist whose work explores the boundaries between body, mind, and myth. A former U.S. Marine and graduate of both the University of Colorado Boulder and the University of Glasgow, Martin’s life and art reflect a pursuit of resilience—physical, emotional, and spiritual.

As an actor, Martin has appeared in independent films and stage productions that mirror the same grit and introspection found in his writing. His performances are defined by emotional precision and a deep sense of realism, often portraying conflicted, haunted characters who navigate the space between light and shadow. His screen presence reflects his broader artistic ethos: that strength and vulnerability are two sides of the same truth.

As a writer, Martin is best known for The Revenant’s Mark, a dark historical fantasy set in the American Revolution, and the award-nominated screenplay The Tale of Altora, a Western saga of blood, loyalty, and redemption. His stories draw from his experiences in nature, military service, and human performance science, creating cinematic worlds where endurance becomes revelation.

Beyond storytelling, Martin is an exercise physiologist specializing in human performance and recovery. Through Mustang Performance Lab, he applies advanced physiological testing to help athletes and clients reach their highest potential—merging data-driven precision with a philosophy of personal transformation.

Across his creative and scientific pursuits, Martin remains guided by a single conviction:

“Every test—whether of the heart, the body, or the spirit—is a story waiting to be told.”
