James WigneyHit.TV Editor/Scene editor

James Wigney is the editor of the Hit.TV and Scene entertainment liftouts in the Herald Sun and Sunday Herald sun and has been writing about film, music, television and comedy for more than two decades. In that time he has interviewed some of the biggest names in the entertainment world – from Pink Floyd and Pink to Harrison Ford and Jennifer Lawrence – and been behind the scenes on Marvel and James Bond films and backstage with Coldplay and U2. He’s also a pop culture tragic, with a particular interest in sci-fi, and very broad musical tastes (and a particular soft spot for classic rock).
