Life

Wilson was born in Dallas, the eldest of three sons of photographer Laura Cunningham Wilson (born 1939) and Robert Andrew Wilson (1941–2017), an advertising executive and operator of a public television station. His younger brothers Owen and Luke are also actors. Wilson is of Irish descent.[3]

Career

Wilson has worked in the entertainment industry since the early 1990s, appearing in more than two dozen films.
