- Fan of film composer John Williams. Williams is his favorite film composer. He has once said, he's seen films that weren't very good, but when noting the music he liked it. When it's revealed in the credits John Williams composed the score, Wignall knew there was a reason he liked the music in said film.
- Is of French, Welsh, German and Irish descent.
- He makes sure that he is in every film he writes, as he writes a character for himself. The reason is he loves acting and wants to be in the projects he creates on paper. He'll even go as far as not letting anyone buy and/or direct a script he's written unless he is guaranteed to play the character he wrote for himself. However, when he's directing and/or producing a film he wrote, he obviously doesn't have a problem with guaranteeing a part for himself.
