Owen Cunningham Wilson (born November 18, 1968) is
an Irish-United States|American actor known for
the diverse roles he has played and his slightly
crooked nose (broken playing football as a
teenager).  He has been dubbed "the Butterscotch
Stallion" by the internet gossip site Gawker
Media|Defamer, a nickname which has widely caught
on in the mainstream press. His mild voice and
oddball character make him perfect for his many
petty crook roles.  Wilson has co-written three
films with director Wes Anderson—Bottle
Rocket, Rushmore (movie)|Rushmore, and The Royal
Tenenbaums, and was nominated for an Academy Award
in 2001 for Best Original Screenplay for his work
with Anderson on The Royal Tenenbaums. Wilson's
younger brother, Luke Wilson, is also a well-known
actor.

Wilson's roles have varied between small, quirky
comedy collaborations with Anderson and bigger
budget box office fare, including seven movies
made with actor Ben Stiller.

Wilson was born in Dallas, Texas, attended the St.
Mark's School of Texas before graduating from high
school at the New Mexico Military Institute. He
then attended the University of Texas at Austin.
