Biography
A native Texan, Wilson was born in Dallas in 1971. The son of an advertising executive and a photographer, he was raised with two brothers, Owen and Andrew. The three would all go on to make their careers in film, with Wilson discovering his love of acting while a student at Occidental College. In 1993, the brothers Wilson collaborated with Wes Anderson to make Bottle Rocket, which was initially a 15-minute short. The gleefully optimistic story of three Texans who aspire to become successful thieves, Bottle Rocket premiered at the 1993 Sundance Festival, where it attracted the attention of director James L. Brooks. With Brooks' help, the short became a full-length feature film released in 1996. That same year, Wilson also appeared in the coming-of-age drama Telling Lies in America. Old School is the best movie he has done so far also starring Will Ferrell and Vince Vaughn.

Premise: This is the story of a pair of conjoined brothers (AKA "Siamese twins") who have their own legs and arms, but are joined by nine inches at the hip/torso (sharing a liver) who have used their "disability" throughout life to great advantage, such as in sports, where they were a great hockey goalie and wrestling champion. Their happy union is threatened however, when Walt (Kinnear) wants to go to Hollywood to become an actor... so the other twin, Bob (Damon), follows him begrudgingly, because they've pledged to never split up the perfect team. When they get to Los Angeles, the duo soon finds themselves landing a job on a TV show starring Cher (playing herself), which results in quick fame and fortune, but will the new changes in their lives ultimately drive the twins apart? (Mendes plays an actress who becomes Kinnear's romantic interest when they get to L.A.; Streep plays herself playing the character of "Nurse Ratched" in the theatrical play version of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest")
