A WREXHAM actor, who has Hollywood experience, is among the cast for a new drama series set in the city.
Earlier this week, The Leader reported that former Coronation Street stars Dean Fagan and Ian Puleston-Davies were involved in the production of 'Up the Town'.
Along with 'Win the Crowd Films', they are hoping to get the crime drama series off the ground and onto our television screens over the next few months.
Scenes for the series are being filmed in Wrexham and among the cast is Harrison Tipping.
Harrison was born and raised in Wrexham but moved to New York at 18 years old to pursue his acting career.
He received great praise for his debut feature in US film 'Protocol 7', in which he starred in as a lead role opposite Eric Roberts and British actor Mathew Marsden.

But last week, Harrison returned to his Wrexham roots to join the rest of the 'Up the Town' cast.
Commenting on the experience, he said: "This proof of concept is the beginning of something huge in Wrexham as we intend to turn it into a TV series set in and make it all about Wrexham and its people.
"Having been born in Wrexham and lived there until I moved to America to follow my acting career it means so much to me having been apart of something about Wrexham and its people."
