Biography
Born and reared in Dallas, Owen Wilson raised enough hell in high school to get expelled from one institution in tenth grade, but he managed to attend college at the University of Texas in Austin and graduate in 1991. Wilson's often works with Wes Anderson who he met at Austin. Their first film together, was called Bottle Rocket, which was released in theaters in 1996. That same year, Wilson also began a fertile association with actor/director Ben Stiller, appearing in one memorable scene as a smooth, ill-fated date in Stiller's black comedy The Cable Guy. Wilson has now worked with Ben Stiller in a number of movies. The first time I noticed Owen Wilson was in the movie Anaconda. He also has a brother that is an actor name Luke Wilson, his most resent movie is Old School.
