Biography
Early life
Wilson was born in Dallas, Texas to Irish
American parents. The son of an advertising executive and a
photographer, he is the youngest of three brothers along with fellow
actors Owen and Andrew (the eldest). He attended St. Mark's School of
Texas, where he continues to hold the school records for the 400 meter
and 800 meter runs.
At Occidental College, Luke was initially
more interested in the school's athletics department than he was in
drama or theater. He excelled at track and field, but eventually gave up
sports after taking a drama class.
Career
Wilson's film acting career began with the
lead role in the short film Bottle Rocket in 1994, which was co-written
by Wilson's older brother Owen 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.
