Early life

Wilson was born in Dallas, Texas, the son of Robert Andrew Wilson and Laura Cunningham Wilson. His family is Irish Catholic.1 He attended St. Mark's School of Texas in Dallas, Texas and Occidental College in Los Angeles, California.

Career

Wilson's film acting career began with the lead role in the film Bottle Rocket in 1996, which was co-written by Wilson's older brother Owen Wilson and director Wes Anderson. Bottle Rocket was later made into a feature-length film, in 1996. After moving to Hollywood with his two brothers, he was cast opposite Calista Flockhart with romantic designs in Telling Lies in America and made a cameo appearance in the film-within-the-film of Scream 2 (both 1997). Wilson filmed back-to-back romantic films opposite Drew Barrymore, Best Men, about a group of friends who pull off a heist on their way to a wedding, and Home Fries (both 1998), about two brothers interested in the same woman for very different reasons. (Off-screen, the actor won the girl; he and Barrymore became a couple, but parted ways in 1998.) Wilson remained in demand, playing the doctor beau of a schoolteacher in Rushmore (also 1998), directed by Anderson and co-written by brother Owen.

A starring role opposite Reese Witherspoon in the 2001 comedy Legally Blonde elevated him to a major name in Hollywood and was followed up by hits like Old School and The Royal Tenenbaums. Wilson also had a notable role in the television show That '70s Show, as Michael Kelso's charming and athletic brother Casey Kelso. He appeared sporadically on the show from 2002 through 2005.

In 2006, Wilson starred in Idiocracy, Mike Judge's first film since 1999's Office Space. Wilson portrayed an especially ordinary serviceman who is chosen for a cryogenics project. He awakes hundreds of years in the future where America is significantly less intelligent. The film was initially dropped by Fox Studios, but re-distributed in 2006. Wilson expressed his sentiments towards Fox's move as "total bullshit".citation needed

In early 2007 Wilson took on a more serious role opposite Kate Beckinsale in the horror thriller Vacancy. In July 2007, he worked on Henry Poole is Here in La Mirada, California.

Wilson is part of the Frat Pack, a group of actors that frequently work together. He is a member along with Owen Wilson (Luke's brother), Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Vince Vaughn, Will Ferrell and Steve Carell.

He starred in the film, Tenure, shot at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania.

In late 2009, Wilson started appearing in AT&T ads responding to Verizons' criticism of AT&T.
